brake bleed attempt with questions
So i been thinking i have had issues with my brakes. so i had to rotate the tires because of a oil change so figure i would check the brake fluid. So i looked up and that you have to turn the ignition on, then bleed from Right rear then left rear then Front Right then front Left. Well the back went well the fluid came out like a dark green. when i got to the front right the fluid wasn’t coming out constantly like the back brakes. it was like spurts with air bubbles. is that normal for the front? or should it have been constant stream? also how free do the wheels spin in neutral when all the wheels are off the ground. it seems like that middle drive shaft doesnt allow them to spin that good. is that normal?

Got no idea what you looked up, but the brakes feed from the same brake fluid reservoir so when you drain out a bunch from one or two, there will not be much left to be draining from the rest, you are just cleaning out the line.

If what you mean is the rear brake the fluid came out as long as you held pressure on the brake pedal (the pump kept pumping), while the front brakes the pedal went to the floor and you had to close the bleeder to pump up pressure again, then yes, that was my experience.
Can't comment about the air, but if you didn't close the bleeder before you picked up your foot, maybe you sucked air back in?
Reread Doc's message, and yes, I found that the reservoir level decreased at a faster rate than I had anticipated. Be sure to keep an eye on that as you bleed.
