What is the process of brake bleeding. what is the best way to go about doing this?

 

Lots of good info here:

If you are going to be doing it often, I would recommend purchasing a pressure bleeder. I've tried the Mightyvac units and I don't recommend them, especially the cheap ones. I think Motive one are good and of course Snap-On makes nice stuff.

Whatever method you use, DO NOT let the reservoir run dry!!! All the work you did was for nothing and you'll have to start all over again. Fill that thing often. Also, keep some wet rags handy. If you spill brake fluid on your paint, you want to clean it up immediately. If allowed to sit for a while, it will strip the paint off.

Good luck

also you want to start bleeding at the tire that is furthest away from the master cylinder then in order of distance back to the last wheel closest.

 

One of the older threads in the Wheels/Tires/Brakes/Suspension forum had the exact order from the manual.

Start the engine and bleed in order:
1) Right Rear
2) Left Front
3) Left Rear
4) Right Front

Different than I've seen for other cars, but I'm willing to bet it has to do with our ABS sytem.

Oh - this info was for an Evo 8.
