Pump the brake pedal 25-40 times. A
noticeable change is felt, continue to
pump the pedal a few additional times.
This should eliminate most system
pressure. Open fluid reservoir or brake
lines carefully. Top off reservoir fluid and
reconnect battery cable when finished.
BLEEDING ANTI-LOCK
BRAKE SYSTEMS
Always refer to the vehicle owner’s
manual or appropriate service manual for
manufacturer’s brake bleeding procedure.
The front brakes on most Anti-Lpck brake
systems may be bled in the conventional
manner. Most hydraulic pump/pressure
accumulator units are fitted with a
bleeder valve which must be bled when
the system has lost fluid or is being
replaced. Some vehicles require that the
system be pressurized when the rear
brakes are bled.
Various Asian, European, and domestic
manufacturers use bleeding procedures
which require specialized equipment.
