Brake Bleeding
Brake Bleeding Information
WARNING!
When bleeding the brake system, wear safety glasses. A clear bleed tube must be attached to the bleeder
screws and submerged in a clear container filled partially with clean brake fluid. Direct the flow of brake fluid
away from yourself and the painted surfaces of the vehicle. Brake fluid at high pressure may come out of the
bleeder screws when opened.
CAUTION:
Before removing the master cylinder cap, wipe it clean to prevent dirt and other foreign matter
from dropping into the master cylinder reservoir. Use brake fluid or an equivalent from a fresh,
tightly sealed container. Brake fluid must conform to DOT 4 specifications.
NOTE :
During the brake bleeding procedure, be sure the brake fluid level remains close to the MAX level in the master
cylinder fluid reservoir. Check the fluid level periodically during the bleeding procedure and add brake fluid as
required.
NOTE :
Do not pump the brake pedal at any time while having a bleeder screw open during the bleeding process. This will
only increase the amount of air in the system and make additional bleeding necessary. Do not allow the master
cylinder reservoir to run out of brake fluid while bleeding the system. An empty reservoir will allow additional air into
the brake system. Check the fluid level frequently and add fluid as needed. The following wheel circuit sequence for
bleeding the brake hydraulic system should be used to ensure adequate removal of all trapped air from the hydraulic
system.
