  1. Attach Adapter (6921) to the master cylinder reservoir.
  2. Attach Bleeder Tank (C-3496-B) or equivalent, to the adapter on the master cylinder.
  3. 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 .
  4. Open the bleeder screw at least one full or more to obtain a steady stream of fluid.
  5. 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.
  6. NOTE: Monitor fluid level in the master cylinder to make sure it does not go dry.
