Bleeding Rear Brakes
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 1988 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight, 1988 Oldsmobile Delta 88, 1987 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight, 1987 Oldsmobile Delta 88, and 1986 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight. 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.
Bleeding the rear brakes requires a fully charged accumulator. The manufacturer does NOT recommend bleeding rear brakes by using a pressure bleeder.
CAUTION:
Care must be exercised when opening rear caliper bleeder screws, due to extremely high pressure available from a fully charged accumulator at bleeder screws.
