SPECIAL TOOL REQUIRED (Or Equivalent)
^ J-35798, Bleeder adaptor.

PRESSURE BLEEDING
Only the rear brakes must be pressure bled. Front hydraulic circuits may be bled manually. To prevent air, moisture and other contaminants from entering system, only diaphragm type pressure bleeding equipment should be used.

FRONT CIRCUIT
1. Ignition must be turned "OFF" and remain "OFF" throughout this procedure..
2. Depressurize hydraulic accumulator by pumping the brake pedal a minimum of 25 times using a pedal force of approximately 220 N (50 lbs). A noticeable change in pedal feel will occur when the accumulator is depressurized.
3. Remove reservoir cap and install J-35798.
4. Attach diaphragm type bleeding equipment to bleeder adapter and charge pressure bleeder to 138 kPa (20 psi).
5. Raise and support vehicle. Attach a clear bleeder hose to a front bleeder valve, then submerse the other end in a clear container partially filled with DOT 3 brake fluid.
6. Open bleeder valve and allow fluid to flow from bleeder until fluid is clear with no air bubbles.
7. Close bleeder valve, ensuring bleeder seats in the closed position.
8. Repeat steps 5 through 7 on remaining front bleeder valve.
9. Check fluid level and fill as required.

WARNING: Using brake Fluid which is contaminated with water, petroleum based fluids or any other foreign material may result in impaired system operation, property damage or personal injury.

10. Check pedal for sponginess. Repeat procedure until desired pedal is achieved.
11. Remove bleeding equipment and install reservoir cap.
12. Turn ignition "ON" and allow pump to charge the accumulator.

REAR CIRCUIT
1. Fill brake fluid reservoir with DOT 3 brake fluid. Keep reservoir at least half full during procedure.
2. Turn ignition switch to the "ON" position and allow system to charge. Pump motor will stop when system is charged.
3. Raise and support vehicle. Attach a clear bleeder hose to rear bleeder valve, then submerse the other end in a clear container partially filled with DOT 3 brake fluid.
4. Open bleeder valve and with ignition switch in the "ON" position, depress brake pedal for at least 10 seconds. Do not allow pump to run more than 60 seconds at a time. If pump must be run longer than 60 seconds, allow pump to cool between 60 second runs.
5. Allow fluid to flow from bleeder until fluid is clear with no air bubbles.
6. Close bleeder valve, then repeat steps 2 through 5 on remaining rear bleeder valve.
7. Lower vehicle. Check reservoir fluid level and fill as required.
8. Check pedal for sponginess. If condition exists, repeat procedure until desired pedal is achieved. Do NOT move vehicle until a firm brake pedal is achieved.
