      Note

      Make sure that there is sufficient brake fluid in the reservoir.

  15. BLEED BRAKE LINE

    Note


    • 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.


    1. Depress the brake pedal several times, and then loosen the bleeder plug with the pedal depressed*1.

    2. When fluid stops coming out, tighten the bleeder plug, and then release the brake pedal*2.

    3. Repeat *1 and *2 until all the air in the fluid is completely bled out.

    4. Tighten the bleeder plug completely.

      Torque:
      front bleeder plug
