Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair
Brake Master Cylinder - In-Vehicle Bleed
Special Tools
WARNING: Brake fluid contains polyglycol ethers and polyglycols. Avoid contact with eyes. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. If
brake fluid contacts eyes, flush eyes with running water for 15 minutes. Get medical attention if irritation persists. If taken internally, drink
water and induce vomiting. Get medical attention immediately.
CAUTION: Do not allow the brake master cylinder reservoir to run dry during the bleeding operation. Keep the brake master cylinder reservoir filled
with the specified brake fluid. Never reuse the brake fluid that has been drained from the hydraulic system.
CAUTION: Brake fluid is harmful to painted and plastic surfaces. If brake fluid is spilled onto a painted or plastic surface, immediately wash it with
water.
Note: When any part of the hydraulic system has been disconnected for repair or new installation, air may get into the system and cause spongy brake
pedal action. This requires bleeding of the hydraulic system after it has been correctly connected. The hydraulic system can be bled manually or with
pressure bleeding equipment.
1. Note: When a new brake master cylinder has been installed or the system has been emptied, or partially emptied, it should be primed to prevent
air from getting into the system.
Disconnect the brake master cylinder outlet tubes.
