Bleeding 06 brake lines
I changed pads and rotors today, but made the mistake of crecking the bleeder when pushing the piston back in on the caliper. What is the best way to bleed the lines? Are there any special tools required?

have someone push the brake pedal 10 times, then hold pressure on the pedal. you crack the bleader fitting at the caliper and let out any air and a short burst of fluid. do this a couple times and the pedal should start getting harder to push. when it dont go to the floor, your done. might have to do each wheel before the pressure gets good.

when you loosen the fitting, the guy in the seat will have the pedal go to the floor. tighten the caliper fitting before he lifts his foot and sucks air back into the line. then let him pump up 10 times, and hold the pedal for pressure.
