Brake Caliper Bleeding
NOTE:
It is not necessary to bleed the entire brake system. It is possible to bleed only the opened part of the system.
- Connect one end of a clear flexible hose to the caliper screw. Submerge the other end in a container partially filled with the specified brake fluid.
- Have an assistant pump and then hold firm pressure on the brake pedal.
- Open the brake caliper bleeder screw until brake fluid flows into the container.
- When fluid stops flowing, close the bleeder screw.
- For front brake calipers, tighten to 13 Nm (10 lb-ft)
- For rear brake calipers, tighten to 20 Nm (15 lb-ft)
- Repeat the previous 3 steps until there are no air bubbles in the brake fluid.
