[Absolut Speed]

I had the coil-overs put in Friday. I put new pads and rotors in over the weekend. Scheduled an alignment and brake flush for today.

Just got a call that the car is too low to get on the alignment rack or even on the hoist to do the brake bleed. I asked how much clearance they were short, explained the coil overs, but the service advisor told me the owner said to park the car and not touch it.

So I start calling around in my smaller city and am having no luck finding someone who can get a car with a lowered stance. GM dealer says he has a hard time with stock vehicles with running boards, so he can't help. Big tire chain says they can't do the brale bleed, and they want $89.99 for a custom alignment.

Being a total newbie to brakes, let me see if I have this right. 

Start with the furthest caliper, bleed it until the ATE Blue comes through.  Then repeat with the next furthest caliper and so on.  All the while, make sure that the master cylinder doesn't run dry, correct?

Everyone in town worried about the ABS and reverse vacuuming the fluid when I called.

When I do mine. I fill the master cylinder, do "11 pumps" of the brake pedal on the rears (that leaves enough to avoid getting air) and I do 5 or 6 pumps on the front and refill. Do the RR, LR, RF and LF. I use ATE super blue and it takes about 3/4 liter to change it all (I have TCS and it has dual lines to the rear).

Have fun!

As long as you don't let it run dry, it will be no problem at all.

I'm headed to Nashville tomorrow for the Mustang weekend (crew cheif for a friends 2 cars). See ya!
