OK.. i was about to bleed my brakes but found the rear brakes have 2 nipples on each caliper.. which one do i use to bleed?? and whats the other one for?

oh.. and i have a jdm s5 turbo

thanks

Use the highest of the two (because air rises to the highest point).

Why are there two nipples?
I'd guess because that way they can use the same casting for either side and there would be a nipple at the high point no matter the orientation...but that's just speculation.

 

well i ended up bleeding both and found the bottom one had more air coming out of it than the top one??

so now im very confused...

i also bled my whole system till no air was coming out of any nipples!

but now i have a new problem!!!
my rear caliper is leaking!! i see fluid from somewhere there!!

any help?

I would say that a leaking caliper means new caliper I just had mine replaced on my FB at Midas for $200 or so. I just had the brakes done at a regular mechanic, then a couple months later, my caliper crapped out on me. Don't run on it if you want your pads to last more than a couple months.

 

lol. When I saw the title to this thread I thought it said:

Brake! Nipples!

lol.

 

the other one is only used uf it had ben rebuilt
