1. NOTE: It is not necessary to do a complete brake system bleed if only the disc brake caliper was disconnected.
Place a box end wrench on the disc brake caliper bleeder screw. Attach a rubber drain tube to the disc brake caliper bleeder screw, and submerge
the free end of the tube in a container partially filled with clean DOT 3 brake fluid.
2. Have an assistant pump the brake pedal and then hold firm pressure on the brake pedal.
3. Loosen the disc brake caliper bleeder screw until a stream of brake fluid comes out. While the assistant maintains pressure on the brake pedal,
tighten the disc brake caliper bleeder screw.
^
Repeat until clear, bubble-free fluid comes out.
^
Refill the brake master cylinder reservoir as necessary.
4. Tighten the front and rear bleeder screw.

Tighten to 15 Nm (11 ft. lbs.).
