Item 63391

Brake Bleeding

1.  Attach a 3" Hose (5) to the 

bottom of the Suction Lid (2a).

2.  Attach a 23" Hose (4) to the port on 

the top of the Suction Lid that does not 
have the 3" Hose attached, as shown in 
Figure A.  Then, attach the other end of 
that 23" Hose to the Vacuum Pump (1).

3.  Make sure the O-ring (11) is completely 

seated into the groove on the top of the 
Cup (3) to provide a good seal.  Firmly 
attach the Suction Lid to the Cup.

4.  Remove the cap from the vehicle’s 

master cylinder, and make sure the 
master cylinder is full of brake fluid.  
If not full, fill the master cylinder 
to capacity with clean, new 
brake fluid.  (Use only the kind 
of brake fluid recommended by 
the vehicle manufacturer.)

Note:  

Determine the proper brake bleeding 

sequence from your vehicle service manual  
(i.e., right rear wheel, left rear wheel, 
right front wheel, left front wheel).

5.  Connect the other 23" Hose to the 

remaining port on the Suction Lid.

6.  Insert the appropriate Brake 

Bleed Screw Adapter (9a, 9b, 
or 9c) into the 23" Hose.

7.  Attach the Brake Bleed Screw 

Adapter to the bleed screw 
on the vehicle caliper.

8.  Squeeze the Handle of the 

Vacuum Pump 10 to 15 times to 
create a vacuum in the Cup.

Note: 

The Gauge on the Vacuum Pump 

should read at approximately 10 inHg.  
Do not exceed 20 inHg.  A greater vacuum 
could damage the vehicle’s brake system.

9.  Open the vehicle’s brake caliper 

bleed screw, and allow brake 
fluid to flow into the Cup until fluid 
appears clear and free of bubbles.  
Then, retighten the bleed screw.
