13. Slowly release the foot pedal, allowing it to return to its released position.
NOTE: Check and fill the master cylinder frequently during the bleeding process. Do not allow the fluid
level in the master cylinder to drop low enough to allow air to enter the brake lines. If air enters
the brake lines during the bleeding process, then you will have to start again from the beginning.
14. Repeat the above steps until you are sure that all of the air is expelled from the brake line. Any air
bubbles that can be seen in the clear hose attached to the bleeder is an indication that there is still air
in the brake lines.
15. Repeat this process with each of the other wheels.
NOTE: When finished, top off the master cylinder with fluid. See
Check Master Cylinder Fluid
for
information on filling the master cylinder.
16. Reconnect the main positive and negative cables at the batteries.
17. Remove the blocks from behind the wheels.
18. Release the park brake and test drive the vehicle.
Always use brake fluid from a new sealed container. Never reuse any
brake fluid that has been removed from the brake system. Use of
contaminated brake fluid will degrade the braking performance and
may cause property damage or severe bodily injury.
•

•
DOT 3 brake fluid is corrosive and will damage paint finishes.
•
Dispose of brake fluid in accordance with local state and federal
regulations.
•
Read and follow all warnings on the brake fluid container.
