Brake Questions....
 
I ordered a complete set of Power Stop brakes ( Caliper, Bracket, Rotor, Pads and Pins ) for both front which should be a normal swap out as any other brake job Ive done.... Now my question is this..
I want to flush the entire system as I will be adjusting the rear shoes and e-brake so
(1) Do I Bleed/flush the rear lines before I swap out the new calipers on the fronts?
(2) Do I flush each front as I complete it?
(3) Do I need to flush the rear lines again after completing the caliper swaps on the front? ( Im assuming the rear is separate from the front chamber and wont need to )

If done properly it should be Right Rear, Left Rear then Right front and lastly Left front.... am I correct ?
I will be using the 1 man bottle and hose trick and have read not to push the pedal all the way to the floor......so hopefully no issues when my parts get here, picked up new brake fluid and cleaner today, ready to rock it.

Brake bleed sequence is RR, LF, LR, RF.
I know this is contrary to older cars.
You can look this info up if you don't trust me.

^^^ he is right! These are different because of the ABS

did you order the SS 11.6 inch non Brembo kit for the front? New hoses to?

That means the MC is split diagonally.

I ordered the Power Stop stock replacement, not doing anything fancy with the car.

So, should I flush the system with new fluid before installing then just bleed the Calipers after replacing each one ? I think thats the wiser choice imo ?

I would flush it with the old parts in. Don't want to install the new calipers, then flush the old ,dirty fluid thru them.
