Hydraulic System Bleeding

Keep hydraulic fluid reservoirs filled with clean brake fluid during bleeding operation. Attach a bleed tube to bleeder screw on left-rear brake caliper, and immerse opposite end of tube in a container partially filled with brake fluid.

NOTE: On XKE, remove rear seat for access to rear brake caliper bleeder screws.

Loosen bleeder screw, operate pedal through full stroke until discharged fluid is free of air bubbles, and close bleeder screw. Repeat procedure on right-rear caliper and front calipers. Refill brake fluid reservoirs and check system for leaks.
