Nissan Repair: 1997 NISSAN PICK-UP, bleeder screw, rotars


Question
I have a 97 pick-up, XE, 5-speed. I just replaced front calipers , rotars, and pads. Is there a sequence to follow to bleed the entire system?andwat about the bleeder over the axel and on the side near the passenger door, how do they come into play. I also notice an electrical plug near the side bleeder, do I need to unplug that before bleeding the system? Thanks

Answer
Martin,

I suspect yours has ABS?  If so and if not it really does not matter.  Just start with the back passenger side since that is the farthest from the master cylinder.  Get someone to pump the brakes and hold while you crack the bleeder screw.  Close the screw before they let off.  Repeat the process until clean brake fluid comes out.  Now, keep the master cylinder full so air does not enter.  If it does you have to start all over.  Now, do the other rear wheel the same way.  And, then do each front wheel.
