- On level ground, jack up the vehicle and support it evenly on safety stands.
- Remove the bleeder cap and attach a vinyl tube to the bleeder screw. See Fig 1.
- Place the other end of the vinyl tube in a clear container.
- The first person depresses the brake pedal a few times, and then holds it in the depressed position.
- The second person loosens the bleeder screw, drains out the fluid and closes the bleeder screw.
- Repeat steps 4 and 5 until no air bubbles are seen. The reservoir should be kept about 3/4 full during bleeding to prevent air from reentering the lines.
- Inspect for correct brake operation.
- Verify that there is no fluid leakage. Wipe off any spilled fluid immediately.
- After bleeding the brakes, add brake fluid to the maximum level.
