bleeding brembos

does anyone know if it matters whether you bleed the inner or outer bleed valve first? the service manual makes no reference to the two valves on the brembo calipers

pics for reference:

Are you sure there's no mention of it? Are you looking in the correct section? I swear I looked this up for someone. Give me a minute to boot my laptop and find it.

i've read through it a bunch

it just refers you to BR-9 (or 10, can't remember), which is just a generic how to

BR-10, doesnt say, I dont think it really matters since it comes from the same source. I've done it many times...

Bleed air in the following order. Right rear brake → Left
front brake → Left rear brake → Right front brake
1. Connect a transparent vinyl tube to air bleeder.
2. Fully depress brake pedal several times.
3. With brake pedal depressed, open air bleeder to release air.
4. Close air bleeder.
5. Release brake pedal slowly.
6. Repeat steps 2, through 5, until clear brake fluid comes out
of air bleeder

yeah i don't think it really matters either, just curious

i guess i'll just do the inners and then the outers

either that or maybe i'll call my dealership and see what the techs do there

Right Rear

Incorrect, do it in the order that G35 Mass listed doing inner first then the outer bleeder.
