Bleeding Rear Brakes
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 1988 Buick LeSabre, 1988 Buick Electra, 1987 Buick LeSabre, 1987 Buick Electra, and 1986 Buick LeSabre. 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.
