Manual Bleeding

NOTE: When bleeding disc brakes, air may tend to cling to caliper walls. Lightly tap caliper, while bleeding, to aid in removal of this air.
  1. Fill master cylinder, then install bleeder hose to first bleeder valve to be serviced. See BLEEDING SEQUENCE TABLE . Submerge other end of hose in clean glass jar partially filled with clean brake fluid.
  2. Open bleeder valve %-1 turn. Depress brake pedal slowly through full travel. Close bleeder valve, then release pedal. Repeat procedure until flow of fluid shows no signs of air bubbles.
