Subject: [928] Best Way To Bleed

Hi folks.

Thanks for the advice on brake bleeding sequence.  Before I got any
responses from my post to this list, I called Kim John Crumb to ask the
same question. (He is listed in Pano as the 928 Tech expert.  See the
July 99 issue for a detailed explanation of Porsche braking improvement
techniques he has applied to his racing 928 GT.)  He called back within
an hour of my call, and he was very cordial.  Anyway, his advice was to
bleed right rear first, then left rear, right front, left front and
finally clutch slave.

He also suggested that I delay bleeding until I get a Speed Bleeder or
similar device, because pressing the brake pedal all the way to the
floor repeatedly during bleeding creates unusual stresses on the master
cylinder and booster.  This is because they are not designed to be
pressed all the way to the floor.
