Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair

CAUTION
- Use the specified brake fluid. Don't use a mixture of the specified brake fluid and another non-specified fluid.

- For vehicles with ABS, be sure to filter/strain the brake fluid being added to the master cylinder reservoir tank. Debris may damage the hydraulic unit.


Specified Brake Fluid:
MOPAR Brake Fluid/Conforming to DOT3 or DOT4

MASTER CYLINDER BLEEDING
The master cylinder has no check valve, so if bleeding is carried out by the following procedure, bleeding of air from the brake line will become easier.
1. Fill the reserve tank with brake fluid.
2. Keep the brake pedal depressed.
3. Have another person cover the master cylinder outlet with a finger.
4. With the outlet still closed, release the brake pedal.
5. Repeat steps 2-4 three or four times to fill the inside of the master cylinder with brake fluid.

BRAKE LINE BLEEDING





Start the engine and bleed the air in the sequence shown in the figure.
