WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2000 Isuzu Hombre and 1999 Isuzu Hombre. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Check fluid level in master cylinder frequently during bleeding sequence. Fluid level must remain at least half full at all times.
- Clean master cylinder cap and surrounding area, and then remove cap. Fill master cylinder, keeping fluid level at least half full during bleeding procedure.
- Disconnect rear wheel brakeline from master cylinder (line furthest from brake booster). Depress brake pedal once slowly and hold depressed. Seal open delivery port on master cylinder with finger and release brake pedal. Remove finger when brake pedal returns completely. Repeat procedure until brake fluid flows from delivery port.
- Reconnect brakeline to master cylinder. Depress brake pedal once slowly and hold depressed. Loosen rear wheel brakeline at master cylinder to allow air to escape. Tighten brakeline and release brake pedal slowly. Repeat procedure until air bubbles are no longer present. Repeat entire procedure for front wheel brakeline, and then bleed calipers and wheel cylinders.
