Fill the brake master cylinder reservoir to the MAX mark as necessary.
CAUTION: Make a note of the position of the brake caliper bleed nipple shields. Failure to follow this instruction may result in damage to the vehicle.
Remove the bleed nipple rubber cover (s).
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
Open the bleed nipple half a turn.
Slowly apply the brake pedal to its maximum travel (this forces brake fluid into the bleed jar).
Close the bleed nipple.
Return the brake pedal to the rest position.
Wait 2 seconds to allow the brake fluid to replenish the system.
Fill up the brake master cylinder reservoir to the MAX mark as necessary.
Continue to bleed the circuit until air-free brake fluid is pumped into the jar.
Tighten the bleed nipple to 14 Nm.
Install the bleed nipple cover (s) and tighten to 5 Nm.
