July 1: So it begins. Don't worry, this is not in the correct legal jurisdiction!

Bleeding System With Accumulator Charged

  1. Once accumulator pressure is applied to system, rear brakes can be bled by opening rear brake caliper bleed screws for 10 seconds at a time while holding brake pedal in applied position with ignition switch in "RUN" position.
  2. Repeat until an air-free flow of brake fluid has been observed at each caliper and then close bleed screws. Pump brake pedal several times to complete bleed procedure. Adjust brake fluid level in reservoir to "MAX" level with a fully charged accumulator.
CAUTION: Care must be exercised when opening rear caliper bleeder screws, due to extremely high pressure available from a fully charged accumulator at bleeder screws.
