Hydraulic System Bleeding

NOTE: Perform bleeding operation starting with wheel cylinder farthest from master cylinder and then at front caliper of the same brake line. Do the same on the other brake line.

Bleeding Sequence:

2. Fill master cylinder reservoir with brake fluid and keep at least one-half full of fluid during bleeding operation.

Attaching Bleeder Tube:

2. Remove bleeder plug cap.
3. Attach a vinyl tube to the bleeder plug of wheel cylinder, and insert the other end into a container.

Depressing Brake Pedal/Bleeding Fluid:

4. Depress brake pedal several times, and then while holding it depressed, loosen bleeder plug about one third to one-half turn.

Tightening Bleeder Plug:

5. When the fluid pressure in the cylinder is almost depleted, retighten the bleeder plug.
6. Repeat this operation until there are no more air bubbles in hydraulic line.

Attaching Bleeder Plug Cap:

7. When bubbles stop, depress and hold brake pedal and tighten bleeder plug then attach bleeder plug cap.
8. After completing bleeding operation, apply fluid pressure to pipe line and check for leakage.

Replenishing Fluid To Specified Level:

9. Replenish the fluid in the reservoir to specified level and check brake pedal for "sponginess". If found spongy, repeat entire procedure of bleeding.
