Air in Brakes!!!! How to Bleed them?
I had to replace my front caliper due to it locking up. I bought 2 new ones and did both on the front. I bleed the brakes, but seem to still have some air in them.
What is the correct brake bleed order? I started with the right rear, the left rear, then right front then left front. Is that correct?
Thanks

thats correct when you replaced the front calipers did the bleeder screw end up on top they will fit either way ,its a common mistake.

You went in the right order... sometimes though it just takes several times to get them... well that is what I have found personally. How did the rubber lines going into the calipers look? I have seen it where they went bad and would actually bulge when the brakes were applied.

older xj brake never fell perfect because of the single diap booster make sure the rears are adjusted that will give a higher pedal ...
