2) Fit one end of vinyl tube into the air bleeder and put the other end into a brake fluid container.
CAUTION: Brake fluid replacement sequence; (A) Front right -> (B) Rear left -> (C) Front left -> (D) Rear right
3) Slowly depress the brake pedal and keep it depressed. Then, open the air bleeder to discharge air together with the fluid.
Release the air bleeder for 1 to 2 seconds.
Next, with the bleeder closed, slowly release the brake pedal.
Repeat these steps until there are no more air bubbles in the vinyl tube.
Allow 3 to 4 seconds between two brake pedal operations.
CAUTION: Cover the bleeder with waste cloth, when loosening it, to prevent brake fluid from being splashed over surrounding parts.
NOTE: The brake pedal operating must be very slow.
4) Tighten the air bleeder securely when no air bubbles are visible.
Air bleeder tightening torque:
Except 17 inch type: 8 Nm (0.8 kgf-m, 5.8 ft. lbs.)
17 inch type: 20 Nm (2.0 kgf-m, 14.5 ft. lbs.)
NOTE: For 17 inch type, do not allow brake fluid come in contact with caliper body; wash away with water. (Especially for air bleeder screw.)
5) Perform these steps for the brakes connecting to secondary chamber of master cylinder, first, and then for the ones connecting to primary chamber.
With all procedures completed, fully depress the brake pedal and keep it in that position for approximately 20 seconds to make sure that there is
no leak evident in the entire system.
