DIY: How to Bleed Your Brake Fluid Using Motive Power Bleeder 0117 (AK370Z)

Dragon_Ball_Z · 11-02-2015, 12:12 AM

Hey guys, I need to do this and i have a quick question. The bubbles in the lines is air being taken out? so stop when there is just fresh fluid and no bubbles coming out right? I am worried about doing this and then pushing the brakes and not stopping because there is air left in the lines.

Correct. When bleeding each wheel, once it's obvious that the fresh fluid has reached the caliper and there's no evidence of bubbles (air) in the fluid, you should be good to go. Tighten down the bleeder valve(s) … but don't over-tightened … and fill up the master cylinder reservoir to the max level. Test the brakes … they should be firm. If there is air in the line(s), it will be obvious. The brakes will feel soft and spongy. Trust this helps.
