with the autozone cheapo brake grease. and since im planning to totally overhaul my brakes soon, which includes replacing the slider pins and bushings, i figured i'd use the factory lube as well.
new bushings waiting to go on:

usually split it.

bleeder. 20 psi is way too much pressure for the resevior. I've read of several that split above 15 psi.
I am at a loss if neither pressure on the res side nor vacuum on the bleeder side gets past the master cylinder though. You could try it with the key on in case the ABS is somehow prevent flow .. though, IIRC, according to the Bentley's only ESP requires ABS involvement.

yeah i've used one, i own one

first, dont go above 12psi.

you dont need to worry about ABS unless you have ESP.

what i did:

put a 2x4 under the pedal, with the ignition off, press the pedal down and use a dowel rod to hold the pedal down. if you are bleeding the clutch, use another dowel rod to hold the pedal UP.

i used a industrial syringe from mcmaster to suck out as much fluid in the resevoir as possible. then, top off the resevoir with new fluid. then attach the power bleeder and pump to a max of 12psi.

attach bleed hose to brake caliper and open the bleeder. try tapping on the bleeder nipple.

I've read of several that split above 15 psi. I am at a loss if neither pressure on the res side nor vacuum on the bleeder side gets past the master cylinder though.
