BRAKE FLUID
BLEEDING
HINT: If any work is done on the brake system or if air is suspected in the brake lines, bleed the air from the system.
NOTICE: Do not let brake fluid remain on a painted surface. Wash it off immediately.
1. FILL RESERVOIR WITH BRAKE FLUID
a) Check the fluid level in the reservoir after bleeding each wheel. Add fluid, if necessary.
Fluid: SAE J1703 or FMVSS No. 116 DOT 3
2. BLEED BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER
HINT: If the master cylinder was disassembled or if the reservoir becomes empty, bleed the air from the master cylinder.
a) Disconnect the brake lines from the master cylinder.
SST 09751-36011
b) Slowly depress the brake pedal and hold it.
c) Block off the outlet plug with your finger, and release the brake pedal.
d) Repeat (b) and (c) 3 or 4 times.
3. BLEED BRAKE LINE
a) Connect the vinyl tube to the caliper.
b) Depress the brake pedal several times, then loosen the bleeder plug with the pedal held down.
c) At the point when fluid stops coming out, tighten the bleeder plug, then release the brake pedal.
Torque: 11 Nm (110 kgf-cm, 8 ft. lbs.)
d) Repeat (b) and (c) until all the air in the fluid has been bled out.
e) Repeat the procedure on the previous page to bleed the air out of brake line for each wheel.
4. CHECK BRAKE FLUID LEVEL IN RESERVOIR
a) Check the fluid level and add fluid if necessary.

- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
