Bleeding The Circuit After Removing The Rear Master Cylinder Or The Upper Front Hydraulic Hose (Left Side Integral Braking) - PEUGEOT Elystar Workshop Manual

Bleeding the circuit after removing the rear master cylinder or the upper front hydraulic hose (left side
integral braking)
The following operation must be carried out scrupulously, and consists in removing the air bubbles
from the circuit through the relevant master cylinder, in order to guarantee correct operation of the
brake circuits
- Protect any plastics which may be exposed to brake fluid splashes
- Fill the left master cylinder half full with
brake fluid
- Position the handlebar in order to create a high
point on the master cylinder to enable the bubbles
in the circuit to rise more easily
Essential precautions: 1) pumping with the brake lever must be carried out slowly.
Operate the brake lever slowly with a maximum movement of 2 cm from its rest position until no more
bubbles can be seen coming up through the master cylinder reservoir.
This operation can only be successful if it is not hurried.
- Remove the rear caliper bleed screw cap
- Connect the bleed screw to a recipient containing brake fluid using a transparent pipe. The recipient must be
kept higher than the brake caliper to facilitate checking that the air bubbles are being expelled.
- Open the caliper bleed screw half a turn
