ok 1) I had removed the rear calipers and master cylinder and all the brake parts under the hood while i had it painted and swapped in the new rear end. I connected everything back up and filled the res with new fluid, opened the rear bleeder valve and proceeded to bleed it and i pumped on the pedal, it had pressure but it didn't bleed anything, the fluid stayed at the same level. Whats going on here? is there some other valve for the rear brakes im missing here or what?

2) the differential fluid for the LSD is 90 weight right?

3)Im gonna clean up my cpu wiring by taking apart the wiring harness and sorting out the stuff i don't need, what wires/connections will i need to keep that are not plugged in?

4) how many An- 90/45 degree angle fittings did u guys use on your fuel system?

5) where can i purchase those huge universal intakes that i see on eveyones turbos here, and what size will i need for a stock s5/s4 turbos.

6) thxs for your anwsers in advanced!

1. Once you've gone that far (replacing brake fluid in the master, and the calipers, this can be an exercise in frustration... I assume you've benchbled the master cylinder before hooking up your lines. What I had to do was use a vacuum bleeder to get the fluid down the rear brake line, then I could use the pump method to finish the bleeding (I'm not a big fan of vacuum bleeding, I can never really tell when I have all the air out)..

2. Yes 75w90

3. I have no idea what you don't have plugged in, so how the heck am I supposed to know

4, 5.

6. You're welcome

How do you bench bleed?

Technically you're supposed to do this before you install the master cylinder, but you can still do it now.

Go to the auto parts store, and get a set of Metric bench bleeder fittings, and some rubber plugs from the home supply store that will fit tightly in the other two fittings.

Remove your brake lines, and install your bleeder fitting, and two plugs. Route the rubber line from the bleeder fitting up to the reseviour.. You're basically looping the fluid to get air out.. Pump the brakes until you see no more air bubbles. Repeat for the other two fittings.

Then install your brake lines, and try to bleed. Honestly though, you'll probably need a vacuum bleeder for this, now that the lines are totally empty. I got mine from Eastwood, but check the autoparts stores, they'll know what you mean and should be able to point you to a place that sells this. Basically, you just need something that can generate vacuum for you to pull the fluid down into the line.

Once you get fluid out, bleed normally.
