Bleeding Guidelines

Mechanical bleeding is usually sufficient when overhauling or replacing brake calipers. If the brake pedal is depressed during this operation, no brake fluid will flow out of the system.

The brake system can be bled both mechanically and by means of overpressure.

NOTE: After a brake caliper is repaired it only needs to be bled for a short time; longer in the case of repairs to the master cylinder and ABS module.
