13. Have an assistant pump the brake pedal and then hold firm pressure on the brake pedal.
14. Loosen the RH front brake caliper inner 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.
15. Tighten the RH front brake caliper inner bleeder screw to 18 Nm (13 lb-ft), remove the rubber hose and install the bleeder screw cap.
16. Repeat Steps 12-15 for the RH front brake caliper outer bleeder screw.
17. Repeat Steps 12-15 for the RH front brake caliper inner bleeder screw.

Pressure Bleeding
WARNING: Do not use any fluid other than clean brake fluid meeting manufacturer's specification. Additionally, do not use brake fluid that
has been previously drained. Following these instructions will help prevent system contamination, brake component damage and the risk of
serious personal injury.
WARNING: Carefully read cautionary information on product label. For EMERGENCY MEDICAL INFORMATION seek medical advice.
In the USA or Canada on Ford/Motorcraft products call: 1-800-959-3673. For additional information, consult the product Material Safety
Data Sheet (MSDS) if available. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Do not allow the brake master cylinder to run dry during the bleeding operation. Master cylinder may be damaged if operated
without fluid, resulting in degraded braking performance. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
CAUTION: Brake fluid is harmful to painted and plastic surfaces. If brake fluid is spilled onto a painted or plastic surface, immediately wash
it with water.
NOTE: When any part of the hydraulic system is disconnected for repair or installation of new components, air can get into the system and cause
spongy brake pedal action. This requires bleeding of the hydraulic system after it is correctly connected. The hydraulic system can be bled manually or
with pressure bleeding equipment.
All vehicles
1. Clean all dirt from and remove the brake master cylinder filler cap and fill the brake master cylinder reservoir with clean, specified brake fluid.
2. NOTE: Master cylinder pressure bleeder adapter tools are available from various manufacturers of pressure bleeding equipment. Follow the
instructions of the manufacturer when installing the adapter.
Install the bleeder adapter to the brake master cylinder reservoir and attach the bleeder tank hose to the fitting on the adapter.
^
Refill the brake master cylinder reservoir with clean, specified brake fluid as necessary.
3. NOTE: Bleed the longest line first. Make sure the bleeder tank contains enough clean, specified brake fluid to complete the bleeding operation.
Remove the RH rear brake caliper bleeder screw cap and place a box-end wrench on the bleeder screw. Attach a rubber drain hose to the bleeder
screw, and submerge the free end of the hose in a container partially filled with clean, specified brake fluid.
