Default Quick Brembo Bleed Question...

Are you supposed to bleed from both bleeder valves on each caliper?

Thanks

Yes, you need to do both sides of each caliper.

Do the outside valve first, and then the inside.

actually, according to Brembo's instructions, bleed the inside before the outside of each caliper. in this order: Right Front -> Left Rear -> Left Front -> Right Rear.

Not to be a a-hole, but I bled my brakes today and the Nissan Service manual for the '03 says to bleed the calipers in the order of: Left Rear, Right Front, Right Rear and Left Front. I get the fact that the left rear goes first because the line is the longest, but I don't get why the right front is second because it has the third longest line. I did it anyways though and it worked pretty good.
