When overhauling or replacing the brake caliper, mechanical bleeding in the usual way will normally be enough, but the brake pedal must be kept held
down during the procedure, so that the braking system is not drained of brake fluid. If the braking system has been completely or partly drained, use
the bleeding unit.
Note: Use only genuine Volvo brake fluid marked DOT 4+. Never reuse brake fluid. Always keep brake fluid in original pack and well sealed.
