I think I must bleed my brake system.

Can anyone tell me how to bleed it.

I have a Forenza.

Must I bleed all the for wheels or only the front calipers.

Thanx

i don't see why you need to do that? the only way for air to get into your system is when the line is open (during flush job or due to a broken pipe or so) and other than that it is not necessary at all.

I dont htink thats true.. all race cars (not street driven) the owners bleed the brakes after every race day.. or at least weekend.. so air/water must get in there or osmething
