oil and depress the brake pedal repeatedly.

This procedure needs at least 3 persons for doing
below jobs:

1. Collect the bleeding oil into the container.

2. Depress the brake pedal repeatedly.

3. Check the conditions of oil supply device.

6. Repeat the step 4 through 5 until clear brake fluid

comes out of air bleed screw.

7. Perform the same procedures at each wheel.

8. Always start to bleed the air at the farthest wheel

from the brake master cylinder. Observe the sequence
