Bleeding Procedures

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1994 Eagle Vision, 1994 Dodge Intrepid, 1994 Chrysler New Yorker, 1994 Chrysler LHS, and 1994 Chrysler Concorde. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Fill fluid reservoir frequently during bleeding procedure. Bleed brake system in sequence. See BRAKELINE BLEEDING SEQUENCE  table. Connect bleed hose to bleeder screw on caliper or wheel cylinder, and submerge free end in container of clean brake fluid.
    NOTE: Air can be trapped in hydraulic system if system is bled with wheels at full-jounce position (no vehicle weight on suspension). Before bleeding brake system, position vehicle on drive-on hoist, or raise rear wheels to normal ride height.
  2. Pump brake pedal 3 or 4 times. Press and hold brake pedal. Open bleeder screw at least 3/4 turn. Maintain pressure on brake pedal until it contacts floor, and hold at floor. Close bleeder screw.
  3. Repeat step 2) until no air bubbles appear in fluid. Repeat step 2) several more times to ensure system is fully bled. While bleeding brakes, ensure reservoir is kept full to prevent air entering system.
