Manual Brake Bleeding

  1. On all models, exhaust all vacuum from power unit by depressing brake pedal several times.
  2. Fill master cylinder. Install clear vinyl bleeder hose onto first bleeder valve to be serviced. See BRAKE LINE BLEEDING SEQUENCE table in this article. Place other end of hose in clean transparent container.
  3. Partially fill container with clean brake fluid so end of hose is submerged in brake fluid. Open bleeder valve 1-2 turns. Slowly depress brake pedal through its full travel.
  4. Close bleeder valve and release pedal. Pump pedal several time to push air toward wheel cylinders. Repeat procedure until flow of brake fluid is clear and shows no sign of air bubbles. Proceed to next bleeder valve and repeat procedure.
NOTE: Check fluid level in master cylinder frequently during the bleeding process to ensure master cylinder does not empty during the bleeding.
