Air Bleeding Method

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
  • Always use the vertical press and put the auto-tensioner vertically.
  • Do not apply the load of 5,000 N (1,124 pound) or more to the rod.
  • Do not press the rod beyond Dimension "A" shown in the illustration.
  1. Set the auto-tensioner as shown in the illustration.
  2. Press the rod slowly down to the lowest point "A" shown in the illustration.
  3. Repeat the procedure 2 three times.
  4. While the rod is projected at the point "B" shown in the illustration, push the rod with 100 - 200 N (22 - 44 pound). Check the enough stiffness. If the stiffness is not enough, replace the auto-tensioner.
  5. Press down the rod slowly. Put the pin through the hole and secure it.
