order for bleeding brakes

Post by mp »

Can someone tell me the order for bleeding brakes on a 93 Legacy sedan without ABS? I am doing the 60K maintenance and changing the fluid.

thanks

Pretty sure it's rear passenger, rear driver, front passenger, front driver.

proper order, per the FSM regardless of non-abs or abs is:

Right Front
Left Rear
Left Front
Right Rear

Some will argue that you want to do the furthest away from the MC first......I've done the FSM way and the furthest away. I ended up having best results by following the manual.

Thanks for replying!!

Josh, I am going to have to go with your advice.

I am the person who recently emailed you regarding tire size for WRX wheels.

I have the wheels and the Bridgestone Potenza RE750 in size 205/50/16 that are ready for mounting just as soon as I perform the brake fluid change.

Will send a pix of the car tomorrow!!

Just fixed the rust under the mirror problem as well. Mine was mostly drivers side only with only minor prob on passenger side.

Used marine grade expoxy for the fix and replaced those crummy Subaru foam pieces with some white foam wrapping material that is hydrophobic and also floats. Put a layer of silicone in between as well for good measure.

Can't wait to see it with the new wheel package.

I stand corrected :D

With my speed bleeders I did both rears then both fronts at a time. worked out well.

The reason the order is the way it is, is because each brake circuit (primary/secondary) are on diagonal circuits
