Bleed Brakes
Bleed the brake system using an 11mm wrench on the bleed screws:
- The sequence for bleeding the brakes should be:
1. Right outboard bleed screw
2. Right inboard bleed screw
3. Left outboard bleed screw
4. Left inboard bleed screw
After initially bleeding the system, gently tap the caliper body with a non-marring mallet or
hammer to dislodge any small air bubbles and re-bleed.
Note: The calipers and lines will need to fill with fluid, quickly draining the master cylinder reser-
voir. Keep a close watch on the fluid level when initially bleeding the system. Do not allow the
master cylinder reservoir to run dry and draw in air. Doing so may require the brake system to be
serviced by a certified brake technician.
After bleeding, apply a constant pressure to the brake pedal and check all connections,After bleeding, apply a constant pressure to the brake pedal and check all connections,

Complete installation on both sides of the vehicle before bleeding the system.
Though a torque wrench is typically NOT used on bleed screws, as a reference, torque for bleed
screws should be
100-140 INCH/P100-140 INCH/P

Because of the unusual angle of the caliper on some ve-
hicles, it may be necessary to use the following special
technique to bleed the brakes for the first time:
Remove both caliper bracket bolts leaving the caliper at-
tached to the bracket
Tilt the caliper to the vertical position shown and sup-
port the caliper so the pads are still over the rotor
Bleed the brakes
Reinstall caliper bracket bolts
Tighten both caliper bracket bolts to the specified torque
This special bleeding tecnique will not be required again
unless air becomes trapped in the calipers.
