BLEEDING BRAKES
We strongly recommend that you use a pressure bleeder with a rubber bladder that separates the air side from the fluid side. If this is not possible follow the following procedure:
Pumping will only aerate the fluid and prevent complete bleeding. Complete your bleeding procedure all the way around the car. Bleed each caliper until clear, air-less fluid comes out of each bleeder screw. When finished be sure to run master cylinder only 3/4 full of fluid.
- Fill the master cylinder reservoir 3/4 full with clean, fresh brake fluid.
- Push and hold the pedal down.
- Open the bleeder valve on the caliper, or wheel cylinder, until fluid is released. If you are bleeding a Dual Cylinder Brake Pedal Assembly you will need to open a bleeder screw on the front brakes and the rear brakes at the same time.
- Close the bleeder valve and release pedal.
- Wait three to five seconds and repeat.
