Default Wilwood disc brake rebuild?

Hi, folks.

The maintenance just never stops, does it? Now that I have all the suspension bushings replaced I want to rebuild the Wilwood disc brake calipers. Has anyone ever done this sort of thing?

I am just curious about problem issues to expect, how difficult it was to accomplish, that sort of thing.

I was aghast when I pulled the top off the master cylinder and found both reservoirs to be dry, have been noticing some diminishment in braking for some time now, I guess I figured out why.

I will bleed the brakes....no problems with that, although I recently saw something that confused me. When I bleed brakes, I always start with the one most distant from the master cylinder, then the next most distant, then the next most distant, and finally the one closest. That always means RR, then LR, then RF, and finally LF. Does everyone else follow this sequence, or was there a memo from Mechanics Central that I did not get?

Thanks in advance for whatever advice you can provide!

Cheers!

Dugly
