bleeding sequence for sl500 ??

[rupert]

can anyone tell me the sequence for bleeding my brakes as ive just replaced a cailper and a couple of brake pipes? do i need to do bleed the abs?

No sure aout the ABS, but the standard bleeding routine is to start with the longest pipe run first and work progressively to the shortest.

ABS doesn't affect brake bleeding - since its valves will be fully open during the bleeding. If you have ASR, it too has a bleed point. If you have disturbed it, you'll need to remove its cover, then bleed the hydraulic unit while the engine is running. Once air no longer comes out of it, close the bleed valve and allow the engine to run until the its pump stops running (around 30 secs).
