Talking Bleeder newbee help.

This is my first time attemptting to bleed my brakes.

G35 cpe w/ AP Racing big brake kit. Bleeders appear to be ~ 8.5mm OD.

I will be using suction from this-



Bleeders-




My question is which bleeder do I use. I assume "A". Do I open up "B" bleeder at all? Think this is refered to as "outside/inside".

You bleed B side first then A (inside/outside) don't open both valves take your time and do one at a time. Also, this is my opinion but I wouldn't use that bleeder tool, their notorious for leaving air bubbles in your system. I recommend the motive power bleeder, best $70 I'd ever spend makes bleeding brakes so easy.

Once you get A done. , go back to B for another pump.

That picture is the right idea, but technically, the clutch is being bled in the picture not the brakes. And I think that is a Wilwood reservoir swap - not OEM clutch reservoir..

So yeah, get a Motiv bleeder and hook it up to the brake reservoir.
