Unassisted brake master cylinders
G . Bleeding the main brake circuit
Installation
NOTE: A male quick connector (3) is fitted as standard
on the 5 bar line of the left-hand hydraulic cover
(Fig. 13). It facilitates the bleeding of the pressurised
brake system.
7. Join the connector (3) to the connector (10) with a
locally made hose (2) fitted at each end with a
female connector ref.3582045M1 (Fig. 13).
8. Connect a transparent pipe to the right- and
left-hand bleed screws (1) of the centre
housing
(Fig. 12)
.
9. Immerse the ends of the two pipes into a container
partially filled with clean transmission oil.
10. Using soft pliers, pinch the return hose shut (1)
without flattening it excessively (
Fig. 13 ).
I
MPORTANT: Some hoses may be difficult to pinch
shut due to their rigid sheath. Consequently, it will
be necessary to disconnect the hose from
union (10) and temporarily replace it with a plug.
