Brake Line Bleeding

CAUTION:
^ Do not let brake fluid remain on a painted surface. Wash it off immediately.

(c) At the point when fluid stops coming out, tighten the bleeder plug to 11 Nm (110 kg.cm, 8 ft. lbs) then release the brake pedal.
(d) Repeat (b) and (c) until all the air in the fluid has been bled out.
(e) Repeat the above procedure to bleed the air out of the brake line for each wheel.
