Going to flush my brakes tomorrow, what sequence?
 

Hi, going to flush my brakes tomorrow, 2016 Platinum. I've searched online and checked all my manuals and cannot find the answer, what is the proper sequence?

Thank you

Always start from the caliper furthest from the master cylinder.

1st - Passenger side rear
2nd - Driver side rear
3rd - Passenger side front
4th - Driver side front

Just found this thread...

"Front (RH), front (LH), rear (RH), rear (LH)." Typically brakes are bled starting with the furthest brake from the master cylinder. Anyone know why Nissan does it opposite?"

I’ve always done the sequence I listed and have never had any issues.

From the 2017 Maxima service manual for bleeding brakes, flushing should be the same.

RF-LF-RR-LR

Bleeding Brake System INFOID:0000000012227413
CAUTION:
• Do not spill or splash brake fluid on painted surface. Brake fluid may damage paint. If brake fluid is
splashed on painted surface, wash away with water immediately.
• While bleeding, pay attention to brake fluid level.
• Do not allow reservoir tank to empty as this may cause damage to master cylinder internal components.
• Before working, disconnect the harness connector from the ABS actuator and electric unit (control
unit) or negative battery terminal. Refer to PG-105, "Exploded View".
1. Turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect the harness connector from the ABS actuator and electric unit
(control unit) or negative battery terminal. Refer to PG-105, "Exploded View".
2. Connect a vinyl tube to front (RH) brake caliper bleeder valve.
3. Fully depress brake pedal 4 or 5 times.
4. With brake pedal depressed, loosen bleeder valve to bleed air in brake line, and then tighten it immediately.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until all of the air is out of the brake line.
6. Tighten the bleeder valve to the specified torque. Refer to BR-39, "BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY :
Exploded View" (FRONT DISC BRAKE) or BR-44, "BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY : Exploded View"
(REAR DISC BRAKE).
7. Repeat steps 2 through 6 with reservoir tank filled at least halfway. Bleed the air in the following order from
the front (RH), front (LH), rear (RH), rear (LH).

Perfect, thank you! Going to get started...

I bought my car with 80,000 miles on it so I'm not sure if a brake flush was ever done. It's hard to tell when the new fluid gets in my canister. If I go back to the start (front RH) and get more fluid out, can I do that?

Anyways, my front brakes squeak so I'm putting new brake grease on them. Does anyone know the torque spec for the caliper bolts? EDIT - think I found it, 23ft lbs.

tube size
 

any idea what size tube I need? bought a bleeder kit but the tubes that came with it was too small.
