Pressure Bleeding

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 14 other vehicles, including the 2004 Ford RV Cutaway, 2004 Ford Econoline, 2004 Ford E450 Super Duty, 2004 Ford Cutaway, and 2003 Ford RV Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
    CAUTION: DO NOT exceed 50 psi (3.5 kg/cm2 ) during bleeding.
  1. Clean all dirt from and remove the brake master cylinder filler cap. Fill the brake master cylinder reservoir with the specified brake fluid.
    2. NOTE: Master cylinder pressure bleeder adapter tools are available from various manufacturers of pressure bleeding equipment. Follow the instructions of the manufacturer when installing the adapter.
  2. Install the bleeder adapter to the brake master cylinder reservoir, and attach the bleeder tank hose to the fitting on the adapter.
    3. NOTE: Bleed the longest line first. Make sure the bleeder tank contains enough specified brake fluid to complete the bleeding operation.
  3. Attach a rubber drain tube to the right rear bleeder screw, and submerge the free end of the tube in a container partially filled with clean brake fluid. See Figure.
  4. Open the valve on the bleeder tank. Loosen the right rear bleeder screw. Leave open until clear, bubble-free brake fluid flows, then tighten the right rear bleeder screw and remove the rubber hose.
  5. Continue bleeding the rear of the system, going in order from the left rear bleeder screw to the right front disc brake caliper bleeder screw and ending with the left front disc brake caliper bleeder screw.
  6. Close the bleeder tank valve. Remove the tank hose from the adapter, and remove the adapter.
