Remove the bleeding system.

Check if there is any remaining air in the system by depressing the brake pedal with the same force as when braking normally.

The pedal must not move downwards more than 40 mm when the engine is switched off, and after the brake pedal is depressed 3-4 times. Bleed again if the pedal's movement exceeds 40 mm.

Check the brake system. Check for leaks.

Check the brake fluid level.

Wipe up any spilled brake fluid.
