Hydraulic Brake System Bleeding (Pressure Bleeding)

^ Tools Required
- J 29532 Diaphragm Type Brake Bleeder
- J 35589 Pressure Bleeder Adapter Cap
- J 21472 Brake Bleeder Wrench

Notice: Pressure bleeding equipment must be of the diaphragm type. It must have a rubber diaphragm between the air supply and the brake fluid to prevent air, moisture, oil and other contaminants from entering the hydraulic system.





1. Install the J 35589 to the master cylinder (1).
2. Charge the J29532 to 140-172 kPa (20-25 psi).
3. Connect the line to the J 35589.
4. Open the line valve.
5. Raise the vehicle. Support the vehicle.
