Brake Bleeding: Description and Operation
WARNING: Brake fluid contains polyglycol ethers and polyglycols. Avoid contact with eyes. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. If brake
fluid contacts eyes, flush with running water for 15 minutes. Get medical attention if irritation persists. If taken internally, drink water and
induce vomiting. Get medical attention immediately.
NOTE: When any part of the hydraulic system has been disconnected for repair or replacement, air may get into the lines and cause spongy pedal
action. This requires the bleeding of the hydraulic system after it has been properly connected to be sure all air is expelled from the brake cylinders and
lines. The hydraulic system can be bled manually or with pressure bleeding equipment such as Rotunda(r) brake bleeder 104-00064 or equivalent.
Bleed one brake cylinder at a time. Start the bleeding at the right rear brake wheel cylinder and then the left rear wheel brake cylinder. Then proceed to
bleed the front brakes, starting with the right front brake and finish bleeding on the left front brake.
Keep the brake master cylinder reservoir filled with the specified Ford Heavy Duty Brake Fluid C6AZ-19542-AA or BA (ESA-M6C25-A) or equivalent.
Never use brake fluid that has been drained from the system.
