1990 535i Brake Bleeding nightmare

[xtmsports]

Thanks for the procedure Bill. One question, during the 12 pumps, do I leave the engine on or off?

Thanks

furthest point and bleed first , typically the right rear wheel, then left rear then right front then left front. This should pretty much cover everything if you have any other questions let me know.

Bill.... it is possible to bleed the ABS if air gets into there with standarb bleeding procedure????

Call me dumbass with this then. I HATE people giving false information and I have been the king lately if this is true.

Bill, I tried Bruno's pressure bleeder and followed the instructions you supplied.
All the wheels were fine except for the front driver caliper. Even though my wife stepped on the pedal 12 times with the bleeder open, it had a diffucult time coming out. Does that mean i need a new hose for the front driver caliper?

Since it was coming out slow, I had my wife pump the brake 5 times and then held it down with some force, then I opened up the bleeder screw and brake fluid was forced through. I did this about 4-5 times. But I still feel a little bit of grabbing coming from the front driver caliper.

Would you suggest that i need a new front driver brake hose?

try swapping the 2 front bleeder valves in case its a bad bleeder valve not letting the fluid out. If after you swap it then i would suspect a brake hose next.
