General Description

CAUTION: Brake fluid is extremely damaging to paint. If fluid should accidentally touch a painted surface, immediately wipe fluid from paint and clean the painted surface.

A bleeding operation is necessary to remove air whenever it is introduced into the hydraulic brake system. It may be necessary to bleed the hydraulic system at all four brakes if air has been introduced by a low fluid condition or by disconnecting brake pipes at master cylinder or Brake Pressure Modulator (BPM) valve. If a brake pipe is disconnected at any wheel then only that caliper need be bled. If pipes are disconnected at any fitting located between master cylinder and brakes then the brake system served by the disconnected pipe must be bled.
