Brake bleed
$% 70.25.02
Check
1.The following procedure covers bleeding the
complete system but where only the primary or
secondary circuit have been disturbed in
isolation, it should only be necessary to bleed
that system. Partial bleeding of the hydraulic
system is only permissible if a brake pipe or
hose has been disconnected with only minor
loss of fluid.
CAUTION: Ensure the fluid in the reservoir
is maintained between the minimum and
maximum levels throughout the bleed
procedure using new brake fluid.
Adjust
1.Raise front and rear of vehicle.
WARNING: Do not work on or under a
vehicle supported only by a jack. Always
support the vehicle on safety stands.
2.Check all pipe and hose connections are tight
and there are no signs of leakage.

8.Depress brake pedal steadily through its full
stroke and allow to return unassisted. Repeat
procedure until a flow of clean air-free fluid is
purged into container then, whilst holding pedal
at end of downward stroke tighten bleed screw
to 10 Nm (7.5 lbf.ft) on calipers and 8 Nm (6
lbf.ft) on wheel cylinders.
CAUTION: Ensure the fluid in the reservoir
is maintained between the minimum and
maximum levels throughout the bleed
procedure using new brake fluid.
