4, Refill the system.
5. Bleed the system.
BLEEDING HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
The hydraulic brake system must be bled whenever,
any line has been disconnected or air has in some way
entered the system. A "spongy" pedal feeling when the
brakes are applied may indicate presence of air in the
system. The system must be absolutely free of air at all
times. Bleeding of brake system may be performed by
one of two methods - either pressure or manual.
PRESSURE BLEEDING (Figs. 5 an d 6)
NOTE:
Pressure bleeding equipment must be of
the diaphragm type. That is, it must have a rub
ber diaphragm between the air supply and the
brake fluid to prevent air, moisture, oil and
other contaminates from entering the hydraulic
system.
1. Clean all dirt from top of main cylinder and remove
cylinder cover and rubber diaphragm.
2. Reduce fluid level in main cylinder until reservoirs
are approximately half full.
NOTE:
Make sure brake fluid in bleeder equip
ment is at operating level and that the equipment
is capable of exerting 20 to 30 lbs. hydraulic
pressure on the brake system.
3. Install brake bleeder adapter J-23518 (J-23339 for
frame mounted boosters) on main cylinder. Connect
hose from bleeder equipment to bleeder adapter and
open release valve on bleeder equipment.
NOTE:
The combination valve, located near the
main cylinder, must have the plunger depressed
while bleeding - use tool J-23709 as shown in
Figure 5.
4. Install brake bleeder wrench, Tool J-21472 on bleeder
valve at wheel cylinder and install one end of bleeder
hose on bleeder valve.
5. Pour a sufficient amount of brake fluid into a trans
parent container to ensure that end of bleeder hose
will remain sumerged during bleeding. Place the
loose end of bleeder hose into the container. Be sure
the hose end is submerged in the fluid.
