C   High-pressure hose

D   Red cap

WARNING: Use the Bleeder T-wrench before disassembling the parts shaded in the illustration.

1. Open the hood.
2. Remove the red cap from the bleeder on the modulator.
3. Install the special tool on the maintenance bleeder and turn it out slowly 90° to collect high-pressure fluid into the reservoir. Turn the special tool out one complete turn to drain the brake fluid thoroughly.
4. Retighten the maintenance bleeder and discard the fluid.

Reservoir Brake Fluid Draining

1. Draining brake fluid from modulator reservoir:

The brake fluid may be extracted through the top of the modulator reservoir with a syringe. It may also be drained through the pump joint after disconnecting the pump hose.

2. Draining brake fluid from master cylinder.

Loosen the bleed screw and pump the brake pedal to drain the brake fluid from the master cylinder.

WARNING:

• A jet of fluid under high pressure will be expelled if the shaded pipe/hose is removed.
• To drain high-pressure brake fluid, follow the procedure on this page.
