BLEEDING PROCEDURE
NORMAL METHOD
Ensure the bleeding screw and the brake
hose banjo is fully tight.
Fix a transparent flexible tube of length 12"
(30 Cms.) firmly on the bleeder nipple and
insert the other end into a glass or plastic
container containing fresh brake fluid.
Ensure the tube end is fully immersed in
the fluid. This will prevent atmospheric air
from getting sucked into the caliper unit
during the bleeding process.
Fill the master cylinder with brake fluid from
a sealed container, till the "MAX" level.
Fix the diaphragm, plate and top cover. Do
not tighten the screws completely since it
may be required to top up fluid during the
bleeding process.
Depress the brake lever completely and
release fully so as to allow the brake fluid
to fill up in the brake hose and caliper.
When a slight firmness is felt on the lever
and it depresses only halfway, hold the
lever firmly in that position. DO NOT
RELEASE THE LEVER.
