Rear Brakes

CAUTION: When bleeding rear brakes, accumulator pressure (about 3100 psi) is used to assist in procedure. Use eye protection when performing this procedure. DO NOT allow pump to run longer than 2 minutes. See ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS in this article.

Attach hose and container to right rear bleeder screw. Position actuator lever on load-sensing pressure regulator toward rear of vehicle. Depress brake pedal and turn ignition on. Open bleeder screw and allow fluid to exit until no air is present in fluid. Close bleeder screw. Turn ignition off and release brake pedal. Perform same procedure for left rear brake. Ensure fluid level does not go below minimum level mark.
