Just had the AP brake kit delivered (front kit and rear callipers) is there any trick to bleeding the brakes? order to do it in etc.

Used to bleeding brakes in our race cars but want to get the pedal as good as possible in the CSL.

Would have thought it would be the same as in the race cars? I always start at the farthest from the Master Cylinder and work towards it. I also always use way more fluid than needed just to make sure I get all the old crap out!! lol

As said furthest caliper first, calipers have 2 nipples, bleed the inside first then the outside one.

Then if you are really fussy once system is all installed leave the brake pedal depressed for 24 hours, hold it down with a pole or something. This will force every little bit of air back out along the lines to the reservoir.
