Bleeding Front Brakes With Pressure Bleeder

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1988 Pontiac Bonneville. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Use only Dot 3 brake fluid. Use of Dot 5 silicone fluid is NOT recommended. Internal damage to pump components may result.
  1. Bleed front brakes only when rear brakes have been bled first. Remove reservoir cap. Attach Bleeder Adapter (J-35798) to reservoir. Attach bleeding equipment and pressurize system to 20 psi (1.4 kg/cm2 ).
  2. Attach a bleeder hose to one front bleeder valve and submerge other end of hose in a container of clean brake fluid. Open bleeder valve.
  3. Allow fluid to flow until no air is seen coming out end of hose. Close bleeder valve. Repeat procedure for other front brake. Fill reservoir to maximum level with a fully charged accumulator.
