Pressure Bleeding Diagonal System

  1. Charge pressure tank with 10-30 psi. DO NOT exceed 50 psi. Clean any dirt from brake fluid reservoir cap. Fill reservoir to MAX with DOT 3 brake fluid.
    CAUTION: Reservoir MUST remain at least 3/4 full throughout bleeding procedure. Refill reservoir as necessary while bleeding. Ensure brake fluid DOES NOT contact paint or rubber parts. If it does, flush with water IMMEDIATELY.
  2. Install bleeder adapter tool on master cylinder reservoir and attach hose from bleeder tank to fitting on adapter. Open valve on bleeder tank.
  3. To bleed master cylinder, loosen then tighten brake line fittings one at a time. Allow fluid to flow several seconds before tightening each fitting. Repeat operation to ensure air is removed from master cylinder.
  4. Remove bleeder screw cap from left front caliper. Fit wrench on bleeder screw and attach hose to bleeder screw. Submerge free end of hose in container partially filled with DOT 3 brake fluid.
  5. Loosen bleeder screw about 3/4 turn. Allow fluid to run until it is clear of air bubbles. Repeat procedure until no air bubbles appear at submerged end of bleeder hose.
  6. Repeat previous steps at right front caliper and rear wheel cylinders in sequence. See BRAKELINE BLEEDING SEQUENCE  table. After bleeding process, if pedal feels spongy, repeat bleeding procedure.
