For 1990-2009 cars only
- Plug all the ports with suitable fittings which cannot damage the pipe seats.
- Run hoses from the fittings back into the reservoir.
- Hold the master cylinder securely by the mounting flange so as not to cause any distortion and to enable the pistons to be stroked.
- Fill the reservoir with new brake fluid.
- Open the secondary port to the atmosphere and depress the pistons to fully bottom out the master cylinder. To depress the pistons use a rod with a blunt end which will not damage the pushrod location on the primary piston, or cause contamination in the master cylinder bore.
- Close the secondary port and return the pistons to their released position.
- Repeat Steps 4 and 5 until fluid flows freely from the port until there is no evidence of air bubbles.
- Repeat Steps 4, 5 and 6 using the primary port.
- With the ports plugged, stroke the pistons. A solid feel should be evident with a piston travel of approximately 4 mm (0.157 in).
- If the above piston travel is excessive, repeat the bleeding operation steps 4, 5, 6 and 7; then recheck the piston travel.
