BLEEDING MASTER CYLINDER
(1) Clamp the master cylinder in a vise. Attach
Bleeding Tubes, Special Tool 6802 to the master cyl-
inder outlet ports (Fig. 85) (Fig. 86). Position the
bleeding tubes so outlets of the tubes will be
below the surface of the brake fluid when res-
ervoir is filled to the proper level.

(2) Fill brake fluid reservoir with brake fluid con-
forming to DOT 3 specifications such as Mopar or an
Equivalent.
(3) Insert an appropriate size wooden dowel in the
end of the master cylinder piston (Fig. 87). Using the
dowel, slowly depress the piston to the full extent of
its travel and then allow the piston to return to its
released position. Continue to repeat this step until
bubbles no longer appear in the brake fluid. After no
more air bubbles are expelled from the bleed tubes
repeat the above procedure several more times to
ensure all air is bled from master cylinder.
