88 Ranger, 2WD, 2.3L
I have replaced both front calipers, both are currently hooked up to the brake line, attached to the rotor with new brake pads. I haven't turned on the engine or pressed the brakes at all.how do I bleed the system when it's two new calipers at once?
part of me says I should turn on the engine and press the brakes to put fluid in the two calipers, then start with one caliper and open the nipple to bleed air out of it, close it off when it's just brake fluid coming out and do the same for the next one. of course constantly topping off the fluid level so it doesn't go dry.
or should I have both nipples open at the same time? a "mechanic" relative also said I need to disconnect one brake line and plug it, and bleed the system on the other caliper, then hook up the next caliper and bleed it.
which is the correct way or easiest way? thanks in advance
