I'm needing to replace both front calipers, while I have never done it before I'm confident I can but I'm just wondering because car has ABS do I need to bleed whole system and if so is there specific sequence or can I just bleed front 2 brakes


Do the whole lot, start with he n/s rear then o/s rear. I do 't think theres anything specific to the abs system, I've not seen aything to say it's no different to any other bleeding proceedure

So rear left, rear right then is it front left then front right?

Yes sorry forgot to add that


I follow a slightly different order as I was advised brakes are liked diagonally to stop the car from spinning

 

I do ns front os rear then os front ns rear.

 

the main thing is do all of them and keep an eye on your reservoir so you dont suck air in to the system again ;)

Something to watch out for. I replaced one of mine last year with a reconditioned unit and the pistons started sticking after a while. When i took them out to have a look i found lots of slimy silver paint inside. Looks like they painted the inside aswell as the outside.

I'm the same as jay and im sure the workshop says to bleed them of set but if your just doing thr fronts and have rubber hoses still just use some mole grips too close the hose off remove the caliper should have to bleed it all then unless you drain it. And wanted to put fresh stuff in.
