Where do you turn the bleeder bolt on a car?
Turn the bleeder bolt to the left one quarter-turn. Old fluid and air will go down the tubing into the bottle. You will be able to see the trickle down the line and into the jar. Note: Warn your helper that the brake pedal they are pressing down will sink down as you unlock the bleeder bolt a quarter turn.
What to do if you bleed all the brakes?
If your bleeding all the brakes, start with the brake line that’s furthest from the brake fluid reservoir. That’ll be the right hand rear wheel on most cars. If your car or truck has one brake line feeding both rear wheels, you’ll need to bleed both of these first before moving to the passenger side front (next closest).
When do you close the bleeder valve on a car?

How often do you need to clear the bleeder line?
It can take up to 8 or 10 cycles to fully clear the line, especially for the further away tires. Repeat this process until new, clear fluid comes from the bleeder tube. After every 5 or 6 times through the cycle, top off the master cylinder reservoir with fresh fluid.
