Pressure Bleeding Procedure

  1. Fill master cylinder reservoir with fluid to full mark. Install Bleeder Adapter (J-35589) to brake master cylinder. Pressurize bleeder to 20-25 psi (1.41-1.76 kg/cm2 ). Connect bleeder hose to adapter and bleed air from adapter.
  2. Raise and support vehicle. Remove bleeder valve cap from right rear wheel. Place proper size box end wrench over bleeder valve. Attach one end of clear tube over valve and submerge other end in container partially filled with clean brake fluid.
  3. Loosen bleeder valve at least 3/4 turn to purge air from cylinder. Tighten bleeder valve when air is no longer present in tube. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . Repeat procedure until all air is removed.
  4. Remove tube and wrench. Install bleeder valve cap. Fill master cylinder reservoir with fluid. Proceed to right rear, left rear and right front wheels in sequence. Remove bleeder adapter. Ensure there is no sponginess in brake pedal and that BRAKE warning indicator is off.
