Push any air out of the line. This is typically done by having one person press the brake pedal while another cracks the bleeder where the oil was dripping from after everything is installed. Then you close the valve before the brake pedal bottoms out on the floor. The person in the car pumps the brakes again and the bleeder gets cracked again allowing air and oil out. Once no air or bubbles are coming out, then the brakes are good to use.
Great except you did not mention the critical item of adjusting the calipers to be very close to the pads. On these vans, too much play causes a soft pedal and excessive travel. You need a tool -Miller Special Tool --#8807- or others or fabricate. These rear pistons do NOT push in they are threaded, so you need to tighten the piston out until there is just a slight rub on the rotor.

Torque figures always appreciated.
Im still waiting for the manual bleeding‼️

Hi i was watching another video that said 35ft/lbs for the banjo bolt. Any idea where i can find the official torque specs online?
When bleeding it do you have to press the breaks or it automatically starts to fill up?
Great video, very helpful!
I got stuck at removing the brake cable
@6:14 while removing the Banjo bolt you said use a 15mm socket but @7:43 you are using an 11mm wrench.

I'm confused on what he means by bleed. I've never worked on cars before but just noticed my caliper was broke
