Bleeding Brakes
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 mas-
ter 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.
1) Fill master cylinder reservoir with brake fluid and keep at
least one-half full of fluid during bleeding operation.
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).
CAUTION:
Brake fluid is extremely damaging to paint. If fluid should
accidentally touch painted surface, immediately wipe
fluid from paint and clean painted surface.
NOTE:
For vehicle equipped with ABS, make sure that ignition
switch is turned off.
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.
