Pressure Flushing

^ Tools Required
- J 29532 Diaphragm Type Brake Bleeder
- J 35589 Compact Brake Bleeder Adapter

NOTICE: Pressure Bleeding equipment can be used to perform the flush procedure. The pressure bleeding equipment used for flushing must be of the diaphragm type. It must a have a rubber diaphragm between the air supply and the brake fluid to prevent air, moisture, and other contaminants from entering the hydraulic system.


1. Clean the brake fluid reservoir cover and the surrounding area.
2. Remove the brake fluid reservoir cover.
3. Remove any remaining brake fluid in the reservoir.
4. Refill the brake fluid reservoir with clean DOT 3 brake fluid to the proper level.





5. Install the J 35589 to the brake fluid reservoir.
6. Install the J 35589 to the pressure bleeding equipment.
7. Adjust the pressure bleeding equipment to 35 - 70 kPa (5 - 10 psi) and wait for approximately 30 seconds in order to ensure there is no leakage.
8. Adjust the pressure bleeding equipment to 205 - 240 kPa (30 - 35 psi).
9. Raise and suitably support the vehicle.

NOTICE: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions.

IMPORTANT: The following list indicates the wheel position flush sequence:
^ Right rear
^ Left front
^ Left rear
^ Right front

IMPORTANT: Ensure that the bleeder valves do not leak.





10. Use the following procedure in order to flush the brakes:
10.1. Attach the bleeder hose (3) to the bleeder valve at each wheel.
10.2. Place the other end of the bleeder hose into a container (2) in order to collect the draining brake fluid. Submerge the hose end in fluid.
10.3. Slowly open the bleeder valve and allow the fluid to flow.
10.4. Close the valve when clean brake fluid begins to flow or at least 235 ml (8 oz.) of fluid accumulates.
10.4.1. Tighten the front caliper bleeder valves to 13 Nm (115 inch lbs.).
10.4.2. Tighten the rear caliper bleeder valves to 7 Nm (62 inch lbs.).

11. Lower the vehicle.
12. Remove the bleeder adapter.
13. Replace all the rubber components listed under Flushing Procedure.
14. Repeat the flushing procedure one more time.
15. Inspect the brake fluid level in the reservoir. Fill the reservoir to the correct level if necessary.
16. Install the brake fluid reservoir cap.
17. Bleed the entire brake hydraulic system.
