Bleeding Brake System

NOTE: Use only DOT 4 grade brake fluid.
  1. Fill brake fluid reservoir to MAX fluid level. Connect hoses to both bleed valves on left rear wheel. Submerge hoses in bottle containing brake fluid. Both hoses must be below brake fluid surface.
  2. Open bleed valves. Have an assistant pump brake pedal slowly 5 times, holding pedal down on last depression stroke. No air bubbles should be visible after last stroke. Close all bleeders.
  3. Check brake fluid level after each open-and-close cycle of bleeders. Bleed remaining wheels in following order: right rear, front left and front right.
