Could anybody with a Nissan manual tell me if there are any special bleeding requirements, such as:

1. Do you need a scan tool to tell the ABS?

2. RR,LR,RF,LF or ?

3. Level or tilt the chassis?

Thanks in advance!

Here's what the book says:

Bleeding Brake System EFS003O4
CAUTION:
While bleeding, pay attention to master cylinder fluid level.
1. Turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector or battery
negative cable.
2. Connect a vinyl tube to the rear right bleed valve.
3. Fully depress brake pedal 4 to 5 times.
4. With brake pedal depressed, loosen bleed valve to let the air out, and then tighten it immediately.
5. Repeat steps 3, 4 until no more air comes out.
6. Tighten bleed valve to the specified torque. 69 ft lbs.
7. Repeat steps 2 through 6, with master cylinder reservoir tank filled at least half way, bleeding air in order
from the front left, rear left, and front right bleed valves.

Hope this helps.

Note: Torque in step 6 should be in/lbs, not ft/lbs.

Thanks for the post!
