Default Easiest brake bleeding ever.

Just bled the brakes using this procedure: https://www.aulro.com/afvb/discovery...akes-solo.html

Easiest brake bleed ever!

Took about 1 quart of brake fluid to flush out completely.

very clever! Next go around I will definitely try this approach instead of paying my neighbor in beer to pump the brake pedal.

That procedure lists the wrong bleed order. It goes RR, lr, rf, lf,
the rave is wrong

Of course, start farthest from the master cylinder and work your way to closest.

I hate to pee on your parade guys but this 'solution' has been around for many years avec the same problems, however, there is one big intrinsic problem with it, it activates the the modulator pump OK but doesn't activate the shuttle valves in sequence if at all. If you search back in the forum some years ago there was copious discussion about the subject.
