Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair

Air bleeding (CBS) 

1. Jack up vehicle and support it with safety stands.

Caution:  Brake fluid reservoir must be 3/4 full during air bleeding.

2. Remove bleeder cap and attach a vinyl hose to bleeder plug.
3. Place other end of vinyl tube in a clear container.
4. Depress brake pedal a few times, and then hold it in depressed position.
5. Have a second person loosen the bleeder screw, drain out fluid, and retighten screw with SST(OK130 430 019).

Tightening torque: 16 - 22 ft. lbs. (21 - 29 Nm, 2.2 - 3.0 kg-m) 

Caution:  
a) Both people should stay in voice contact with each other.                     

b) Be sure pedal remains depressed until air bleed screw is tightened.

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until no air bubbles are seen.
7. Check for correct brake operation.
8. Verify that there is no fluid leakage. Clean away any spilled fluid with rags.
9. After air bleeding, add brake fluid to reservoir until specified level.

Notice:  Air bleeding must be starter from bleeder screw that is farthest from the master cylinder.
