You probably know more about this than I do, been a long time since I've done a brake job. My recollection is that you start with the bleed screw furthest from the master cylinder and work your way closer. For me, it was always a two person job: one to pump the pedal, one to bleed the air out and close off the bleed screw when done. Please forgive if you already know all this stuff, sounds like you already have done this many times.

I always used a clear hose (tubing) going from the bleeder valve into a glass half full of brake fluid. Loosen bleed valve. As pedal pumped by your long suffering assistant, you watch for air bubbles in the liquid. When no more air bubbles, hold the pedal down and tighten the bleeder valve. Remove tubing. Yes, did it with wheels off the car (and no, I haven't done it on my SLK).

32krazy!

When you post your costs, could you show the cost of the stainless steel lines? That sounds like a really worthwhile upgrade while doing the brakes.

Thanks. --Larry
