Bleeding Procedure: Notes
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2004 Dodge Intrepid, 2004 Chrysler Intrepid, 2004 Chrysler Concorde, 2004 Chrysler 300M, and 2003 Dodge Intrepid. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
Before removing the master cylinder cover, wipe it clean to prevent dirt and other foreign matter from dropping into the master cylinder.
CAUTION:
Use only Mopar® brake fluid or an equivalent from a fresh, tightly sealed container. Brake fluid must conform to DOT 3 specifications.
NOTE:
For brake system bleeding procedures on vehicles with Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS), see appropriate ANTI-LOCK article.
NOTE:
Do not pump the brake pedal at any time while having a bleeder screw open during the bleeding process. This will only increase the amount of air in the system and make additional bleeding necessary.
NOTE:
Do not allow the master cylinder reservoir to run out of brake fluid while bleeding the system. An empty reservoir will allow additional air into the brake system. Check the fluid level frequently and add fluid as needed.
