Bleeding Procedures

  1. ABS bleeding procedure is the same procedure used in bleeding conventional brake system. If master cylinder reservoir is empty or is suspected of containing air, bleed master cylinder first.
  2. To bleed master cylinder, disconnect brake lines from master cylinder. Slowly depress brake pedal and hold. Block off master cylinder holes and release brake pedal. Repeat this procedure 3-4 times.
  3. Ensure master cylinder reservoir is full of brake fluid. Connect vinyl tube hose 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.
  4. 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). Bleed brake system in sequence. See BRAKELINE BLEEDING SEQUENCE  table.
