- Bleed the master cylinder (sometimes called "bench bleeding" but can be done while installed in the car)
- Bleed the front wheel cylinders
- Bleed the rear wheel cylinders
Method 1
The fluid prevents air from going back up into the cylinder.
- Put about 1" new fluid in a clear glass
- put a hose from the bleeder to the bottom of the glass, making sure the new fluid covers end of hose
- Crack the bleeder slightly
- pump the brake pedal while you watch the glass. When air bubbles stop coming out, it's done.
- tighten bleeder
- top-up the master cylinder
- bleed the next wheel cylinder
Method 2
Discussion: Bleeding the brakes.....on your own
Traditional Method
- loosen bleeder
- push brake pedal down and hold it down
- tighten bleeder
- let brake pedal up
