HYDRAULIC BRAKE
If a brake bleeder is not available, perform the fol­
lowing procedure.
Connect a bleed hose to the right front caliper cen­
ter bleed valve.
1. Pump the brake pedal several (5
quickly, then push the brake pedal all the way
down, loosen the right front caliper center bleed
valve 1/4 of a turn.
Wait several seconds and close the bleed valve.
Release the brake pedal slowly and wait several
seconds after it reaches the end of its travel.
2. Repeat the above procedures until a sufficient
amount of the fluid flows out from the right front
caliper center bleed valve.
It is not a problem if the fluid flowing out from the
right front caliper center bleed valve contains air
bubbles because the lines will be bled later (page
15-12).
Connect a bleed hose to the rear caliper bleed valve.
Repeat above steps 1. and 2. for the rear caliper
lower bleed valve.
Bleed the hydraulic system (page 15-12).

caused by the PCV function. Be sure to apply the
