Pressure Bleeding

SPECIAL TOOL REQUIRED (or equivalent)
^ J-39177, Combination valve depressing tool.

PROCEDURE
1. Install pressure bleeder per manufacturers instructions.
2. Install J-39177 if the vehicle is equipped with the metering portion of the combination valve. Remove both dust caps on the combination valve. Install the tool on the end of the combination valve with a brass center pin.
3. Bleed all four wheels beginning at the right rear wheel, then the left rear, right front and left front. Leave the bleed screws open until 1 pint of fluid has been bled out of each wheel.
4. After bleeding all four wheels, remove the combination valve clip. Use a Scan Tool to run 4 functional tests while applying the brake pedal firmly.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 3 then evaluate the pedal feel.
6. Rebleed the wheels as many times as necessary to obtain good pedal feel before attempting to drive the vehicle. A good bleed will use approximately 2 to 3 quarts of brake fluid.

NOTE: Never reuse brake fluid after it has been bled through a brake system.
