Note:
- During pumping, the level of brake fluid in the reservoir should not fall below 3/4 of the set level.
- With any disconnection of the brake pipes, it is necessary to bleed the entire system. If the brake pipe was disconnected from the master brake cylinder, start pumping from the wheel cylinder farthest from the master, then go to the next most distant wheel cylinder and pump all four wheel cylinders in this way. If the brake pipe was disconnected elsewhere, start bleeding from the wheel cylinder closest to the pipe disconnection, go to the next wheel cylinder closest to the disconnection, and bleed all four wheel cylinders in this way.
1. Jack up the car and place it on stands.
2. Remove the cap from the bleeder fitting and put a transparent vinyl hose on the fitting (the location of the fittings is shown in the figure).

3. Dip the other end of the hose into a clear container to drain the brake fluid.
4. One worker must press the brake pedal several times and keep the pedal depressed.
5. Another worker, using a special tool, loosens the bleeder fitting and, after the fluid passes into the brake fluid drain tank, tightens the fitting.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until no more air bubbles appear in the outgoing brake fluid.
7. Check the correct operation of the brakes.
8. Check for brake fluid leaks.
Attention: if brake fluid leaks, remove it immediately.
9. After bleeding the brake system, bring the brake fluid level to the maximum.
