NOTE: The front brake circuits must be bled first. If required, a bleeder unit can be used for the front brake circuits.
FRONT WHEEL BRAKE CIRCUITS
1. Top up, as necessary with DOT 4 brake fluid.
2. Connect a length of transparent hose to the bleed nipple on the right hand front caliper. Place the other end of the hose in a suitable receptacle.
3. Have a helper depress the brake pedal as you undo the nipple.
-
With the pedal down to the floor, tighten the nipple and then release the pedal.
-
Repeat this operation until no air bubbles are visable in the hose.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to bleed the circuit for the left front hand front wheel.
