Hmmm...i decided to paint my calipers and so far i have the front ones done, but when i disconnected the brake line lots of fluid came out obviously. I didnt think it was a big deal because ive bled brakes before. But now that they are all painted and on im having a huge problem getting the air out!!! Anybody else have this problem before?????

thanks a lot!

I did a brake job in july, and flushed the system completely. It takes about 26oz of fluid to fill a completely empty system.

Make sure to follow the proper bleeding sequence.

Bleed the passenger rear first, driver rear second, then passenger front, followed by driver front.
