Bleeding brake system - ITT ABS/ESP Mark 60
Bleeding brake system without brake filling and bleeding appliance
Note:
Make sure brake fluid reservoir is always full.
-
‒ Detach protective cap at bleed screw of brake caliper and attach bleed hose of bleeder bottle to bleed screw.
Bleeding sequence
-
‒ Build up pressure in brake system by pumping with pedal.
Note:
Press brake pedal slowly to avoid formation of bubbles.
-
‒ Once pressure has built up, keep brake pedal depressed.
-
‒ Open bleed screw with hose of bleeder bottle attached until pressure has been dissipated (pedal sags).
-
‒ Keep pedal depressed and close bleed screw.
-
‒ Release brake pedal and wait approx. 2 seconds to allow brake fluid to flow in from brake fluid reservoir.
-
‒ Repeat procedure until brake fluid emerging is clear and free from bubbles.
-
‒ Tighten bleed screw to 10 Nm, detach bleed hose and attach protective cap to bleed screw.
-
‒ Repeat bleeding procedure in stated sequence at other brake calipers.
Notes:
-
◆ If one chamber of brake fluid reservoir is completely empty (e.g. on account of leaks in brake system), brake system must be pre-bled => Page 47-44.
-
◆ On right-hand drive vehicles, brake master cylinder must additionally be bled. Bleeding sequence => Page 47-49
-
‒ Making allowance for pad wear, fill brake fluid reservoir as far as max. mark and screw on cap.
-
‒ Start engine and check both brake pedal travel and pressure.
-
‒ In the event of excessive pedal travel, check brake system for leaks/repeat bleeding procedure.
