Default 18's on Saff and my brakes....and a question..

Wow my car looks good,Lint Grey with very similar coloured wheels!will sort some pics out when i find my phone

The wheels are Aero GT 18's i used 3mm spacers all round due do needing them to clear the brakes!....Being AP racing 328mm off the 3DR,i think suitable for road use and BIG BHP...The top of the tyre is about 1mm away from the bottom on the front shock base

The question is...can i just bleed the brakes just using the nipple closest to me or do i have to do both sides of the caliper?

The nipple is there for purpose not just to look pretty.

need to do both sides, they wouldnt have put it there if it wasnt needed.

How I do it, dunno if it the ford way or not though

Do rears first

Ignition on to charge abs pump
Connect one way bleed valve to nsr, jam brake peddle down, open nsr rear bleed valve, leave open till fluid comes out, repeat for osr rear

Then nsf outer bleed vlave, in normal pump the peddle fashion then inner nsf, then inner osf and finally outer osf
