Default 2001 C5 Coupe Brake Bleed Order

Hi All,

Wondering what the correct bleed order is?

What does this depend on again distance from master cylinder?

Correct me if wrong but I believe it's start with the one close to the master cylinder and work to the farthest.

Check #6 Here: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-t...eed-order.html

It appears to make a difference according to year.

Correct order is farthest first, so
A: Right (passenger) rear
B: Left (drivers) rear
C: Right (passenger) front
D: Left (drivers) front

I know you don't do the procedure like an older car because of the anti-loc brakes.
It is also different on the years because of location of the anti-loc unit.

So is this correct for a 2001 based on the abs location?

When you say left that's the drivers side right?

Bleed sequences. . . . .


97 - 00 RR LR RF LF

01 - 04 RR LF LR RF

And if I have to explain what's Left and Right you probably shouldn't be bleeding your own brakes anyway.
