system, make sure to clean components before dis-

merge other end of hose in a glass container partially
filled with clean brake fluid.
2. Have a helper pump brake pedal several times, then
hold pedal down firmly.
3. With pedal firmly depressed, open bleeder valve of
brake until pedal fades to floor. Close bleeder valve be-
fore releasing pedal.
4. Repeat procedure until a continuous flow of brake
fluid, with no air bubbles, is released from bleeder valve.
Make sure fluid level is maintained in brake fluid res-
ervoir at all times .
5. Repeat steps 1 to 4 for other rear brake cylinders and
front calipers.
CAUTION
After servicing the brakes, always check the
brakes in a wide open, level area that is free of
other persons and obstructions.
6. After bleeding of brakes is completed, test vehicle to
make sure brakes are operating correctly and pedal is
solid.
