Pressure Bleeding

Master cylinders may be bled manually or by pressure bleeding. It is recommended that the master cylinder be bled before bleeding the wheel cylinders and calipers.

PRESSURE BLEEDING
1. Ensure master cylinder reservoir is full. Add suitable brake fluid as needed.
2. Install pressure bleeder according to manufacturer specifications.
3. Position a drain pan under the master cylinder.
4. Loosen brake lines, or bleeder valves if equipped, at the master cylinder. Watch for air bubbles in the fluid and listen for air escaping from the system.
5. Retighten brake lines or bleeder valves.
6. Bleed the master cylinder until all air is removed. Upon completion of bleeding, proceed as follows:
a. Ensure the master cylinder reservoir is full. Add suitable brake fluid as needed, and securely reinstall the master cylinder cap.
b. Ensure brake pedal is firm, and braking operation is proper.
