Advice on bleeding 4ws

General Discussion

Hey guys,

What is the best (simplier) way how to bleed 4ws at the rear end?

I’m finishing off refurb/rebuild of the rear subframe with all 4ws bits on it and bleeding will be needed. I know there is the correct way as described in FSM but it scares me to say the least and might be a bit sketchy doing it on just jack stands in a small garage…

So I was wondering if there is a simplier method that’s been proven to work?

Thanks

Thanks bud, got all the service manuals.

Quick update - decided to overcome all my fears and do it as per the service manual. Surprisingly was easier than I anticipated. One thing that helped me, and that’s not mentioned in the manual, is perform all the procedures with the wheels off. Not only makes the process less scary but provides clearer access to the bleeding screws. Obvioisly some extra measures needed to be taken to make sure the jacks have backups in case of failure.

So for the first time today I saw how the rear wheels turn :slight_smile:
