    heya guys......i'm not a pro....therefore bleeding the brakes on the 348 has not turned out to be as easy as squeezing any straight forward nipple...... ;-) (no puns intended!)

    i have been using this Ferrari 348 and other threads on this forum as reference points and there are a few methods advised...... i intend to do the normal 2 person bleed (RE: FATBILLYBOB),
    i actually tried this method, but with the ignition off (i forgot!) and now i have no pressure at all!!! the pedal just goes all the way in and the brakes hardly bite..... where did i go wrong....i was also told not to pump the pedals too much as this might cause the seal on the master pump to get "inverted" or something and get screwed up....true?

    i also think that the advise by FATBILLYBOB http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/technical-q/53789-348-brake-issues.html is the easiest to do and understand....if you're reading this, could i ask and clarify something....
    1st-is it imperative that both nipples on the callipers are bled ? or just the outer one?


    based on the link above, i need to know where the nipple for the master pump is located....could someone please show me a photo of it.......thanks in advance to everyone

    The 348 does not have any bleed nipples for the master cylinder. You have to do a dead head trick.
