bleeding brakes
!995 f350 power stroke diesel srw 4x4 . What is the proper way to flush all the brake fluid from my truck? I do have a Mity vac. brake bleeding system. It uses my air compressor to make vacuum to pull out the old fluid tru the bleeder screws. I know to start bleeding the fluid & air from the farthest [r rear ] then the L rear what i,m not sure of is the next one to bleed [ the anti lock valve] & then the R front & then the L front? I guess I could go to a brake repair place & ask the questions But I thought other folks on this site could benefit from my questions. Thanking you friskyjake

I have one of these Ford Three Tab Brake Bleeder 0107 and it works awesome. I have to try gravity bleeding, too. I never had a good experience with a vacuum setup.

brake bleeding
Ok so if I have let all the fluid out of the system with all the bleed screws now tight I then fill the master cly. & start the bleeding all over again in the proper order. My concern is if the rabs [anti lock]. if it has internally moved how do you get back to center or where ever it has to be. If it is out of whack won,t it also cause a lite to be active on the dash. Thanks again every one. friskyjake

i use the vehicle behind me to test the brake lights.
if they don't hit me, the lights are working.
actually, i usually park close enough to something when i back in that i can see the brake light lit when parking, and also in the am when leaving.

Are we talking about a brake bleeding on a truck with rabs or a non rabs. [anti rear brake lock]. up? No one answers about that extra valve. I,m sure it will shuttle inside the valve. If not ok but my concern is if it does move how do you make it rite again Thank you again for your ideas. Friskyjake

my 02 still has abs in it, i don't know if it works though. same with the 04.
both of them blew rear lines and bled out. i replaced the lines, cracked open the bleeders and filled the master up with no lights on the dash
