bleeding
 
hi
is there any real advantage by doing clutch/brake bleeding with pressure?(like someone to press the brake pedal/clutch pedal)instead of just open the nipple and let it bleed itself.

I tried gravity bleed and gave up after 30 minutes. Might be fine if you can leave the car sit for a while.

A getto trick is to use a large syringe matched to a vacuum line hose that fits tight on the nipple.

Connect syringehoseatron-lossen nipple-suck fluid- tighten nipple-empty syringe and go again.

I've done this a few times, never had a issue.

That's pretty much how I bleed mt bike hydro brakes. Down and dirty - done.

I do the same, first I take all the brake fluid from the plastic container and refill with my preferred one and then follow your procedure.
But it needs good bleeding, 100-200kms of driving and bleeding again as to replace all the old brake fluid.

I cant see the benefit by driving it and bleed it again.

Have been told from Subaru mechanic that ABS valves keep some fluid inside!

Get a scan tool that does ABS bleed, problem solved. Cheapest one on Amazon is around $225.

4-5 times the cost of new good brake fluid while labor is quite cheap locally...
