hello all, im wondering if one of our well known experts can help me out with the best procedure to bleed my breaks. i have all new calipers and a vacuum pump. any hints or tips will help. thanks guys

If it will do so, just open the bleeders one at a time and gravity bleed it a bit.

Then apply vacuum and just open one at a time. Nothing special. You may find the vacuum bleeder works very well. Even better if you have o-ring calipers.

The standard caliper seal is a cup type designed to stop fluid from comming out, but with the vacuum applied, it can sometimes allow air to be sucked into the caliper. This can make you nuts. The air would be limited to the caliper itself. All of the lines would be fine, and you would just have to bleed the brakes with gravity or a well placed foot when you are done with the vacuum.

In the unusual case, the vacuum bleeder will pull air into the other side caliper, and start to fill the lines. While this is not common with a vacuum bleeder, it can happen. The stronger the vacuum, the more likely it will happen.

It won't happen with o-ring seals. And if you keep the vacuum down a bit, you won't have any trouble. I have often used vacuum bleeders, and like them.
