6-4A BRAKES (WITH ABS)
On Vehicle Service
Bleeding Brakes
Caution:
Brake fluid is extremely damaging to paint. If fluid should
accidentally touch painted surface, immediately wipe
fluid from paint and clean painted surface.
Bleeding operation is necessary to remove air whenever it entered
hydraulic brake system.
Hydraulic lines of brake system are based on the diagonal split
system. When a brake pipe or hose was disconnected at the wheel,
bleeding operation must be performed at both ends of the line of
the removed pipe or hose. When any joint part of the master cylinder
or other joint part between the master cylinder and each brake
(wheel) was removed, the hydraulic brake system must be bled at
all 4 wheel brakes.
Note:
Perform bleeding operation starting with wheel cylinder
farthest from master cylinder and then at front caliper
of the same brake line. Do the same on the other brake
line.
1) Fill master cylinder reservoir with brake fluid and keep at least
one-half full of fluid during bleeding operation.
Brake Fluid: GC 1500 AA
2) Remove bleeder plug cap (1).
Attach a vinyl tube (2) to bleeder plug of wheel cylinder, and
insert the other end into container (3).
3) Depress brake pedal several times, and then while holding it
depressed, loosen bleeder plug about one-third to onehalf turn.
4 When fluid pressure in the cylinder is almost depleted, retighten
bleeder plug.
5) Repeat this operation until there are no more air bubbles in
hydraulic line.
