a. Disconnect selected brake pipe connection port at master cylinder and allow brake fluid to flow from connector port, then reconnect pipe but do not tighten.
b. Slowly apply brake pedal to allow air to bleed from loose fitting, then tighten fitting before releasing brake pedal.
c. Wait 15 seconds, then repeat sequence, including 15 second wait, until all air has been purged from bore.
d. After all air has been removed from selected port, repeat procedure for next port, and then final port.
