Bleeding Entire Brake System
Hello, have had several vettes always done all my own work. Most questions Ive had I have found here thanks to all of you.
My latest Im working on is 1988 C-4 I made all new bubble ended stainless brake lines from the Master Cylinder, Front Supply and Rear Supply that all converge at the Master Modulator behind / beneath the drivers seat 5 - Lines in all to Modulator 9 lines (Includung fuel vent) total not including flexible caliper feeders. I have read several "threads" on bleeding "sequence" ( LR / RF/ RR / LF ) etc..
Here are my question ( s ) ;
1. Bleed with car running or not ?
2. Do I have to "bleed or anything" the MODULATOR UNIT ?
3. What is the proper sequence for sure ?
Any Tips / Tricks or Experiences would be appreciated.
Very Best Regards, R. Davis

2. You do not have to bleed the modulator unit.
3. I just flushed my brake system on my 86 and I always start with the r/r, l/r, r/f and l/f.
On my 86 it is a lot easier if you remove the rear tires the front are no problems. Hope this helps.
