My 71 manual states, for all drums and floating caliper & drum system, to start with rear wheels and move to front. For fixed (4 piston) caliper & drum, to start with the front and move to the rear. Any ideas? I have the 4 piston setup, and started with the rears as I have known was generally proper, but my pedal still sinks a bit on the first pump compared to subsequent pumps. Wonder if bleeding the fronts first will make a difference? |

Give it a try, I do know that the K.H. 4 piston caliper is pretty high and any air will end-up there. With the Discs, most of the pressure is set forward so that may be why they want you to bleed the fronts first. DD |

My favorite way to bleed brakes is to use Speedbleeder one-way valves. These things replace the usual bleeder screws, and I've found I can get a lot more air out using these things than with conventional brake bleeding techniques. |

Matt, yep I put in speedbleeders all around. They do work well, just must be careful because three pumps of pedal with one open bleeder and the resevoiur is drained. |
