Manual Bleeding

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 18 other vehicles, including the 1992 Eagle Premier, 1992 Dodge Monaco, 1992 Dodge Dynasty, 1992 Chrysler New Yorker Fifth Avenue, and 1992 Chrysler New Yorker. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Manual bleeding requires assistance from a second technician.
  1. Ensure ignition is off and remains off during bleeding procedure. Depressurize accumulator by pumping brake pedal a minimum of 40 times.
    WARNING: Failure to depressurize hydraulic accumulator prior to performing this operation may result in personal injury and/or damage to painted surfaces.
  2. Connect transparent hose to caliper bleed screw. Submerge free end of hose in clear jar partially filled with clean, fresh brake fluid. Slowly pump brake pedal several times, using full strokes of pedal and allowing approximately 5 seconds between pedal strokes. After 2 or 3 strokes, continue holding pressure with pedal at bottom of travel.
  3. With pressure on pedal, open bleed screw 1/2-3/4 turn. Leave bleed screw open until fluid no longer flows from hose. Tighten bleed screw and release pedal. Repeat until clear, bubble-free fluid flows from hose. Bleed all calipers in order, LR, RR, LF and RF.
