Challenger SRT-8 V8-6.1L (2009)
NOTE: To make sure all air is bled from the ICU or junction block in a timely manner, it is recommended to raise the rear of the vehicle
approximately 5° higher than the front or approximately 254-305 mm(10-12 inches) as measured at the rear bumper (1).
4. Raise and support vehicle placing rear of vehicle approximately 5° higher than the front or if measured at the rear bumper (1), approximately
10-12 inches above level. It will be necessary to add extra support stands under vehicle to support this angle.
NOTE: Use the following wheel circuit sequence for bleeding the brake hydraulic system to adequately remove all trapped air from the brake
hydraulic system.

Right rear wheel
-
Left rear wheel

REAR BRAKES
1. If installed, remove the rubber dust caps from both bleeder screws on each caliper.
2. Start at the first wheel circuit that needs to be bled (See list in above note). Attach a clear hose (3) to the inboard bleeder screw (2) at the wheels
brake caliper and feed the other end of hose into a clear jar (4) containing enough fresh brake fluid to submerge the end of the hose.
CAUTION: Open the bleeder screw at least one full turn when instructed. Some air may be trapped in the brake lines or valves far upstream,
as far as ten feet or more from the bleeder screw. If the bleeder screw is not opened sufficiently, fluid flow is restricted causing a
slow, weak fluid discharge. This will NOT get all the air out. Therefore, it is essential to open the bleeder screw at least one full
turn to allow a fast, large volume discharge of brake fluid.
3. Open the inboard bleeder screw (2) one full turn to obtain an adequate flow of brake fluid.
4. After bleeding 118-237 ml. (4-8 oz.) of brake fluid through the brake hydraulic circuit, and maintaining air-free flow (no bubbles) is in the clear
plastic hose (3) and jar (4), close the bleeder screw (2).
5. Remove the clear hose and install the bleeder screw dust cap.
