Manual Bleeding

Manually Bleeding The Wheel Circuits:





1. Make sure the ignition is OFF and deplete the vacuum reserve by applying the brakes several times.

2. Fill the master cylinder with DOT 3 brake fluid. During bleeding, keep the master cylinder at least one-half full at all times.

3. Bleed the system according to the brake bleeding procedure.

4. Check the brake pedal for a "spongy" feeling, and repeat the bleeding procedure as necessary.

5. Properly dispose of all fluid bled from the brake system.
