Bleeding Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Acura MDX, 2002 Acura 3.5RL, 2002 Acura 3.2TL, and 2002 Acura 3.2CL. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
Use only clean DOT 3 brake fluid. Ensure no dirt or other foreign matter contaminates brake fluid. DO NOT mix different brands of brake fluid, as they may not be compatible. Avoid spilling brake fluid on car, as it will damage paint. If brake fluid contacts paint, immediately flush with water.
- Ensure master cylinder reservoir is full before performing bleeding procedure. Refill reservoir after bleeding each wheel. Have an assistant slowly pump brake pedal several times, then apply steady pressure. Loosen brake bleed screw at each wheel to allow air to escape from system. Tighten bleed screw to 80 INCH lbs. (9 N.m). Repeat procedure until air bubbles no longer appear in fluid.
- Bleed brakes in following sequence: LF, RF, RR, LR. Ensure master cylinder reservoir is full. Road test vehicle and check brake performance.
