filled with clean brake fluid.

hold pedal down firmly.
3. With pedal firmly depressed, open bleeder valve of
brake until pedal fades to floor. Close bleeder valve be-
fore releasing pedal.
4. Repeat procedure until a continuous flow of brake
fluid, with no air bubbles, is released from bleeder valve.
Make sure fluid level is maintained in brake fluid res-
ervoir at all times.
