BLEEDING
THE
HYDRAULIC
SYSTEM

The
hydraulic
system
must
be
bled
if
the
circuit
has
been

opened
at

any
point
or
if

the
level
of
the
fluid
in
the
master

cylinder
reservoir
has
fallen
too

low
allowing
air
to
enter

the

system

Bleeding
is

usually
a
two
man

operation
as
assistance
will

be

required
to
work
the
brake

pedal
The
master

cylinder

reservoir
must
be

topped

up
constantly
throughout
the

operation

whilst
a
check
is
carried
out
on

the
fluid

expelled

Bleeding
should
be
carried
out
at
the
master

cylinder
nrst

then
from
the
brake
furthest

away
from
the
master

cylinder

and

working
round

finally
to

the
brake
nearest
to
the
master

cylinder
Bleeding
should
therefore
be
carried
out

in
the
follow

ing
order
Rear

Attach
a
suitable
hose
to
the
bleed
screw
and

place
the

free
end
of

the
hose
in
a

glass
jar
containing
brake
fluid

Open
the
bleed
screw
and

depress
the
brake

pedal
to
allow

the
fluid
to
enter
the

glass
container

Tighten
the
bleed
screw

when
the

pedal
is
fully
depressed
and
allow
the

pedal
to
return

Repeat
the

procedure
until
the
fluid
is

completely
free

from
air
bubbles
then

carry
out
the
same
operation
on
the

other
three
wheels

Top
up
the
fluid
in
the
reservoir
to
the
