I own a '88 911 3.2 and will be using a motive power bleeder.

1. Suck out most of the fluid from the master cylinder.

2. Top up the master cylinder with fresh brake fluid. I always alternate between blue and gold fluid so that i know when the new fluid hits the bleed port.

This is where i depart from the usual process for motive bleeding. I don't fill the bleeder. I overfill the master cylinder instead. This is to keep the power bleeder clean and free of old fluid.

3. Pressurize the system to 10psi.

4. Starting from the passenger rear wheel, attach a clear hose to the bleed port, open the bleed port and bleed into a waste container.

5. Check the master cylinder and top up with more fluid if required.

6. Move on to next wheel.

7. Once finished bleeding all four wheels, i top up the master cylinder and close it up.

8. Open beer and pat myself on the back.

From what i recall, i didn't remove the wheels to do this. I could access the port by reaching behind the wheel. Am i mis-remembering? Any critiques on my procedure? I think it's been at least 10 years since i've done this and my memory is not what it was.
