Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair

GENERAL INFORMATION 

Before removing the master cylinder cover, wipe it clean to prevent dirt and other foreign matter from dropping into the master cylinder.

Pressure Bleeding Adapter Mounted On Fluid Reservoir

CAUTION:  Use Bleeder Tank Special Tool C-3496-B with Fluid Reservoir Pressure Bleeding Adapter Special Tool 6643 to pressurize the brake
system for bleeding.

Follow pressure bleeder manufacturer's instructions, for use of pressure bleeding equipment.

Trapped Air In Brake Line

When bleeding the brake system. Some air may be trapped in the brake lines or valves far upstream. As much as ten feet from the bleeder screw.
Therefore, it is essential to have a fast flow of a large volume of brake fluid when bleeding the brakes to ensure all the air gets out.

BLEEDING FRONT BRAKES 

When bleeding the front brakes it is necessary that both halves of the caliper assembly be bled individually. The procedure for bleeding the front
caliper is described below, this procedure should be followed to ensure that the caliper assembly is adequately bled.
