NOTE:
-
Correct manual bleeding of the brakes hydraulic system will require the aid of a helper.
-
To adequately bleed the brakes using the manual bleeding procedure the rear brakes must be correctly adjusted. Prior to the manual bleeding of the
brake hydraulic system, correctly adjust the rear brakes.
-
The following wheel sequence should be used when bleeding the brake hydraulic system. The use of this wheel sequence will ensure adequate
removal of all trapped air from the brake hydraulic system.

1. Pump the brake pedal three or four times and hold it down before the bleeder screw is opened.
2. Push the brake pedal toward the floor and hold it down. Then open the left rear bleeder screw at least 1 full turn. When the bleeder screw opens
the brake pedal will drop all the way to the floor.
3. Release the brake pedal only after the bleeder screw is closed.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3, four or five times, at each bleeder screw in the required sequence. This should pass a sufficient amount of fluid to expel
all the trapped air from the brake system. Be sure to monitor the fluid level in the master cylinder, so it stays at a proper level so air will not enter
the brake system through the master cylinder.
5. Perform a final adjustment of the rear brake shoes and then test drive vehicle to be sure brakes are operating correctly and that pedal is solid.
