Hi all Just a quick question:

On my 3 Door Cosworth the front caliper was sticking, so removed discs and pads, repaired caliper, put all back together etc, bled front brakes and then tested, calipers stuck on both sides.
Am i correct in saying I also need to bleed the rears too?
Was hoping to get away with fronts only.
What is the correct procedure for this if this is the case.
(old skool stuff no worries, damn cars).
Thanks in advance for replies.

 

I have just done my rears, I bleed the whole system just from a maintenance point of view. Haynes say to "Bleed the brakes" so not helpful.

I would think you only need to do the ones your working on from my theory as the brakes are dual circuit, I.E independent circuits for front and back so I should think it can only effect that circuit, but I am not sure.

As for the order do it furthest away from the master cylinder and work your way in (I.E rear nearside, rear offside, front nearside, front offside)

With the rears turn the ignition ON to pos 1 and then have someone press the brake pedal (Don't use a one man bleed kit on the rears)

Fronts are done in the usual manor.

Thanks Martin,
did the fronts, no need to do rears.
Had to strip down and redo the caliper as one pot was stuck.
All back together now, a happy Jas
many thanks
