ghostymosty Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Do NOT use a reverse (1 man) brake bleeder kit on the rear brakes!!! Just connect a hose to the bleeder fittings on the calipers and put it in a jar to collect brake fluid, under the level of a small amount of brake fluid you put in the jar to start with. You should use a second person to work the brake pedal (the master cyl is electronically operated by the pedal rather than with a push rod) while the ignition switch is on but engine not running. No fluid flows to the rear unless the pedal is pushed while the ign switch is on. Make sure you don't run the reservoir out of brake fluid.

Guest My TC Toy Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 If you're replacing the rear pads, make sure you adjust the pads using the small allan screw located below the plug in each caliper. Check rear disc brakes section in your service manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Isaac Hugo Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Hello. What is the sequence for bleeding the brakes on an 89 tc? Is it left rear first, or front right first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
