Fill up the brake master cylinder reservoir to the MAX mark as necessary.
3. Install a bleed tube to the rear right-hand brake caliper bleed nipple.
4. Bleed the circuit.
^
Make sure the bleed tube is firmly attached to the bleed nipple.
^
Submerge the end of the bleed tube in a bleed jar containing a small quantity of approved brake fluid.
^
Position the bleed jar base at least 300 mm (12 inch) above the bleed nipple to maintain fluid pressure and prevent air leaking past the bleed
nipple threads.
^
Open the bleed nipple half a turn.
^
Slowly apply the brake pedal to its maximum travel (this forces brake fluid into the bleed jar).
^
Close the bleed nipple.
^
Return the brake pedal to the rest position.
^
Wait 2 secondsto allow the brake fluid to replenish the system.
^
Fill up the brake master cylinder reservoir to the MAX mark as necessary.
^
Continue to bleed the circuit until air-free brake fluid is pumped into the jar.
^
Fully tighten the bleed nipple.
5. Repeat the procedure for the rear left, front right and front left-hand brake circuits.
6. Fill up the brake master cylinder reservoir to the MAX mark.
7. Install the brake master cylinder reservoir filler cap.
Additional Procedure to Bleed New Calipers with Integral Park Brake Mechanism
NOTE: Due to the complexity of the fluid path within the integral parking brake calipers, it may be difficult to achieve a satisfactory result using the
procedure above when new calipers have been installed.
