Brake Caliper
NOTE:
It is not necessary to do a complete brake system bleed if only the brake caliper was disconnected or installed new.
- Remove the bleeder screw cap and place a box-end wrench on the disc brake caliper bleeder screw. Attach a rubber drain hose to the disc brake caliper bleeder screw and submerge the free end of the hose in a container partially filled with clean, specified brake fluid.
- Have an assistant pump the brake pedal at least 2 times and then hold firm pressure on the brake pedal.
- Loosen the disc brake caliper bleeder screw until a stream of brake fluid comes out. While the assistant maintains pressure on the brake pedal, tighten the disc brake caliper bleeder screw.
- Repeat until clear, bubble-free fluid comes out.
- Refill the brake master cylinder reservoir as necessary.
- Tighten the disc brake caliper bleeder screw and install the bleeder screw cap.
- Tighten to 16 Nm (12 lb-ft).
- Apply brakes several times to verify correct brake operation.
