Does anyone know what the pattern is for the brake bleeding on a GP TJET 2009. I know rule of thumb is meant to be start w8th furthest away from master cylinder. But in my haynes manual for GP it appears to be opposite of this rule. ( granted haynes manual is nit for tjet models but still thought would be fairly similar) any ideas?

I think that just applies if the system is completely empty.

In your case your not emptying it then filling, you're just topping it and then pushing the fluid though to each caliper until the fluid looks clean(er).

So really as long as you get fluid coming out of each caliper it's not going to make much difference.

I await to be corrected but i've done a push throughs on my car and my dads van, sometime just doing front or rear only and the pedals are rock solid.

Do you have to do it on a level surface?. As I'm not a fan of jacking my car up onto to all fours. So I was looking more to do back and then do front separately? Is there.any.problems to this?
 
Order doesn't really matter as stated above, I've made one man bleeders and they've not worked out so well. Draper one man makes it an hour job including jacking and removing wheels. Once you see clear fluid coming out the caliper into tube, you're done that corner. Only open nipple just enough otherwise you risk pulling within through the threads between nipple and caliper.

Trick of the day:

- undo the nipple JUST as to have the fluid (and air) going out
- 'seal' it with FAT grease, I use plumbing paste, at nipple to caliper junction

Works very well with a cheap (12€ @ Auto5) one man bleeding kit !

Hi Emerson, don't worry about the leveling, will not affect the bleeding process, unless the car is upside-down ;-)

Hey guys just uploading some pics of discs and pad change I did. Wasn't too bad at all. If anyone has ant questions etc feel free to message me as it's pretty fresh
 
Pagid pads are very good and my favourite choice.
Pagid discs are also excellent.
If you need to save £s use pagid pads and use cheaper discs.
I stay away from mintex.
Recently (2000 miles ago) fitted Delphi pads and they are ok but wish had used pagid.
fitted genuine ATE pads to friends classic BMW because they were ridiculously cheap and they are excellent.
Ferodo also good.
Hey jack just letting you know I probably should of gone with your suggestion. I bought delphi discs and.pads in end. Now they worm great but became annoying to look at quite quick. Rust spots form very easy on discs. Next batch I'll defo try pagid and go from there. But.live and learn and feel.i can aid anyone looking into delphi brand.
lmao lol.

Quick one and more of a curious one. When I got my new pads I noticed it only came with two new brake caliper bolts? Why just two surely the full four (2 for each side)
