Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair
Base Brake System Bleeding
CAUTION: Before removing the master cylinder cover, wipe it clean to prevent dirt and other foreign matter from dropping into the master cylinder.
PRESSURE BLEEDING
CAUTION: Use bleeder tank Special Tool C-3496-B or equivalent with required adapter for the master cylinder reservoir to pressurize the hydraulic
system for bleeding.
NOTE: Follow pressure bleeder manufacturer's instructions for use of pressure bleeding equipment.
Trapped Air In Brake Line
When bleeding the brake system, some air may be trapped in the brake lines or valves far upstream, as much as ten feet from the bleeder screw.
Therefore, it is essential to have a fast flow of a large volume of brake fluid when bleeding the brakes to ensure all the air gets out.
The following wheel sequence for bleeding the brake hydraulic system should be used to ensure adequate removal of all trapped air from the
hydraulic system.
-
Left rear wheel
-
Right front wheel
-
Right rear wheel
-
Left front wheel
Proper Method For Purging Air From Brake System (Typical)
1. Attach a clear plastic hose to the bleeder screw starting at the right rear wheel and feed the hose into a clear jar containing enough fresh brake
fluid to submerge the end of the hose.
