Bleeding Of Brake System Without Bleeder Unit
(It is not necessary to remove the wheels when bleeding the brake system.)
- Jack up the vehicle. Top up the brake fluid reservoir to MAX.
- Starting at the front left wheel, connect bleeder tubes to both the bleed screws. Submerge the free ends of the tubes in a small quantity of brake fluid in
a suitable vessel.
- Unscrew the bleed screws and gently pump the brake pedal 5 times. Keep the pedal depressed and re-tighten the screws. Release the pedal and check
the fluid level.
- Repeat the above procedure in the following order:
‹› front right-hand wheel
‹› rear left-hand wheel
‹› rear right-hand wheel
- Disconnect the tubes and remove the vessel. Check to see if there is any air remaining in the system by depressing the brake pedal, using
approximately 20kg (45 lbs) force. (This is equivalent to a sudden, powerful braking.) The pedal travel must not exceed 60 mm (2.4 in), nor must the
warning light flash or come on.
- The procedure must be repeated if air is found in the system.
- Do not forget to replace the rubber caps on the bleed screws.
