Conventional Brake System
CAUTION:- Always use DOT 3 Brake Fluid. Using a non-DOT 3 brake fluid can cause corrosion and decrease the life of the system.
- Make sure no dirt or other foreign matter is allowed to contaminate the brake fluid.
- Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle, it may damage the paint; if brake fluid does contact the paint, wash it off immediately with water.
NOTE:
- The reservoir on the master cylinder must be full at the start of bleeding procedure, and checked after bleeding each brake caliper. Add fluid as required. Always use DOT 3 Brake Fluid. Using a non-DOT 3 brake fluid can cause corrosion and decrease the life of the system.
1. Attach wrench to bleeder screw.
2. Connect a flexible tube to the bleeder valve. Place the other end of the tube in a clean, clear glass jar, partially filled with clean brake fluid.
3. Have someone slowly pump the brake pedal several times, then apply steady pressure.
4. Loosen the brake bleed screw to allow air to escape from the system. Then tighten the bleed screw securely.
NOTE: Avoid releasing the pedal until the bleeder screw is closed.
5. Repeat the procedure for each wheel in the sequence shown, until air bubbles no longer appear in the fluid.
