Is it a real pain in the *** to bleed and change the brake fluid on my 1995 F150?

 

No, just time consuming, I use a vacuum pump.

What is the condition of your rubber flex lines, they are 16 yeas old, are they cracked? Worth checking out before you start.

I believe bleeding order is, RR, LR, RF, LF

Use fresh fluid, previously opened containers attract moisture.

 

If you have 2 people it is cake...

 

yeah, you always start with the farthes brake from master cylinder and work your way in.

 

Start from the nearest and work your way out....think about it.

I have used a one-man bleeding strategy that works very well: Get a 20 foot length of 1/4" OD tygon tubing and a suitable adapter to connect that tubing to a brake bleed port. Open the port about one turn. Run the tubing past the driver's door so you can see what going through the tubing. Route the other end of the tubing into a tin can to catch the fluid. Fill the reservoir with new fluid and leave the cap loose. Push the brake pedal down about half way, then begin pumping back and forth smoothly about half the the total stroke of the pedal. The fluid will run down the tubing and into the can. Pump and add fluid to the reservoir until the fluid runs clean and clear in the tubing. Close the port and move to the next one.

 

Thanks Sharp, Techrep, Delmar, and Kattum for those quick responses. Wish me luck. I'm going in.
