Hydraulic Brake System Bleeding
(Manual Bleed)
The time required to bleed the hydraulic system can
be reduced if the master cylinder reservoir is filled with
brake fluid and as much air as possible is expelled
before the master cylinder is installed on the vehicle.
Pumping the piston can evacuate the air from the
piston cavities.
Power brakes require the vacuum reserve be depleted
by applying the brakes several items with the engine
off. Care must be taken to prevent brake fluid from
contacting any painted surface.
1. Fill the master cylinder reservoir with brake fluid
and keep the reservoir at least half full of fluid
during the bleeding operation. (
