NOTE: Add brake fluid as necessary while performing the air bleed operation, in order to prevent the tank from running short of brake fluid.

9. After completing the bleeding operation, hold brake pedal depressed and tighten screw and install bleeder cap.

Tightening torque (Bleeder screw): 8 Nm (0.8 kgf-cm, 5.8 ft. lbs.)

10. Bleed air from each wheel cylinder using the same procedures as described in steps 6) through 7) above.
11. Depress brake pedal with a force of approximately 294 N (30 kgf, 66 lb) and hold it there for approximately 20 seconds. At this time check pedal

to see if it shows any unusual movement.
Visually inspect bleeder screws and brake pipe joints to make sure that there is no fluid leakage.

12. Install wheels, and drive vehicle for a short distance between 2 to 3 km (1 to 2 miles) to make sure that brakes are operating properly.
