Bleeding Brakes

I just replaced the front brake pads, rotors, and brake lines on my truck. I did touch the rear brakes.
Do I still need to bleed the rear brakes or can I just bleed the front brakes?

You will probably get away with just bleeding the front (pass side first).

Thanks for the reply. I just bleed the front and it worked good.

Proper sequence is right rear, left rear, RABS module (if fitted), right front, left front.

Brake Bleeding

It is always a good idea to bleed the whole system anytime you do break into a closed system.Brake fluid degrades and absorbes impurities and is easy enough to replace with new at these times.Like my Momma used to say"Better safe than sorry".
