Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair
Master Cylinder Bleeding
STANDARD PROCEDURE - MASTER CYLINDER BLEEDING
1. Clamp the master cylinder in a vise.
NOTE: Depending on master cylinder type (Bosch or Continental Teves, with or without ABS) refer to steps 2 - 5 for proper Bleeder Tube
installation.
NOTE: On vehicles without ABS this procedure is designed to be performed with the proportioning valves installed in the master cylinder.
2. Bosch Master Cylinder without ABS - Attach four Bleeder Tubes, Special Tool 8358-1, to the four ports of the master cylinder (proportion valves
installed) and tighten to 17 Nm (145 inch lbs.) torque (Fig. 70). Flex the Bleeder Tubes and position the open ends into the master cylinder
reservoir so their outlets are below the surface of the brake fluid in the reservoir when filled.
3. Bosch Master Cylinder with ABS - Attach a Bleeder Tube, Special Tool 8358-1, to the primary port of the master cylinder and tighten to 17 Nm
(145 inch lbs.) torque (Fig. 71). Attach a Bleeder Tube, Special Tool 8358-2, to the secondary port of the master cylinder and tighten to 17 Nm
(145 inch lbs.) torque. Flex the Bleeder Tubes and position the open ends of the tubes into the master cylinder reservoir so their outlets are below
the surface of the brake fluid in the reservoir when filled.
