This is to completely refresh your brakes.
What you will need.
Wrench to loosen bleeder valves
Bleed Kit, or some clear tubing and a jar.
Small board 1x4
Helper, as not easy to do yourself.
BV = bleeder valve
MC = master cylinder
1- Remove Master Cylinder Cover
2-**** out old fluid and wipe clean
3- Refill MC with new fluid. (always replace cover after doing this) and pump brakes 10-015 times, then top off MC with fluid.
4. Place board under brake peddle to stop it from going down to floor
5-Starting from furthest point (right rear, left rear, right front, left front) loosen bleeder valve but keep closed.
6-Attach tubing to bleeder valve, and put other end in jar half full of new brake fluid
7-Have helper push brake slowly and evenly until at board, and they should let you know they have stopped.
8-Open BV 1/4 turn. Old fluid and any air will go in jar. When it stops, close BV and have helper release brake.
9-Repeat several times until fluid is clear. ( MC will need topping up, otherwise air will get in)
10-Retighten BV, and repeat at all brake locations
Note
Make sure MC is always topped up and BV closed when done.
Always use recommended manufacturer fluids.
