bump....i had to bleed my fronts but im not to sure about the back....if it was me i would do it and put more fluid in.

well, if I understand correctly, yes it is okay to only do 2 wheels at a time. I know many people who do. but not me

well, i went a head and bled just the rears..still feels like the pedal is a lil spongier than before..maybe thats cause the front brakes are half gone and the rear are new??seems to be braking fine tho..i might change the front pads even tho they prob got another 5000 miles or more..

The rear brakes normally outlast the fronts 2 to 1 sometimes 3 times but my question is why did you bleed the breaks if you never opened up the lines you shoudnt have had issue...

i did open the lines..at least i took off the brake line from the caliper..all my c-clamps were to small so i wasnt able to get that piston in to get the pads out..im in the process of moving so my haynes book is packed up, doh!!
