Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair
Master Cylinder - Bench Bleed
COMPONENT BLEEDING
Brake Master Cylinder-Bench Bleed
Warning:
^
Use of any other than the approved DOT 3 brake will cause permanent damage to brake components and will render the brakes
inoperative. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
Warning:
^
Brake fluid contains polyglycol ethers and polyglycols. Avoid contact with eyes. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. If brake fluid
contacts eyes, flush eyes with running water for 15 minutes. Get medical attention if irritation persists. If taken internally, drink water
and induce vomiting. Get medical attention immediately. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
Caution:
^
Do not allow the brake master cylinder reservoir to run dry during the bleeding operation. Keep the brake master cylinder reservoir filled with the
specified brake fluid. Never reuse the brake fluid that has been drained from the hydraulic system.
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 has been disconnected for repair or a new component is installed, air may enter the system, causing spongy
brake pedal action. This requires the bleeding of the hydraulic system after it has been correctly connected.
1. Support the brake master cylinder body in a soft jaw vice.
2. Remove the master cylinder cap and install short brake hoses to the master cylinder outlet ports with the ends submerged in the brake master
cylinder reservoir.
