Pressure Bleeding
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Dodge Stratus and 2005 Chrysler Sebring. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Follow pressure bleeder manufacturer's instructions for use of pressure bleeding equipment.
Use bleeder tank, Special Tool C-3496-B or equivalent, with master cylinder reservoir adapter, Special Tool 8224, to pressurize the hydraulic system for bleeding.
Following the same wheel circuit sequence as prescribed for manual bleeding.
- Attach a clear plastic hose to the bleeder screw and feed the hose into a clear jar containing enough fresh brake fluid to submerge the end of the hose. See Figure.
- Open the bleeder screw at least one full turn or more to obtain a steady stream of brake fluid.
- After approximately 4-8 ounces of fluid have been bled through the brake circuit and an air-free flow is maintained in the clear plastic hose and jar, close the bleeder screw.
- Repeat this procedure at all the remaining bleeder screws.
- Check the brake pedal travel. If pedal travel is excessive or has not been improved, some air may still be trapped in the system. Rebleed the brakes as necessary.
- Test drive the vehicle to verify the brakes are operating properly and pedal feel is correct.
