WARNING: BRAKE FLUID CONTAINS POLYGLYCOL ETHERS AND POLYGLYCOLS. AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES. WASH HANDS THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING. IF BRAKE FLUID CONTACTS EYES, FLUSH EYES WITH RUNNING WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IF IRRITATION PERSISTS. IF TAKEN INTERNALLY, DRINK WATER AND INDUCE VOMITING. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.

CAUTION: Do not allow the brake master cylinder reservoir to run dry during the bleeding operation. Keep the brake master cylinder reservoir filled with the specified brake fluid. Never reuse brake fluid that has been drained from the hydraulic system.

CAUTION: Brake fluid is harmful to painted and plastic surfaces. If brake fluid is spilled onto a painted or plastic surface, immediately wash it with water.

NOTE: When any part of the hydraulic system has been disconnected for repair or replacement, air may enter the system, causing spongy brake pedal action. This requires the bleeding of the hydraulic system after it has been properly connected. The hydraulic system can be bled manually or with pressure bleeding equipment Brake Bleeder 104-00064 or equivalent.

1. Support the brake master cylinder body in a vise, and fill the brake master cylinder reservoir with specified brake fluid.
2. Install plugs in the front and rear brake outlet ports.
3. Loosen the plug in the front outlet port and slowly depress the primary piston.
4. Tighten the plug in the front outlet port and release the primary piston.
5. Repeat this procedure until clear, bubble-free brake fluid flows.
6. Repeat steps 3, 4, and 5 for the rear outlet port with the front outlet port plugged.
7. Tighten the plugs and attempt to depress the primary piston. The piston will not depress if all the air is bled out of the system.
8. Install the brake master cylinder in the vehicle.
9. Bleed the hydraulic system. Refer To Brakes - Service and Repair.
