    This thread is for reference; so I can find it later under a properly named title. I know there is a thread on scoobymods too, so here's the link:

    1. Right Front
    2. Left Rear
    3. Left Front
    4. Right Rear

    WJM gave me this order, and it worked.

    Some people say it doesn't matter, some people say just go diagonally, some people say "why don't you have a turbo?"

    It really does matter. I trust WJM and he knows his $hit.

    I agree.

    If (in some alternate dimension) Will was doing it incorrectly I think we would have heard about people with brake problems by now.

    For STi use: outside then inside nipples. If lines are added, replace all 4 lines, then bleed as usual. Keep master cylinder cap on while changing lines, but watch fluid level.

    Do not use old fluid.

    Speed Bleeders rule.

    Believe it or not, its in the Subaru Service Manual. We actually have it stickied in the Tutorial section. Go to chasis, brake, then the page number is BR44. Subaru Service Technician's read the manual, I hope... 99% of the questions about your car can be answered there. It just takes a little bit of time learning how to use it, because certain parts are grouped in larger categories.

    No, most techs dont read the manual. The good ones do tho.

    doesn't matter, it's still plumbed the same way with reference to the master cylinder/ABS :)

    What is the reasoning behind this? I never heard of bleeding brakes in any particular order.
