J 35589 Master Cylinder 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 fluid reservoir cover and the surrounding areas.
2. Remove the fluid reservoir cover.
3. Remove any remaining brake fluid in the reservoir.
4. Refill the reservoir to the proper level using clean DOT-3 brake fluid.
5. Install the J 35589 to 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). Wait for approximately 30 seconds in order to ensure that there is no leakage.
8. Adjust the pressure bleeding equipment to 205-240 kPa (30-35 psi).
9. Attach a clear plastic hose to the rearward bleeder valve on the hydraulic modulator.

Place the other end of the hose in a container in order to collect the draining brake fluid. Do not submerge the hose end into the fluid.

10. Slowly open the bleeder valve. Allow the fluid to flow until clean brake fluid flows or until at least 118 ml (4 oz) of fluid is accumulated.
11. Close the valve.
12. Attach a clear plastic hose to the forward bleeder valve on the hydraulic modulator.

Place the other end of the hose in a container in order to collect the draining brake fluid. Do not submerge the hose end into the fluid.

13. Slowly open the bleeder valve. Allow the fluid to flow until clean brake fluid flows or until at least 118 ml (4 oz) of fluid is accumulated.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

14. Close the valve.

Tighten
Tighten the hydraulic modulator bleeder valve to 9 N·m (80 lb in).

15. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in General Information.
16. Flush the brakes in the following order:

•	Right rear

•

Left rear

•	Right front

•	Left front

17. Attach the bleeder hose to the bleeder valve at each wheel.

Place the other end of the hose into a container in order to collect the draining brake fluid. Do not submerge the hose end into the fluid.

18. Slowly open the bleeder valve and allow the fluid to flow.
19. Close the valve when the clean brake fluid begins to flow or at least 235 ml (8 oz) of fluid is accumulated.
20. Lower the vehicle.
21. Remove the J 35589 .
22. Replace the following rubber components:

•	Brake hose assemblies

•	Master cylinder rubber parts

•	Brake caliper and wheel cylinder boots and seals

•	Hydraulic modulator

•	ABS solenoids

23. Repeat the entire pressure flushing procedure one more time.
24. Inspect the fluid level in the reservoir. Fill the reservoir to the correct level, if necessary.
25. Install the fluid reservoir cap.
26. Bleed the entire brake hydraulic system. Refer to Hydraulic Brake System Bleeding .
