Bleeding Brake System: BRAKELINES

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Toyota Prius, 2002 Toyota Prius, and 2001 Toyota Prius. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: Bleed brakes from farthest wheel first to closest wheel.

Install bleeder hose with container of clean brake fluid on wheel cylinder or caliper. Depress brake pedal several times and hold, then loosen bleeder valve. Tighten bleeder valve when fluid flow stops, then release brake pedal. Repeat until air bubbles are no longer present for each wheel.
