Pressure Bleeding

Master Cylinder Pressure Bleeding Adapter:

NOTE: Pressure bleeding equipment must be of the diaphragm type. It must have a rubber diaphragm between the air supply and the brake fluid to prevent air, moisture, oil and other contaminants from entering the hydraulic system.

1. Install J 35589 to the master cylinder.
2. Charge J 29532 to 140-172 kPa (20-25 psi).
3. Connect line to J 35589 and open line valve.
4. Raise vehicle and suitably support.
5. If it is necessary to bleed all of the calipers/cylinders, the following sequence should be followed:
Right rear
Left rear
Right front
Left front
6. Place a proper size box end wrench (or J 21472) over the caliper/cylinder bleeder valve.
7. Attach a clear tube over the bleeder screw. Submerge the other end of the tube in a clear container partially filled with clean brake fluid.
8. Open the bleeder screw at least 3/4 of a turn and allow flow to continue until no air is seen in the fluid.
9. Close the bleeder screw.Tighten Rear bleeder screws to 7 Nm (62 inch lbs.) and Front bleeder screws to 13 Nm (115 inch lbs.)
10. Repeat Steps 6 through 9 until all calipers/cylinders have been bled.
11. Lower vehicle.
12. Check the brake pedal for "sponginess." Repeat entire bleeding procedure to correct either of these two conditions.
13. Remove J 35589 and J 29532.
