Bleeding Procedure
CAUTION:
Use only clean DOT 3 brake fluid. Ensure no dirt or other foreign matter contaminates brake fluid. DO NOT mix different brands of brake fluid, as they may not be compatible. Avoid spilling brake fluid on car, as it will damage paint. If brake fluid contacts paint, immediately flush with water.
CAUTION:
DO NOT press brake pedal all the way to the floor. Press brake pedal half-way to avoid damage to master cylinder piston seal. Damage to piston seal can cause internal and/or external leaks.
- Ensure master cylinder reservoir is full before performing bleeding procedure. Refill reservoir after bleeding each wheel. Have an assistant slowly pump brake pedal several times, then apply steady pressure. Loosen brake bleed screw at each wheel to allow air to escape from system. Tighten bleed screw to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . Repeat procedure until air bubbles no longer appear in fluid.
- Bleed brakes in following sequence. See BRAKELINE BLEEDING SEQUENCE
table. Ensure master cylinder reservoir is full. Road test vehicle and check brake performance.BRAKELINE BLEEDING SEQUENCE
