To bleed the brakes proceed as follows:
A. Place parking brake control in OFF position.
Keep master cylinder reservoir full of the proper type fluid
throughout bleeding operation.
B. Prepare a piece of 5/32" clear plastic (preferred) or rubber (any color) tubing at
least 12 inches long. Remove bleeder screw dust cap. Install one end of hose
onto bleeder screw.
C. Place free end of hose in a clean glass receptacle containing enough hydraulic
fluid to cover end of hose. End of bleeder hose must be submerged at all times
to properly check for air bubbles and prevent entry of air into hydraulic system.
D. Apply brake pressure and open bleeder screw approximately 1/3 to ½ turn, close
bleeder screw before releasing brake pressure to avoid reentry of air into brake
system. Repeat this procedure until system is free of air.
