Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair

AIR BLEEDING

RX-7 System Shown As An Example

The brakes should be bled whenever a brake line is disconnected. If a hydraulic line is disconnected at the master cylinder, start at the slave cylinder
farthest from the brake master cylinder, and move to the next closest slave cylinder until all tour cylinders have been bled. If the disconnection point is
anywhere except the master cylinder, start at the point closest to the disconnection, and move to the next farthest slave cylinder until all four cylinders
have been bled. 

1.  On level ground, jack up the vehicle and support it evenly on safety stands.

Caution: Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces. If brake fluid does get on a painted surface, wipe it oft immediately.

2. Remove the bleeder cap and attach a vinyl tube to the bleeder screw.
3. Place the other end of the vinyl tube in a clear, fluid-filled container.
4.  Have a helper depress the brake pedal several times, and then hold it in the depressed position.
5.  Loosen the bleeder screw, drain out the fluid, and close the screw by using the SST.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until no air bubbles are seen.
7. Tighten the bleeder screw.
8. Perform the above steps for the remaining wheels.
9. Check for correct brake operation.

10. Check that there is no fluid leakage. Wipe off any spilled fluid immediately.
11. After bleeding the brakes, add brake fluid to MAX.
