Bleeding Procedure
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 ran dry, bleed master cylinder first.
- 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.
- Ensure master cylinder reservoir is full of brake fluid. Connect vinyl tube to caliper bleed 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 bleed screw until fluid starts to flow, and then close bleed screw. Repeat operation until no bubbles are present in fluid. Tighten bleed screw to 73 INCH lbs. (8.3 N.m). Bleed brake system in sequence. See BRAKELINE BLEEDING SEQUENCE table.
