Changing brake fluid?

[91Bomb]

I'm going to change my passenger side rear caliper since it's sticking and figured now would be a good time to change the fluid and bleed all brakes. I seen a video on youtube and the guys said to 1st siphon all the fluid out of the master cylinder and then start bleeding each brake starting with the furthest brake from MC ending with the closet brake to MC. Is that the correct way to do it?

honestly its alot easier to change out the fluid one line at a time. you crack open the caliper bleeder furthest from the master cylinder and bleed it like normal. once you see new fluid coming out then move to the driver rear, then the front passenger and then the front driver.. once your done go back and give each one another bleed cycle and you should be good. I would replace the rubber flex lines while your at it. they tent to break apart inside and cause sticky calipers. if you do that it will probably be the last time you have to bleed your brakes for the lifetime of the car.

btw.. how did you diagnose a sticky caliper. did you crack open the actual brake line for that caliper and try pressing the piston in. if it moves freely then its not the caliper its the rubber line like i said above acting like a one way valve. allowing fluid to go into the caliper and not back out.

Maybe I'll just bleed the caliper I'm changing since the brake fluid in master cylinder looks real clean since I changed all brake pads within past 2 mths and bled them..
