Bleeding brakes
Hi all
I'm having new discs and pads on the front of my car and having new rear discs, pads and calipers.
Is there a order to bleed the brakes when we have finished, the car will be on a 4 post lift or can put on a ramp lift if they need bleeding with load on the axles.
Thanks for any help

is it a cossie?
then use the pump to bleed the rears and the foot to do the fronts and don't let the resivour run empty
if it's the escort in your pic, then do the rears with your foot and then the fronts with your foot

As said, also when refitted apply the foot brake vigorously several times before applying the handbrake, otherwise it won't work properly.
I always start furthest away from the M/C and work my way in, i.e. the nearside rear first, then offside rear etc.
