Air bleeding operations are generally performed in the
following sequence .
1) Bleed air from primary side of circuit between hy-
draulic unit and master cylinder using FL and RR pri-
mary air bleeders on top of hydraulic unit .
2) Bleed air from secondary side of circuit pressure
reducing circuit, using FR and RL secondary air bleeders
on top of hydraulic unit.
3) Bleed air from line between hydraulic unit and wheel
cylinder using FR wheel cylinder air bleeder .
4) Using step 3) above, air is bled from RL wheel
cylinder .
