How do I bleed my brakes manually?

  1. This will take two people to accomplish properly.  First, always start at the corner furthest from the driver and work your way towards the driver/master cylinder (Right rear, left rear, right front, left front.).  Remember farthest to closest.
  2. Then, find the bleeder screw (bleeder valve) on the caliper (rear caliper).  Attach a piece of clear tubing to the nipple of the bleeder screw.
  3. Next, have your assistant apply the brake pedal and hold down firmly.  Then open the bleed screw ¼ turn to release the fluid into the waste line.  Make sure to NEVER have the driver release the brake pedal while the screw is open.  Make sure to close the bleed screw first and then have the driver release the brake pedal.
  4. Continue the bleeding process (steps 1-3) until air bubbles are no longer present. Be sure to check the brake fluid level in the reservoir after bleeding each wheel, make sure to keep the fluid level at the MAX line.
  5. Then, move to the next caliper and repeat all steps (1-4) until you have repeated this process at all four corners.
  6. Test the brake pedal for a firm feel and make sure the pedal is high from the floor.  At this point you should be done if all steps were followed correctly.
  7. Please discard of any and all used brake fluid responsibly.
