Bleeding Brakes
The Shop Manual says that only on Vettes, you start with the left (driver) side then the right (pass) side. Is this true or a misprint? I never used the gravity feed method. Do you open just one bleeder at a time, same as the pump method and about how long does one bleeder finish dripping (minutes or hours)?

Re: Bleeding Brakes (mvftw)
I typically start with the wheel farthest from the master cylinder (i.e. rear passenger side) and work my way to the driver's side, front.
Do yourself a favor, don't mess with the gravity bleed. Go to my web page and look at the step by step. If you follow my method, you'll have the best feeling brakes around. This method is fool proof.
E-mail me if you have questions.
