thanks FK, yeah I am abit puzzled on the which side to do first and front to rear. Toyota service method though I think is not based on a power bleeder, at least the one in print ive seen, seems to be based on person using brake pedal and the open and close method on the bleeder.
As for going to DOT 4 I was worried there may be mixing issues with that and Toyota Dot 3... ive read a few places that say you can mix them and a few places that say you cant..
Hence me being puzzled and wanting to know before I start.
Thanks on the impact no go, Ive got some bad corrosion on this truck in some places and have had to drill out some M8s a few times. I dont want to have to do this with the bleeders.
