  2. Open valve on bleeder tank to pressurize system. Maintain system pressure at less than 50 psi (3.5 kg/cm2 ). With brake pedal released, open bleeder screw until air bubbles no longer emerge from submerged end of hose.
  3. Repeat procedure at left rear, right front and left front wheels. When complete, close pressure bleeder tank valve. Remove adapter and adjust fluid level to .16" (4.1 mm) below MAX line. Tighten bleeder screws to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  .
