Brake Fluid: Service and Repair

CHANGING BRAKE FLUID




1. Refer to bleeding procedures.
2. With a vehicle equipped with ABS(Anti-lock Brake System), refer to Anti-lock Brake System.
3. Connect a vinyl tube to the bleeder screw of each wheel cylinder. Put the other end of the vinyl tube in a vessel to receive the brake fluid.





4. Depress the brake pedal a few times. Then loosen the bleeder screw (with the brake pedal still depressed.), and tighten it after the brake fluid stops flowing.
5. Repeat the above operation until there are no air bubbles in the brake fluid.
6. Repeat these steps for the other cylinders.
7. Add new brake fluid up to the "MAX" level in the reserve tank.
