On a dual circuit system, you should start at the R. front, then the L. front. Get the front brakes done before moving on to the rears. Then do the R. rear, then the L. rear. Do the disc brake calipers have the bleeders at the top, or the bottom. They should be at the top. Don't mess with that bolt, unless you are tearing the MC apart for a rebuild. It keeps the front piston seperated from the rear piston. -- Russ Wolfe '71 Fastback AT '66 Fastback MT (not running yet) russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
