BLEEDING WILWOOD 4 POTS
Anyone know the correct bleeding procedure on wilwood 4 pot calipers as they have 4 bleed nipples on them
Re: BLEEDING WILWOOD 4 POTS
They are a friggin nightmare. I don't bleed the bottom just both sides of the caliper at the top.

Re: BLEEDING WILWOOD 4 POTS
Wilwood brakes have 4 bleed nipples because they are the same for left and right (what are the top bleed nipples on one side are at the bottom on the other side). No need opening up the bottom ones, just the ones on top. I believe I needed 5 rounds of bleeding before all the air was out (bleed, drive for a bit, bleed again, etc). Not an easy job but that's only required once, after freshly fitting them.
