89 911 brake bleeding

[robertmark]

Has anyone ever bled their brakes through the Fuchs without removing the wheels? Thanks guys

Not me.

i have from the backside of the wheel. not sure there's enough room to turn a wrench through the wheel opening.

Don't be lazy. Jack the car up, remove the wheel and flush the brake fluid the correct way.
Seriously, you will spend more time messing around with trying to get inside the wheel housing, fidgeting with snaking the bleeder hose onto the caliper, you will wish you just did it the right way.
But if you must, have at it...

Why would G50 owners need to pinch off their clutch line? I the reservoir was filled during the process, why is that needed?

If using a pressure bleeder, have to pinch off the reservoir vent. Not clutch line that I know of.

Are you aware of the damage that brake fluid will do the finish on your Fuchs?

jlex, I think what DRACO meant was the reservoir vent tube.
