Bleeding Brakes after magnus CMC install
 

Hello everyone, there are a few threads about this but I can't get a straight answer...What is the correct order to bleed the brakes on an Evo X?

I recently did a magnus cmc install and we bled the brakes afterward but they are squishy now....we bled them in the order that is farthest wheel from the BMC to the closest wheel to the BMC...they were still squishy but worked well enough to get home but they certainly don't bite like they should...a few days later we tried it again using a vacuum bleeder and my brother did it in just some willy nilly order and said that it wouldn't make a difference what order its done in...and i know that he bleed the outside nipple first then the inside on all the calipers...i have heard that the correct order is:

1. Drivers side rear
2. Passenger front
3. Passenger rear
4. Drivers side front...........Is this correct for a X?

thanks for the help!!!{thumbup}

I just checked the service manual. What you have listed is the correct order.

Awesome I will try this week...Thanks!

Strange, I've found on the net that it's Passenger rear, Driver front, Driver rear, Passenger front. I'll try and find a link, did they change it from the Evo 8/9 series specifically? It's not just the distance from the ABS unit but also the pairing they use diagonally on the car. They do it diagonally on a 2 channel system since then if the system has a failure and 2 wheels lockup out of the 4, the opposite corners will balance each other out to prevent a spin. Then again I think we have a 4 channel ABS on our car so who knows, LOL.

Outside of the caliper then inside is definitely right though.
