Item 56803
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 23" Hose to the
remaining port on the Suction Lid.
6. Insert a Tapered Hose Adapter (14)
into the 23" Hose. Connect the
other end of the adapter to a Brake
Bleed Screw Adapter (9a or 9b).
7. 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.
8. 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.
