Hydro Bleeding
Guide to bleeding up your brakes, including Hydro.
Two guides...
Guide one:
Person A:
Open door.
Sit in seat.
When told, push foot brake down steadily and hold it down.
Then, with foot brake down, steadily pull handbrake and hold it there.
When told, release the handbrake, and then the footbrake.
Relax.
Repeat when told.
Person B:
Lay on floor, open rear passenger side caliper bleed screw.
Tell person A to push the pedal, then pull handbrake.
When they are holding both brake devices, tighten the bleed screw.
Tell person A to release the brake devices.
When person A has released them, loosen the bleed screw again and tell
person A to operate the devices again.
Repeat this process a few times until the fluid spurts out a nice solid
stream of fluid, not pissing, no bubbles, no spitting. Clamp bleed screw
and move to rear driver's side. Repeat the process.
Guide two:
Bleed nipple open, footbrake down slowly, then handbrake down slowly, close bleed nipple, raise wand, raise footbrake, repeat. I've had hydro's in two of my cars, working one on discs and one on drums and both have been perfecto.
