Manual Bleeding
- Fill master cylinder (if necessary). Reinstall master cylinder cap. Install clear hose on left rear bleeder screw. Place other end of hose in clean transparent container of brake fluid. Ensure end of clear hose is submerged in brake fluid.
- Pump brake pedal 3-4 times. Hold brake pedal down. Open bleeder screw at least one full turn. Brake pedal will drop to floor. Close bleeder screw. Release brake pedal after bleeder screw is closed. Check pedal travel. If pedal travel is excessive or has not improved, not enough fluid has passed through the system to expel all the trapped air. Repeat bleeding procedure as necessary until brake fluid flow is clear and free of bubbles.
- Bleed remaining brakelines in proper sequence at each wheel. See BRAKELINE BLEEDING SEQUENCE . Ensure bleeder screws are tightened to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
- Test drive vehicle. Be sure that the brakes are operating correctly and the pedal is solid.
