If the braking system is a standard non-abs then insert a 2 feet see-thru auquarium tube with the other end into a hung bottle. Step 1) Pump the brake and hold, unscrew the bolt slightly, tapping the caliper (not required.) Close the screw, and repeat step 1 until it runs clear or clear of bubbles. Use caution, place block of wood about 1 and a half or 2 inches thick under the pedal. Close the cap if working for more than four hours and keep it full. Start from the longest brake line. (RR, LR, RF, LF.) Recommend you do all four. Rick |
