Brake Fluid: Service and Repair

CHANGING BRAKE FLUID
1. Refer to air-bleeding procedures under Anti-lock Brake System.
2. Connect a vinyl tube to the bleeder screw of each wheel cylinder. Put the other end of the vinyl tube in a vessel for receiving the brake fluid.




3. With a vehicle equipped with ABS, refer to Anti-lock Brake System.
4. Depress the brake pedal a few times. Then loosen the bleeder screw (with the brake pedal still depressed), and tighten it after the brake fluid stops flowing.
5. Repeat the above operation until air bubbles are not in the brake fluid.
6. Repeat these steps for the other cylinders.




7. Add fresh brake fluid up to the "MAX" level in the reserve tank.
