Wheel Cylinder
NOTE: It is not necessary to do a complete brake system bleed if only the wheel cylinder was disconnected or installed new.
1. Remove the bleeder screw cap and place a box end wrench on the wheel cylinder bleeder screw. Attach a rubber drain hose to the disc brake
caliper bleeder screw and submerge the free end of the hose in a container partially filled with clean, specified brake fluid.
2. Have an assistant pump the brake pedal at least 2 times and then hold firm pressure on the brake pedal.
3. Loosen the wheel cylinder bleeder screw until a stream of brake fluid comes out. While the assistant maintains pressure on the brake pedal, tighten
the bleeder screw.
^
Repeat until clear, bubble-free fluid comes out.
^
Refill the brake master cylinder reservoir as necessary.
4. Tighten the bleeder screw and install the bleeder screw cap.
^
Tighten to 5 Nm (44 lb-inch).
