Bleeding Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Infiniti QX4 and 2002 Infiniti QX4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
Use only clean DOT 3 brake fluid. Ensure no dirt or other foreign matter contaminates brake fluid. DO NOT mix different brands of brake fluid, as they are not compatible. Avoid spilling brake fluid on car, as it will damage paint. If brake fluid contacts paint, immediately flush with water.
NOTE:
Check fluid level in master cylinder frequently during bleeding procedure.
NOTE:
On vehicles with Anti-Lock Brake system (ABS), turn ignition switch off and disconnect negative (-) battery cable.
- Reservoir on master cylinder must be full at start of bleeding procedure. Refill reservoir after bleeding each wheel. Bleed brake system in proper sequence. See BRAKELINE BLEEDING SEQUENCE table. Have an assistant slowly pump brake pedal several times then apply steady pressure. Loosen brake bleed screw to allow air to escape from system.
- Tighten bleed screw securely. Repeat procedure until air bubbles no longer appear in fluid. Road test vehicle and check brake performance.
