Bleeding Brake System

NOTE: Use only DOT 4 grade brake fluid.
  1. Fill brake fluid reservoir to MAX level. Connect hoses to both bleed valves on left rear wheel. Submerge hoses in bottle containing brake fluid. Both hoses must be below brake fluid surface.
  2. Open bleed valves. Have an assistant slowly pump brake pedal 5 times, holding pedal down on last depression stroke. No air bubbles should be visible after last stroke. Close all bleeders.
  3. Check brake fluid level after each open-and-close cycle of bleeders. Bleed remaining wheels in the following order: right rear, left front and right front.
