TORQUE: 5.5 N-m (0.55 kg-m, 4 ft-lb)

If the brake bleeder is available, perform the following procedurę.

Connect the Mityvac Brake Bleeder to the bleed valve.

NOTĘ

•    Check the fluid level often while bleeding the brakes to pre-vent air from being pumped into the system.

•    Do not mix brake fluid types and never reuse the contami nated fluid which has been pumped out during air bleeding. because this will impair the efficiency of the brake system.

•    When using a brake bleeding tool, follow the manufactur-er’s operating instructions.

Pump the brake bleeder and loosen the bleed valve.

Add fluid when the fluid level in the master cylinder is Iow. Repeat the procedures above until no air bubbles appear in the plastic hose.

NOTĘ

• If air is entering the bleeder from around the bleed valve threads, seal the threads with teflon tape.

Fili the reservoir with Dot 3 or 4 brake fluid to the casting ledge level.

Reinstall the diaphragm and master cylinder cap.

Awarning

• A contaminated brake disc or pad reduces stopping power. Discard contaminated pads and clean a contaminated disc with a high guality brake degreasing agent.
