14. BLEED BRAKE LINE |
- NOTICE:
- Bleed the brake line of the wheel farthest from the master cylinder first.
- Add brake fluid to keep the level between the MIN and MAX lines of the reservoir while bleeding the brakes.
Connect a vinyl tube to the bleeder plug.
Depress the brake pedal several times, and then loosen the bleeder plug with the pedal depressed*1.
When fluid stops coming out, tighten the bleeder plug, and then release the brake pedal*2.
Repeat *1 and *2 until all the air in the fluid is completely bled out.
