If brake system was opened downstream of hydraulic unit (brake calipers, brake hoses and brakelines), bleed approximately1/10th of a quart of brake fluid from each brake caliper.
- If brake system was opened at hydraulic unit or upstream of hydraulic unit (ASR pressure reservoir, ASR charging pump, tandem master brake cylinder and brakelines), bleed approximately 2/10ths of a quart of brake fluid from each brake caliper.
- On ASR equipped vehicles, start engine. Open hydraulic unit bleed screw labeled "SP". Bleed approximately 1/10th of a quart of brake fluid until brake fluid flows clear and free of air.
- Close hydraulic unit bleed screw "SP". ASR charging pump will run for approximately 30 seconds. Turn engine off. On all vehicles, disconnect pressure bleeding equipment. Fill brake fluid reservoir to proper level.
