Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair
Air Bleeding of Brake System
CAUTION: Brake fluid is extremely damaging to paint. If fluid should accidentally touch painted surface, immediately wipe fluid from paint
and clean painted surface.
Bleeding operation is necessary to remove air whenever it entered hydraulic rake system.
Hydraulic lines of brake system are based on the diagonal split system. When a brake pipe or hose was disconnected at the wheel, bleeding operation
must be performed at both ends of the line of the removed pipe or hose. When any joint part of the master cylinder of other joint part between the
master cylinder and each brake was removed, the hydraulic brake system must be bled at all 4 wheel brakes.
NOTE: Perform bleeding operation starting with rear brake caliper farthest from master cylinder and then at front caliper of the same brake line. Do
the same on the other brake line.
1) Fill master cylinder reservoir with specified brake fluid and keep at least one-half full of fluid during bleeding operation.
2) Remove bleeder plug cap.
Attach a vinyl tube (1) to bleeder plug, and insert the other end into container (2).
