RE: Milano brakes: the saga continues.

[Chris Piepers <chris@domain.elided>]

Hi,

The other night I was reading a bit in my new Alfetta Workshop Manual,
which I recently bought from http://www.motorbooks.co.uk (not a plug)

When I turned to the chapter on "bleeding the brake system", I had
sort of an eye-opener. The manual (Original Alfa Romeo publication)
stated: "Bleeding should be done on front and rear brakes...
*SIMULTANEOUSLY*. The bleeding valves should be closed in the following
order: front, inner aft, outer aft. They advise to start on the RH side
of the car.

I never did it this way, but am sure gonna try it.

(Although it's for the Alfetta Sedan, the (non-ABS?) Milanos have the
same braking layout)

Hope this helps,
