BLEEDING THE REAR BRAKE
To bleed the air from the rear brake system,
follow the steps below:
- Remove the rubber cap C.
- Take off the clutch fluid reservoir cover.
- Fit one end of a small transparent tube
over the bleed-nipple D, and insert the
other end into a container.
- Pump 2/3 times with the brake pedal and
hold the pedal down.
- Unscrew the bleed-nipple, allowing the
fluid to flow through the tube.
- Reclose the bleed-nipple and release the
pedal.
- If bubbles of air are visible through the
tube, repeat the above operations until
the fluid that comes out is free of air.
Note
During this operation it is important to top up the
master-cylinder reservoir continually, to compen-
sate for the fluid which has been pumped out.
- Remove the small tube.
- Refit the rubber cap.
Note
Handle brake fluid with care: being corrosive, it
can damage painted or plastic parts irreparably.
