| Bleeding brake system without brake filling and bleeding equipment |
Note | Make sure brake fluid reservoir is always full. |
| –
| Detach protective cap at bleeder screw of brake caliper and attach bleed hose of bleeder bottle to bleeder screw. |
| 1 - | Front left-side brake caliper |
| 2 - | Front right-side brake caliper |
| 3 - | Rear left-side brake caliper |
| 4 - | Rear right-side brake caliper |
| –
| Build up pressure in brake system by pumping brake pedal. |
Note | Press brake pedal slowly to avoid formation of bubbles. |
| –
| Once pressure has built up, keep brake pedal depressed. |
| –
| Open bleeder screw with hose of bleeder bottle attached until pressure has dissipated (pedal sags). |
| –
| Keep pedal depressed and close bleeder screw. |
| –
| Release brake pedal and wait approx. 2 seconds to allow brake fluid to flow in from brake fluid reservoir. |
| –
| Repeat procedure until emerging brake fluid is clear and free from bubbles. |
| –
| Tighten bleeder screw to 10 Nm, detach bleeder hose and attach protective cap to bleeder screw. |
| –
| Repeat bleeding procedure in stated sequence at other brake calipers. |
| –
| Making allowance for pad wear, fill brake fluid reservoir as far as max. marking 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 and/or repeat bleeding procedure. |
