Bullitt brake install questions

as far as bleeding goes, it would be much easier with the speed bleeders or one-man bleeder tool but if you're doing it without:

attach a clear hose to the bleeder screw. have a friend apply pressure to the brake pedal then open the bleeder screw. close the screw when fluid flow slows and have your friend release the pedal *make sure he doesn't release the pedal until you close the screw*. repeat the process until there are no more bubbles in the hose.

you will probably have to bleed the m/c too so don't freak out if the pedal isn't firm after you finish the calipers

You can do it alone. I've bled my brakes alone on every car I own..no speed bleeders either. I do it yearly, and have not had a problem.

All i do is attach a hose, put it into the bottle, crack a bleeder and then get inside the car and pump the pedal. I get out and make sure i don't run the MC dry. Between each stroke, the MC draw fluid from the path of least resistance...which is the reseviour. So you don't need to close the bleeder between each stroke. The fluid doesn't draw back into the caliper. When i'm satisfied, i get out and close the bleeder.

I've done this to my '03 GT abour 4 times, my fox recently when i installed cobra brakes all around and on my G35 twice. It's quick as hell to just crack the bleeder, and pump away. Takes longer to take the wheels off. I bleed the brakes on my cars yearly as part of my maintainence routine...that's why the frequent bleeds

its not a bad idea to do all four corners especially if the brakes have never been bled before. like i said before i bleed yearly and always notice better pedal feel. however when i did my brake upgrade i only did the fronts. make sure you bleed the master cylinder too. the rear screw is the front brakes.
