Bleeding Brake System
CAUTION:
Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces. If brake fluid contacts a painted surface, wipe off immediately and clean with alcohol. Use only DOT 3 brake fluid from a sealed container. Do not mix brake fluid with any other type.
- Brake bleeding procedure is same procedure used to bleed non-ABS systems. If master cylinder was rebuilt or reservoir became empty, bleed master cylinder first.
- Ensure master cylinder reservoir is full of brake fluid. Connect vinyl tube to caliper bleeder screw and insert other end of tube in a clear container 1/4 full of brake fluid.
- Slowly pump brake pedal several times. While depressing brake pedal, loosen bleeder screw until fluid starts to flow out, and then close bleeder screw. Repeat operation until no bubbles are present in fluid. Tighten bleeder screw to 96 INCH lbs. (11 N.m). See BRAKELINE BLEEDING SEQUENCE .
