Pressure Bleeding
NOTE:
Follow pressure bleeder manufacturer's instructions for use of pressure bleeding equipment.
Following the same wheel circuit sequence as prescribed for manual bleeding.
- Attach Master Cylinder Cap (2), Special Tool 6921, in place of the filler cap on the master cylinder reservoir (1).
- Attach Bleeder Tank, Special Tool C-3496-B, or an equivalent, to the Master Cylinder Cap 6921.
- Attach a clear plastic hose (1) to the bleeder screw and feed the hose into a clear jar (2) containing enough fresh brake fluid to submerge the end of the hose.
- 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. Re-bleed the brakes as necessary.
- Test drive the vehicle to verify the brakes are operating properly and pedal feel is correct.
