Bravo-Brava
- Bleed the system keeping the flexible pipe connected to the bleed screw and the opposite end im-
mersed in a transparent container filled with the same fluid as the circuit;
- loosen the bleed screw and, at the same time, press the brake pedal letting it return slowly; repeat this
operation until any air bubbles finish coming out;
- with the pedal fully depressed, tighten the bleed screw and remove the pipe. Carry out this operation
separately for each wheel starting at the rear (the furthest from the brake fluid reservoir).
A
During the bleeding operation keep the level of the fluid in the reservoir above the MIN refer-
ence.
Do not reuse the hydraulic fluid drained during the bleeding procedure.
- Restore the level of the fluid in the reservoir and refit the cap;
- check the efficiency of the braking system.
NOTE For versions with hydraulic clutches (Bravo 1998 20v) the fluid in the circuit must be drained
by connecting a flexible pipe to the clutch operating cylinder bleed screw, loosening it and act-
ing on the pedal to drain the fluid into a suitable container. Proceed with bleeding the hydraulic
clutch circuit in the same way as described for the braking circuit, using the clutch pedal this
time.

The bleeding operation can also be carried
out using the "Jollyfren" equipment. This
equipment allows the hydraulic system to be
bled quickly. The bleeding action is carried
out simultaneously for both wheels by a sin-
gle operator representing a considerable time
saving.
