BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER BLEEDING
NOTE
You may now bleed the brake master cylinder
using the same procedure as for bleeding the caliper.
Place the shim between the pads and operate the lever
a few times to pressurize the system.
Use the spacer or other tool to widen the caliper
pistons .
WARNING
Never adjust the caliper pistons directly, always on
the pads. Work gently to avoid damaging the pads.
Check whether any air bubbles escape into the
reservoir along with the fluid.
If there are still air bubbles, repeat the procedure until
there are no more bubbles in the fluid.
NOTE
Fill the reservoir with brake fluid as needed
while bleeding the hydraulic system.
Throughout this operation, make sure brake fluid is
always present in the reservoir.
Now you can be certain that all air bubbles have been
bled from the master cylinder.
