Pressure Brake Bleeding

PRESSURE BLEEDING

Special Tools:






Use Mopar brake fluid, or an equivalent quality fluid meeting SAE J1703-F and DOT 3 standards only. Use fresh, clean fluid from a sealed container at all times.

Fill the master cylinder reservoir with brake fluid prior to connecting pressure bleeder.

Fill the bleeder tank with recommended fluid and purge air from the tank lines before bleeding.

NOTE: Follow the manufacturers instructions carefully when using pressure equipment. Do not exceed the tank manufacturers pressure recommendations. Generally, a tank pressure of 51-67 kPa (15-20 psi) is sufficient for bleeding.

Connect the pressure bleeder to the master cylinder using adapter provided with the equipment or MASTER CYLINDER CAP.

When pressure bleeding, a helper is needed inside the vehicle.

Bleed only one brake component at a time beginning with the rear brake caliper furthest from the master cylinder, then the other rear caliper, followed by the furthest front caliper from the master cylinder and finishing with the closest to the master cylinder as follows:





1. Attach one end of a clear bleed hose (1) to the bleed screw and insert the opposite end in a suitable container (2).
2. Open the bleeder and have the helper pump the brake pedal multiple times, until the fluid stream is clear and free of air bubbles, then with the brake pedal pushed, tighten the bleeder screw.
3. Repeat step 2 on each wheel until all are complete.
4. Remove the bleeder hose, and the pressure bleeder from the master cylinder.

NOTE: If the Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) was replaced, the ABS System Bleeding procedure must now be preformed Service and Repair .

5. Verify the brake pedal is operating properly.
