Pressure Bleeding Procedure

  1. Install Bleeder Adapter (J-29567) to brake master cylinder. Pressurize bleeder to 20-25 psi (1.41-1.76 kg/cm2 ). Connect bleeder hose to adapter, and bleed air from adapter.
  2. Raise and support vehicle. A manual override is necessary to permit brake fluid flow to front wheels when pressure bleeding. To enable override, attach Combination Valve Pressure Bleeder Adapter (J-39177) to combination valve.
  3. Raise and support vehicle. Starting at right rear wheel, place proper size box end wrench over bleeder valve. Attach one end of clear tube over valve and submerge other end in container partially filled with clean brake fluid.
  4. Loosen bleeder valve to purge air from cylinder. Tighten bleeder valve when air bubbles are no longer seen in tube. Repeat sequence until all air is removed.
  5. Remove tube and wrench. Proceed to left rear wheel, right front wheel and finish at left front wheel. Remove bleeder adapter, fill master cylinder and replace reservoir cap.
