Use your clear hose and very clean container to catch the fluid coming out of the bleeder\/hose.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Start Filling<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Important tips:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Once you start pouring, you can&#8217;t allow the fluid level in the cylinder to lower pass any of the port holes for the brake lines.<\/li>\n<li>Pour smoothly to avoid stirring up bubbles in the cylinder<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Have a friend watching the flow out of the caliper, with a hand on the bleeder ready to tighten it.\u00a0 Fluid will be moving quickly, they&#8217;ll need to be ready for when you say tighten.<\/p>\n<p>Continue to pour until no more bubbles come out (visible in the clear length of hose).\u00a0 You can keep pouring for a bit more if you like.\u00a0 When you&#8217;re ready, give the signal to close the bleeder.<\/p>\n<p>If you only have rear brakes, you&#8217;re done bleeding and can start putting everything back together.<\/p>\n<h2>Bleeding the front brakes<\/h2>\n<p>Bleeding front brakes is the same process as the rear.\u00a0 Repeat for each caliper in the system.<\/p>\n<h3>Re-assemble<\/h3>\n<p>When finished with all calipers, reassemble the master cylinder and test for pressure.\u00a0 If you run into any problems, leave a comment in the section below.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"vacuum_instructions\"><\/a>Vacuum Pump (High Volume)<\/h2>\n<p>The key to success with a vacuum pump, is to make sure that you continuously pull a large amount of fluid through the system rapidly.\u00a0\u00a0 Since instructions should come with the pump unit that will cover its general operation, we&#8217;ll focus on how to get the best results in this case.<\/p>\n<h3>Teflon Tape around the bleeder threads<\/h3>\n<p>The threads on the bleeder aren&#8217;t designed to seal.\u00a0 So when you use a vacuum pump, it will pull air from around the threads and into your line.\u00a0 This will give the appearance that the system never runs out of bubbles, and you won&#8217;t get proper suction on the system.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Use teflon tape to temporarily seal the threads.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Build up suction with the bleeder closed<\/h3>\n<p>To get the maximum fluid flow, build up suction with your pump before opening he bleeder.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Maintain suction<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Maintain suction continuously, as much as possible.\u00a0 Your pump unit should have a gauge, keep it maxed out if possible.<\/p>\n<p>It helps to have a helper refilling the master cylinder&#8217;s reservoir as it lowers.\u00a0 <strong>Never allow the reservoir to run out of fluid<\/strong>, or you&#8217;ll have to repeat the whole process.<\/p>\n<p>Even with these tips, using a vacuum pump may just not work.\u00a0 In this case, use the bench bleeding method in this article.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>\u00a0Questions?
