• Make sure the bleed tube is firmly attached to the bleed nipple.
• Submerge the end of the bleed tube in a bleed jar containing a small quantity of approved brake fluid.
• Position the bleed jar base at least 300 mm (12 in) above the bleed nipple to maintain fluid pressure and prevent air leaking past the bleed nipple threads.
• Position the brake caliper with the piston facing down and the bleed nipple at the top.
• Open the bleed nipple half a turn.
• Using the special tool, fully retract the caliper piston.
• Close the bleed nipple.
• Repeat the above procedure twice.
• Fill up the brake master cylinder reservoir to the MAX mark as necessary.
• Continue to bleed the caliper using the above procedure until air-free brake fluid is pumped into the jar.
• Fully tighten the bleed nipple.
• Make sure the piston grooves are aligned to fit the brake pad peg when the caliper is assembled. |
