Bench Bleeding

  1. If servicing fluid reservoir and grommets, or installing new master cylinder, bench bleed master cylinder before installation.
  2. Place master cylinder in a soft-jaw vise. DO NOT overtighten vise, as damage to master cylinder will result. Install bleed tubes in both outlet ports of master cylinder.
  3. Fill reservoir to MAX mark on Grand Cherokee, or to FULL mark on all other models. Use only clean brake fluid. DO NOT reuse old brake fluid. Ensure ends of both bleed tubes are submerged in brake fluid.
  4. Using a wood dowel, fully apply and release master cylinder piston until no air bubbles exist in brake fluid flow. When all air bubbles are gone from master cylinder, remove bleed tubes, and cap outlet ports. Install reservoir cap. Install master cylinder. Bleed master cylinder on vehicle. See ON-VEHICLE BLEEDING .
