Group: Brakes
Bulletin No.: ASN 1188-06
Date: November, 1988
SERVICE INFORMATION
Pull out your February, 1988 issue of Service News and turn to the article "Weak ALB Kickback at PDI." Under step 5, write in the word "firmly," so that the step reads "...depress te brake pedal firmly,..." Having enough pressure on the pedal is important for this procedure to work correctly.
It's also worth noting that this bleeding procedure is now recommended anytime you need to bleed air from the ALB system. In fact, both the 1989 Legend Service Manuals now give this procedure instead of the old, time-consuming one.
