Brembo brake bleeding
 
So , do you need to do both the calliper nipples on each calliper or just the outside one , i don’t want to break a nipple if I don’t need to open it , i did one car with brembos all round and just did the outer nipple and it’s fine , but not sure if that’s all the fluid out as I can’t see how the callipers are joined together and have a brake fluid galley between both the sides of the calliper , cheers in advance

Yes inner nipple then outer nipple iirc

Cheers for the reply , I have just done two sets of brembos , but the last car the nipples look a little bit of a mess , the last car has been bled using just the outside nipples , it’s stopping very well, but dilemma , bleed the inner ones too and risk an issue ? Now need to do the v8 AP’s , which have a connecting pipe between both half’s of the calliper so was hoping I did not need to 👍 but I still think I need to

they have 2x sets for a reason.........even with a link pipe which is generally across the lower of the 2x halves then air will rise to the top of that side and "trap" at the bleed nipple so whilst the brakes may still work both your pedal feel and the actual performance may well suffer.......
under extreme use then 'fade' will appear much earlier

No problem , cheers for that , i have re done them all apart from 1 , a bit worried about breaking the nipples as clearly not done for a while , so I have left it soaking in penetrating fluid called SAS , which normally works well , so fingers crossed for today 👍😁 I was hoping logically only one nipple needed doing but clearly not 😂😂
