Do Nismo calipers have two bleeders?
Ok, I feel like the dumbest guy in the world, I was reading about my brakes... I have replaced the fluid twice... and I saw talk of inner and outer bleeders. It is night time now so I am not going to go look, but do these cars have inside and outside bleeders on the calipers? I have a 2019 Nismo.
I have only been bleeding the outside bleeder. If they have two, I guess I need to bleed them again!! |

Yes you have 2 bleeders on each caliper. To bleed, you have to do the inside one first. Then the outside one.

I was just reading this, Step 11 states OUTER first, then inner.

Dang!!! I guess I have to bleed again. What a bummer. But it will be nice to see all that old fluid coming out of the back bleeders that have never been bled.

Also, the web does not have a definitive answer. By the sounds of things...it doesn't matter. I think it's debated more than "which oil should I use" I've actually tried to picture the hydraulic circuit of our calipers in my head, trying to figure out why it matters. I/m not computing anything. Willwood says outer then inner on manual method: https://shop.wilwood.com/blogs/news/...r-brake-system again for reference, not trying to prove a point.

I used power bleeder. Switched between Inner and outer. Didn't see bubbles get induced into the other.
so, didn't make a difference.
