4. Open up bleeder, then have a helper press down the brake pedal. Once the pedal is down close the bleeder. Repeat bleeding until fluid stream is
clear and free of bubbles. Then move to the next wheel.
PRESSURE BLEEDING
If pressure bleeding equipment will be used, the front brake metering valve will have to be held open to bleed the front brakes. The valve stem is
located in the forward end or top of the combination valve. The stem must either be pressed inward, or held outward slightly. A spring clip tool or
helper is needed to hold the valve stem in position.
Follow the tank manufacturer's instructions carefully when using pressure equipment. Do not exceed the tank manufacturer's pressure
recommendations. Generally, a tank pressure of 16-20 psi is sufficient for bleeding.
Fill the bleeder tank with recommended fluid and purge air from the tank lines before bleeding.
Do not pressure bleed without a proper master cylinder adapter. The wrong adapter can lead to leakage, or drawing air back into the system. Use the
adapter provided with the equipment or Adapter 6921.
