with brake fluid (Fig. 3). Be sure end of hose is
immersed in fluid.
4. Have an assistant pump the brake pedal 4-5
times, and then hold the brake pedal down.

let the air out. Close the bleeder and then
release the brake pedal.

PRESSURE BLEEDING
1. Follow the bleeder unit instructions for
attachment and usage.
2. Always ensure that the brake fluid reservoir in
the master cylinder is kept at the MAX fill line
while bleeding.
3. Bleed the system at all four wheels. Starting at
the right rear and continue on to left rear, then
right front, then left front.
4. After bleeding all four wheels, apply pressure to
the brake pedal. Pedal should have a firm feel
and not contact the floor even under maximum
effort. If pedal feels mushy, or makes contact
with the floor, repeat steps 1-3.
5. Check the bleed screws and hose/line
connections for leaks.
6. Double check brake fluid level in master
cylinder reservoir, and fill if necessary.
7. Test drive the vehicle to ensure that the brakes
work properly, and vehicle does not pull during
braking.
