wheel nearest the master cylinder.
Always keep a careful check on the
reservoir during bleeding, since it is
most important that a full level is
maintained. Should
air
reach the
master cylinder from the reservoir,
the whole operation of bleeding must
be repeated.
After bleeding, top up the reservoir to
its correct level of approximately three-
quarters full.
Never use fluid that has just been bled
from a brake system for topping up the
reservoir, since this fluid may be to
some extent aerated.
Great cleanliness is essential when
dealing with any part of the hydraulic
system, and especially so where
thc
brake fluid is concerned.
Dirty
fluid
must never be added to the system.
