My motor swap is almost done and I should have the car running by the end of this week. Since my master cylinder was out and the lines disconnected, how do I bleed the brakes after this?
My Helms is at the garage, but I looked briefly through the Chilton I have at home and it looks like I *might* need to use a Tech 1/2 to do this. (which I'd like to avoid if possible)
Any ideas?
Thanks!

 

well it says you SHOULDT bleed the brakes if your ABS INOP light is on AND/OR if you have traction control! well my abs inop is on cause i have it all disconnected and i NEVER ONCE have used a tech 1 tool when bleeding my brakes and mine bleed just fine so honestly i wouldnt worry about it!

the procedure that you wanna use when bleeding the brakes is as follows..

start with the ABS module and bleed the REAR bleeder screw on the abs module FIRST..

then bleed the FRONT screw on the abs module..

then bleed ALL the brakes in THIS ORDER (starting with the farthest from the master cylinder)
RIGHT REAR
LEFT REAR
RIGHT FRONT
LEFT FRONT!!

then bleed the rear bleed screw on the abs module AGAIN and then the front one AGAIN!

when u bleed the abs module you have to do it with the car off cause you have to remove the intake to get to them.. but on the brakes i like to have the car running.. for some reason i seem to get better results when the car is running! personally i like to bleed each wheel 10 times before i move on to the next wheel! make sure that you dont let the master cylinder get low though or youll be doing this sh*t all night

that should do it

 

what motor did u put in?

 

Nothing special, just a low mileage 94 motor in the 93 I bought a few months ago.
If all goes well and the motor is good, I'll put a cam and headers in later this fall.

 

right rear, left rear, right front, left front

i didnt bleed the abs, no problems.
