Pressure Bleeding the Brakes

CAUTION: Pressure bleeding equipment must be of the diaphragm type. It must have a rubber diaphragm between the air supply and the brake fluid to prevent air, moisture, oil and other contaminants from entering the hydraulic system. Contamination could lead to deterioration of the braking components and loss of braking action.
