Default Brake Bleeding Sequence

Hi All,

I searched but couldn't find the information... I just want to double check.

I just purchased new rotors and pads for all four corners. I also picked up both front calipers as one of mine is sticking. I plan on flushing all the brake fluid out while I swap everything. What is the bleeding sequence for our trucks? Rear passenger --> rear driver --> front passenger --> front driver? Does this sound correct? I have an 06 f150 5.4L

Thanks,

Corey

Also, last time I did the fronts I pulled off one of the rotors and there was a bearing connected to the rotor. It was stuck on there pretty good but my new rotors did not have this bearing built in so I assume it can come off. Any tips? My rotors were fine back then so I didn't think about it much but now I need to swap them.

FYI, my truck is 4x4.

yes thats the right bleeding sequence. the bearing shouldn't have come off with the rotor on a 4x4, but yes the rotor sometimes gets seized on and needs to be knocked off.

whatever you do do not push the brake pedal all the way to the floor unless you want to put a master in

Thanks. I did give the bearing a few light wacks with a rubber mallet but didn't want to damage it. I will try more this time. Maybe come up with some sort of "press" to get it out with even pressure.

Won't be neccessary... I have a Motive Power Bleeder. Good advice though.

Sequence is correct. You do the wheels the futherest from the master cyl. and so on
