Hydraulic System Bleeding
- Make sure master cylinder is full of fluid. Raise rear of vehicle and support with safety stands. Install a flexible tube on end of bleeder plug.
- Insert opposite end of tube in a container approximately half full of brake fluid. Pump clutch pedal several times and when fully depressed open bleeder plug one-third to one-half turn.
- With plug open, air in system will bleed into container causing air bubbles in fluid. Repeat procedure until air bubbles are no longer seen in fluid.
- Make sure bleeder plug is tight and install cap. Recheck fluid level in master cylinder. Check system for leaks after bleeding procedure is completed.
