RVP – Reliability / Value / Performance

Brake Bleed

A:

Set car on jack stands.

B:

Remove wheels.

C:

Starting with right rear; using 11mm wrench; open 
valve while your helper pushes brake pedal.  When 
fluid starts to flow, close valve.  Instruct your helper 
to NOT stroke the pedal past 1/2 of the master cylin-
der full stroke.  When valve is closed your helper 
should release pedal and pull pedal up with toe.  
The objective is to limit brake pedal travel.

Note:

Stroking the pedal past the normal operating

range on a used master cylinder can cause premature
failure of the master cylinder.

D:

Continue until burnt fluid is gone.

E:

Check master cylinder (top off fluid level).

F:

Repeat process on left rear caliper.

G:

Top off master cylinder again.

H:

Repeat steps on front right and then front left.

I:

Front calipers have two bleeder valves.  Bleed out-
side valve first, then inside valve.

J:

All cars leave the plant with Brembo Brake Fluid. If
you are not using Brembo fluid, be sure to complete-
ly flush the system.  DO NOT MIX FLUIDS.

K:

From driver's seat; far left master cylinder is for the 
clutch, middle cylinder is for the rear brakes, and the
far right cylinder is for the front brakes.

Note:

Clutch Master cylinder size is 1”, rear master

cylinder size is 1”, front master cylinder is 7/8”

from the apex between the floor and the footwell
panels.

5.

Center balance bar bearing position in brake pedal

tube at rest, when using PFC 97 compound pads
on current disc brand, +1.25 turns (5 clicks) of
front brake.

6.

Bleed front and rear circuits at the same time.

If you have a brake bias gauge set, here is a good
setting to start with:

• Push the brake pedal to achieve 600 psi on the front

circuit.

• The rear should read 400 psi.

• Each click of the bias control should give you

approximately  20 psi change.

Make adjustments at the track for track
conditions,weight distribution, and weather conditions.
