Manual Bleeding

    NOTE: Ensure brakeline fitting or bleed valve is closed when brake pedal is released. DO NOT allow master cylinder to run out of fluid.
  1. Fill master cylinder with clean brake fluid meeting DOT 3 specifications. Open all wheel bleed valves and allow system to gravity bleed. Close bleed valves when fluid begins flowing from each valve. Refill master cylinder.
  2. Bleed master cylinder and combination valve at brakeline fittings. Depress brake pedal slowly through full travel. Close brakeline fitting, then release pedal. When air is removed, tighten brakelines to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  .
  3. Install bleed hose onto first bleed valve to be serviced. See BRAKELINE BLEEDING SEQUENCE  table under BLEEDING SEQUENCE. Submerge other end of hose in clean glass jar partially filled with clean brake fluid. See Fig 1 .
  4. Open bleed valve 1/2 to 3/4 turn. Depress brake pedal slowly through full travel. Close bleed valve, then release pedal. Repeat procedure until flow of fluid shows no signs of air bubbles. Refill master cylinder reservoir. Follow bleeding sequence and ensure proper system operation.
