BLEEDING THE BRAKES
For Master Cylinder Replacement
1. Add oil after master cylinder replacement.
2. Run the engine and depress the brake pedal several times
to build pressure and then keep the pedal fully depressed.
3. Loosen the screws of primary and secondary pipe at the
master cylinder outlets to bleed air.
4. Repeat above step No.3 several times until there are no
more air bubbles.
5. Bleed air in the system at the hydraulic unit outlet pipe and
wheel if pressure building is not enough by depressing the
pedal only after above air bleeding.
For Caliper and Brake Hose Replacement
1. Check the oil level from the oil reservoir and refill if necessary.
2. Run the engine and depress the pedal several times to
build pressure and then keep the pedal fully depressed.
3. Connect a vinyl tube to the caliper breather and prepare a
container to coentain brake oil.
4. Loosen the breather screw until there are no more bubbles.
5. Bleed air in the system at four (4) wheels in order as shown
in right figure if pressure building is not enough by depressing
the pedal after above air bleeding.
