BLEEDING SEQUENCE

  1. Master cylinder. If the cylinder is not equipped with bleeder screws, open the brake line(s) to the wheels slightly while pressure is applied to the brake pedal. Be sure to tighten the line before the brake pedal is released. The procedure for bench bleeding the master cylinder is covered below.
  2. Pressure Differential Valve: If equipped with a bleeder screw.
  3. Front/Back Split Systems: Start with the wheel farthest away from the master cylinder, usually the right rear wheel. Bleed the other rear wheel then the right front and left front.

    CAUTION
    Do not allow brake fluid to spill on the truck's finish, it will remove the paint. Flush the area with water.

    NOTE: If the vehicle is equipped with anti-lock brakes, the electro-hydraulic valve must also be bled. It is not necessary to energize the valve to bleed it.
