HYDRAULIC AND PARK BRAKE SYSTEMS
4. Place, but do not tighten, the cap on the master cylinder reservoir.
5. Vacuum Bleeding:
5.1. Chock the front or rear wheels and loosen the lug nuts. Release the park brake and lift the front or
rear of the vehicle with a chain hoist or floor jack. See WARNING "Lift only one end..." in General
Warning on page 1-1.
5.2. Place jack stands under the outer front frame, or under the rear axle tubes, and lower onto stands
(Figure 6-2, Page 6-6).
5.3. Connect the vacuum-type brake bleeder (CCI P/N S0010702).
5.3.1. Front Brakes Only: Connect the two hose fittings from a vacuum type brake bleeder to
the top brake bleeder valves on the back of each of the front caliper assemblies.
5.3.2. Rear Brakes Only: Connect the two hose fittings from a vacuum type brake bleeder to the
brake bleeder valves on the back of each of the rear caliper assemblies.
5.4. Connect an air hose to the vacuum brake bleeder. The air pressure must be regulated at 12 to 15
psi (0.827 to 1.034 Bars).
5.5. Press the handle on the brake bleeder to start the vacuum.
5.6. With the vacuum running, open each of the top brake bleeder valves 1/4 turn on the front wheel cal-
ipers.
5.7. Monitor the fluid as it flows through the tubes of the vacuum bleeder tool. Continue to run the vac-
uum until there are no air bubbles in the lines. See following NOTE.
NOTE: Do not allow the brake fluid in the master cylinder reservoir to fall below the MIN level mark at any
time during the brake bleeding procedure.
5.8. With the vacuum still running, tighten the two top front brake bleeder valves to 25 in-lb (3 N·m).
5.9. Allow the handle on the brake bleeder tool to open and turn the vacuum system off.
6. Manual Bleeding:
Manually bleeding brakes is not done by rapidly applying extreme pressure on the vehicle's master cyl-
inder. It's simply a function of gently moving fluid through the system to displace the air and contami-
nants that have accumulated.
It is important to have the vehicle sitting level and safely supported on jack stands before the manual
bleeding procedure is performed. See following WARNING.

WARNING
• Do not bleed brakes with only one end of the vehicle raised. To place vehicle on four jack
stands, lift only one end of the vehicle at a time. Use a suitable lifting device (chain hoist or
hydraulic floor jack) with 1000 lb. (454 kg) minimum lifting capacity. Do not use the lifting
device to hold vehicle in the raised position. Use approved jack stands of proper weight
capacity to support the vehicle.
The following procedure will enable correct bleeding:
6.1. Chock the front or rear wheels and loosen the lug nuts. Release the park brake and lift the front of
the vehicle with a chain hoist or floor jack. See preceeding WARNING. Place jack stands under the
outer front frame and lower onto stands (Figure 6-2, Page 6-6).
6.2. Position jack under rear differential and lift rear of vehicle. Ensure the vehicle is not pulled off the
front jack stands while lifting the rear. See following WARNING. Once vehicle is level, place jack
stands under the rear axle tubes and lower onto stands.
