Disc & Drum: Bleeding: Notes

CAUTION: Use only clean brake fluid. DO NOT allow brake fluid to contact painted surfaces as it may damage paint. If brake fluid contacts paint, immediately wash with water.

Hydraulic system bleeding is necessary any time air has been introduced into system. Bleed brakes at all 4 wheels if master cylinder lines have been disconnected or master cylinder has run dry.

Bleeding may be done either by using pressure bleeding equipment or by manually pumping brake pedal and using bleeder tubes.
