2. Charge bleeder ball to 20-25 PSI (140-173 kPa).
3. Connect line to adapter and open line valve.
4. Raise vehicle and suitably support.
5. Attach bleeder hose to bleeder valve and submerge opposite end in clean container partially filled with brake fluid.
6. Open bleeder valve 1/2 to 3/4 turn and allow fluid to flow until no air is seen in fluid.
7. Bleeding sequence:
a. Right rear
b. Left front
c. Left rear
