Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair

Whenever possible, use pressure bleeder. To bleed brake system, use bottle with a transparent hose attached so that brake fluid can be checked for air bubbles. Do not re-use fluid removed from reservoir. Moisture or other contaminants in fluid can cause brake performance problems.

After replacing/removing brake master cylinder, clutch master cylinder must be bled before bleeding brakes.

a. Right rear caliper, left rear caliper, right front caliper, then left front caliper.
b. Re-bleed right rear caliper and assist bleeding process with repeated forceful pumping of brake pedal.
c. After bleeding, fill reservoir to maximum mark.
