Just wanted to tell everyone that when i was bored today i decided to bleed the front brakes... and the result was awesome!!! The pedal is much stiffer now and the car stops on a dime...

 

which process did you use to bleed them in

 

alright whats the easiest method, you talked me into it.

 

Umm, your supposed to stop from the right rear, not just do the fronts...

 

Thats exactly what I was thinking..lol.

 

See what even half @ssed maintenance can do.

 

lol


im too lazy to do mine..

but i guess 80k miles passed so i should do it anyways

 

i heard it was supposed to be farthest away and in an X way or something..

 

from farthest to closest to the (master cylinder?,(its 1:22am not sure if im right) so you would start at the rear passenger, rear driver, front passenger, front driver.

 

Yeah, they give half a$$ed results.

 

I just changed 3 of my spark plugs and WOW what a difference!!!

 

it's right rear lt front lt rear then rt front

 

Farthest from the master cylinder, working towards it...

pass. rear
driver rear
pass. front
driver front

You want to get out all the dirty/moisturized fluid at the ends first of course. If you did the front first, the front half of your car would have clean brake fluid, then when you go to do the rear, you're going to be using the clean brake fluid to push the rear out, which will make it mix and you will end up wasting a lot of fluid (since you're mixing you will need to keep using more and more until you finally get out all the dirty/mixed fluid) and not end up with as clean fluid in the end.

This way, doing the rear first, you are ensured the rear portion of the brake lines have clean fluid in them, then when you bleed the front brakes that rear brake fluid isnt moving anywhere and you're just pushing out the fluid left in the front of the car.

 

Yea i started 2 days ago doing it the way stated above but then yesterday i just did the fronts again...just because i wanted to be sure all the fluid was clean. but even yesterday when i turned the bleeder screw tons of air came out before the fluid...

 

Okay, here's what the FSM says about the order in which to bleed the brakes:

 

how much would it cost to go to a Nissan shop and have them do this for you?

 

the way i stated is way stated in the mannual
