- Repeat previous step seven times or more. Tighten bleeder screw of rear wheel cylinder to 75 INCH lbs. (8.5 N.m). Depress brake pedal and release air from rear wheel cylinder. Repeat on other wheel cylinder. Turn ignition switch to ON and ensure pump motor has stopped.NOTE: Perform air bleeding for both wheels on the right and then left side.NOTE: Do not continuously drain brake fluid from bleeder plug for more than 3 seconds. When closing bleeder plug, wait until pump motor stops if it is operating.
