CAMARO6 - View Single Post - Bleeders loosened and caused brake failure on track

I haven't bled mine yet as I don't track it, but the factory service manual calls for 17-20 Nm (13-15 ft-lbs) of torque for the front OE Brembo caliper bleeders. That's a lot more than you would think and much higher than I've seen for other vehicles with "normal" brakes. My guess would be you didn't have them tightened down enough. I would use a good, accurate torque wrench and check them all.
