Manual Bleeding: Brakelines

  1. Raise and support vehicle. Remove bleeder cap from right rear wheel bleeder valve. Attach hose to bleeder valve. Submerge other end of hose in container of clean brake fluid.
  2. Using Brake Bleeder Wrench (J-21472 or J-28434), loosen bleeder valve while an assistant depresses brake pedal to its full travel. Hold brake pedal in depressed position, and close bleeder valve.
    NOTE: Rapid pumping of brake pedal causes master cylinder secondary piston to move into a position that makes bleeding system difficult.
  3. Slowly release brake pedal. Wait 15 seconds, and then repeat operation until no air bubbles emerge from submerged end of hose. Repeat procedure for remaining wheels in following sequence: left rear, right front and then left front. Tighten bleeder valves to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  .
