System Bleeding Procedure

CAUTION: Brake fluid is extremely damaging to paint. If fluid should accidentally touch painted surface, immediately wipe fluid
from paint and clean painted surface.

NOTE: When master cylinder has removed or disassembled, or brake pipe has been disconnected from master cylinder, bleed air from master cylinder to facilitate bleeding air of brake system. Then proceed to following operation.
Bleeding operation is necessary to remove air wherever it entered hydraulic brake system.
Hydraulic lines of brake system consists of two separate lines, one for front wheel brakes and the other for rear wheel brakes. Air bleeding is necessary at right and left front wheel brakes and left rear wheel brake, i.e. 3 places in all. Be sure to bleed air of brake system according to procedure when its oil hydraulic circuit has been disconnected.





1) Fill master cylinder reservoir with brake fluid and keep at least one-half full of fluid during bleeding operation.
2) Remove bleeder plug cap.

Attach a vinyl tube to bleeder plug of wheel cylinder, and insert the other end into container.





3) Depress brake pedal several times, and then while holding it depressed, loosen bleeder plug about one-third to one half turn.





4) When fluid pressure in the cylinder is almost depleted, retighten bleeder plug.





5) Repeat this operation until there are no more air bubbles in hydraulic line.
6) When bubbles stop, depress and hold brake pedal and tighten bleeder plug.

Tightening torque:
Front caliper: 9.0 Nm (6.5 ft lb)
Rear Cylinder: 8.0 Nm (6.0 ft lb)

7) Then attach bleeder plug cap.





8) After completing bleeding operation, apply fluid pressure to pipe line and check for leakage.
