Brake Bleeding Questions

Still trying to finish the hub seal replacement ordeal.

I start at the wheel farthest away from the MC (passenger side rear), right?

Do I need to do the fronts if I didn't disturb them? The front and the rears are two totally seperate circuits, right?

I need to get this done before the weekend, supposed to have a major snow event here. :shock:

Bleed all of them till clean fluid comes out with no air bubbles, start with furthest from master and work your way to the left front.
Make sure the brake shoes are adjusted properly: tighten till drum is locked and back off 3 clicks, on center axle back off 4 clicks :wink:

Finally done with this job. Went easy except the fronts. I would have paid $50 for that dumb tool about then. Just couldn't figure out an easy way to get to the bleeders with a hose on them.

Test drive went well, no pulling.
