Park Brake Bleeding Procedure

To Bleed the Park Brake:
1
Park the Cruiser on a flat level surface and
chock the wheels.
2 Place approximately 30 mm of hydraulic oil
into a container to be use for bleeding the
brake and place it below the Park brake.
3 Connect a clear plastic tube to the bleed
screw on the Park brake caliper.
4 Place the opposite end of the tube into the
oil container and submerge the end of the
plastic tube in it.
This is important to stop air being drawn
back through the system.
5 Loosen the bleed screw on the Park brake
caliper & press the Park brake in the cabin.
Oil will flow continuously.
6 Re-tighten the bleed screw only when no
air bubbles are visible in the oil leaving the
bleed screw.
