Fill up the 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 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 seconds to allow the brake fluid to replenish the system.
-
Fill up the 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 master cylinder reservoir to the MAX mark.
