Pressure Bleeding
A diaphragm type pressure bleeder must be used. It must have a rubber diaphragm between the air supply and brake fluid to prevent air, moisture, oil,
and other contaminants from entering the hydraulic system.
NOTICE: Brake fluid can damage electrical connections and painted surfaces. Use shop cloths, suitable containers, and fender covers to prevent brake
fluid from contacting these areas. Always re-seal and wipe off brake fluid containers to prevent spills.
