NOTE:

Pressure bleeding is recommended to bleed the base brake system to be sure all air is removed from system. Manual bleeding may also be used, but additional time is needed to remove all the air from the system.

For brake fluid type. Refer to CAPACITIES AND RECOMMENDED FLUIDS, SPECIFICATIONS .

Remove reservoir filler caps and fill reservoir.
If calipers were overhauled, open all caliper bleed screws. Then close each bleed screw as fluid starts to drip from it. Top off master cylinder reservoir once more before proceeding.
Attach one end of bleed hose (1) to bleed screw and insert opposite end in glass container (2) partially filled with brake fluid. Be sure end of bleed hose is immersed in fluid.
NOTE:
Bleed procedure should be in this order: (1) Right rear, (2) Left rear, (3) Right front, and (4) Left front.
Open up bleeder, then have a helper press down the brake pedal. Once the pedal is down, hold the pedal down while closing the bleeder. Repeat bleeding until fluid stream is clear and free of bubbles. Then move to the next wheel.
Before moving the vehicle verify the pedal is firm and not soft.
Top off the brake fluid and install the reservoir cap.
