Pressure Bleeding Procedure
Follow the pressure bleeder manufacturer's instructions for use of the pressure bleeding equipment.
- Install (special tool #6921, Cap, Master Cylinder) on the master cylinder fluid reservoir. Attach the fluid hose from the pressure bleeder to the fitting on (special tool #6921, Cap, Master Cylinder).
- Attach a clear plastic hose (1) to the bleeder screw and feed the hose into a clear jar (2) containing enough fresh brake fluid to submerge the end of the hose.
- Open the bleeder screw at least one full turn or more to obtain a steady stream of brake fluid.
- After approximately 120-240 ml (4-8 ounces) of fluid have been bled through the brake circuit and an air-free flow is maintained in the clear plastic hose and jar, close the bleeder screw.
- Repeat this procedure at all the remaining bleeder screws.
- Check and adjust brake fluid level to the FULL mark on the reservoir.
- Check brake pedal travel and feel. If pedal travel is excessive or if the pedal feels excessively spongy, some air may still be trapped in the system. Re-bleed the brakes as necessary including the IPB Caliper Brake Bleeding Procedure on the rear calipers as listed below.
- Test drive the vehicle to verify the brakes are operating properly and pedal feel is correct.
