NOTE:It is not necessary to do a complete brake system bleed if only the brake caliper was disconnected or installed new.
1. Remove the bleeder screw cap and place a box-end wrench on the bleeder screw. Attach a rubber drain hose to the bleeder screw and submerge the
free end of the hose in a container partially filled with clean, specified brake fluid.
2. Have an assistant pump the brake pedal at least 2 times and then hold firm pressure on the brake pedal.
3. Loosen the bleeder screw until a stream of brake fluid comes out. While the assistant maintains pressure on the brake pedal, tighten the bleeder
screw.
-
Repeat until clear, bubble-free fluid comes out.
-
Refill the brake master cylinder reservoir as necessary.
4. Tighten the bleeder screw to specifications. Remove the rubber hose and install the bleeder screw cap.
-
Tighten to 5 Nm {0.5 kgf-m, 44 in-lbf}.
5. Apply brakes several times to verify correct brake operation.
