How to Bleed Hydraulic Brakes?
1 Answers
The steps for bleeding hydraulic brakes are as follows: First, press the brake pedal 5 to 6 times consecutively, then hold it down. Immediately loosen the air bleeder screw on the right rear wheel brake caliper and quickly tighten it again. Repeat this process until all air is expelled from the brake fluid through the bleeder screws on all wheels. The sequence for bleeding should be right rear wheel, left rear wheel, right front wheel, left front wheel, and finally the clutch master cylinder. While bleeding, ensure that the reservoir above the brake master cylinder never runs low on brake fluid; it must remain full at all times. The clutch master cylinder is also connected to the brake system, so it requires bleeding as well. Press the clutch pedal, loosen the bleeder bolt on the clutch master cylinder to allow dirty fluid to escape, then retighten the bolt. At this point, the clutch pedal will feel very loose and may not return; simply lift it with your foot and continue pressing.
