two bleeders per caliper?
 
my 02 boxster has 2 bleeders on each caliper. I need to bleed my brakes is there any specific order I need to bleed each caliper? ( inside bleeder than outside, or vice versa?)

General "rule of thumb" is start with bleeder screw furthest away from the master cylinder (outside) 1st.

I raised this question a while back because my sources differed. After trying it both ways I can tell you it doesn't matter. I settled on inside first for consistency's sake.

The important thing is which order you bleed the calipers. Furthest first, closest last, and then the clutch. So, right rear, left rear, right front, left front, clutch.

If you don't have one already, get a Motive Black Label Power Bleeder. You'll be so glad you did - especially for bleeding the clutch.

where is the bleeder for the clutch located? Im sure its on the master cylinder for the clutch but where is that O_o

It's on tne slave cylinder by the clutch. Pedro has an excellent DIY on brake fluid flushing with lots of pics. Check it out.

Oops, I bleed the brakes all the time (+1 for Motiv products), but have yet to bleed the clutch. Thanks for the info guys!
