You should start with the outside nipple first. If you do the inside first, then when you go to the outside nipple, any air bubbles entering the caliper may find their way into the inside puck cavity. Then you'll have to revisit the inside again.

Weren't you concerned about tripping the proportioning valve shuttle?

What happens if the bleed just doesn't work on the back? I changed all calipers and started in the rear but was unable to get any fluid out when I bled. I moved over to the front and they bled just fine. I checked the lines by removing them and they were clear. The master cylinder was at the same level after the rear attempts, and the brake lines are new. Could the vacuum be of any consequence?

Does the front of the vehicle have to be higher than the rear when you start out on the passenger rear and then move to the driver rear? Thank you

[@TheKidAustin09]

Yes

[@Argyle302]

That's an important step that they left out.

No mention of the Brake Proportion Valve. To properly Bleed C3 Brakes you need to install a "Brake Proportion Valve tool" if you don't you're just wasting your time.

I hate youtube to diagnose car problems. These guys go against everything it states in the chassis service manuals. It's frustrating.
