Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair
Bleeding Procedures
Brake System Bleeding
NOTE:
^
Do not reuse the drained fluid.
^
Always use Honda Heavy Duty DOT 3 Brake Fluid. Using a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and shorten the life of the system.
^
Make sure no dirt or other foreign matter is allowed to contaminate the brake fluid.
^
Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle, it may damage the paint; if brake fluid does contact the paint, wash it off immediately with water.
^
The reservoir on the master cylinder must be at the MAX (upper) level mark at the start of the bleeding procedure and checked after bleeding each
brake caliper. Add fluid as required.
1. Make sure the brake fluid level in the reservoir is at the MAX (upper) level line (A).
2. Attach a length of clear drain tube to the bleed screw.
3. Have someone slowly pump the brake pedal several times, then apply steady pressure.
4. Loosen the left-front brake bleed screw, loosen the brake bleed screw to allow air to escape from the system. Then tighten the bleed screw
securely.
