8. Fit a correct sized ring spanner onto the LEFT REAR wheel hydraulic circuit bleeder valve (1).
9. Install a transparent hose over the end of the wheel hydraulic circuit bleeder valve (1).
10. Submerge the open end of the transparent hose into a container partially filled with brake fluid from a clean, sealed brake fluid container.
11. Have an assistant slowly depress the brake pedal fully and maintain steady pressure on the pedal.
12. Loosen the bleeder valve to purge air from the wheel hydraulic circuit.
13. Tighten the bleeder valve, then have the assistant slowly release the brake pedal.
14. Wait 15 seconds, then repeat steps 11-13 until all air is purged from the wheel hydraulic circuit.
15. Tighten the wheel circuit bleeder valve securely.
16. Fit a correct sized ring spanner onto the RIGHT REAR wheel hydraulic circuit bleeder valve.
17. Repeat steps 9-15.
18. Fit a correct sized ring spanner onto the LEFT FRONT wheel hydraulic circuit (inboard GXP) bleeder valve.
19. Repeat steps 9-15.
20. For GXP models, fit a correct sized ring spanner onto the LEFT FRONT wheel hydraulic circuit outer bleeder valve.
21. Repeat steps 9-15.
22. Fit a correct sized ring spanner onto the RIGHT FRONT wheel hydraulic circuit (inboard GXP) bleeder valve.
23. Repeat steps 9-15.
24. For GXP models, fit a correct sized ring spanner onto the RIGHT FRONT wheel hydraulic circuit outer bleeder valve.
25. Repeat steps 9-15.
26. After completing the final wheel hydraulic circuit bleeding procedure, make sure that each of the 4 wheel hydraulic circuit bleeder valves is
correctly tightened.
27. Install the wheels. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation (See: Maintenance/Wheels and Tires/Service and Repair) .
28. Lower the vehicle.
29. Fill the brake master cylinder reservoir to the maximum-fill level with brake fluid from a clean, sealed brake fluid container.
30. Slowly depress and release the brake pedal. Observe the feel of the brake pedal.
Important: If it is determined that air was induced into the system upstream of the hydraulic modulator assembly prior to servicing, the
Antilock Brake System Automated Bleed Procedure must be performed. Refer to Antilock Brake System Automated Bleed Procedure (
See: ) .
31. If the brake pedal feels spongy, repeat the bleeding procedure again. If the brake pedal still feels spongy after repeating the bleeding procedure,
perform the following steps:
