Rotor / Bleeding

1. What is the hub nut size to remove the r.r. rotor, the big one with the cotter pin in front of it?

2. If you have only opened the right rear brake line, do you need to bleed all 4 lines or just the one you opened? (seems to be a controversy on this point)

I'd bleed the whole car personally, but then again I get kinda paranoid when it comes to brake stuff.

you dont need to remove the hub nut to remove the rotor. just take off the caliper and it comes off. and what do you mean with only opening? if you disconnected the hose and fluid leaked out then yes the whole system has to be bleeded.

Thanks. Is there any way to bleed the whole car as a one-man project just kalking the pedal and then releasing, running back and forth to the bleeder valves or is a 2nd person mandatory?

Yes you can bleed the brakes yourself, but it will take you forever.

Just ask someone to pump the pedal for you. I'll bet the first person you ask will not turn you down.

you could run back and forth but anyone can pump the pedal for you. or you can buy those speed bleeders from local parts store.
