The typical way is to go to the farthest caliper and work forward from there (next farthest, etc.) I can't say for certain how the lines run from the master cylinder so the rear driver may wind up being farther than the rear passenger, but no big deal. Start at the back, work forward to the driver front as the last.


The trick is to try to avoid pushing the brake pedal down too aggressively as it may not be used to full travel. Some folks put a block of wood under to limit travel. Don't let the reservoir go dry - keep it topped up. Don't use old fluid that has been opened prior - get a new bottle, and get the bigger one, not the smaller one. You'll use most of the bigger, will run out of the smaller. I would put the bleed line into a small pool of fluid in the jar/whatever you use to collect fluid to help avoid pulling air back up when the brake pedal is released. I would use a clear jar so you can more accurately determine the color of the fluid coming out. All that fun stuff.

 

always flush one brake line at a time since there are two independents systems. I believe I use right rear, left front & left rear, right front. Works for met. Probably doesn't make that much different. I have the OEM shop manual and will look up what Toyota recommends. Regards

 

Thanks for the info. Just kind of curious, as I changed brake fluid on honda accord 2011 before and it (the service manual) clearly said from front to back as ABS xxxx (don't quite understand what does it mean). And I believe my camry 2006 has ABS as I can see the light on when start the car. I don't have the service manual for my camry, cannot double verify.

BTW, can anyone share a link of camry 06 service manual?

 

Click the THIS link in my signature and read down to the last entry that talks about TIS. There is where you can get your service manual, wire diagram, etc. All for $20.


The ABS is about the ABS system holding some fluid, so in those cases you may not (??) get all the old fluid going back to front. If you get most of the fluid you are good, I wouldn't stress it, but of the FSM says front to back go for that.
