[MMamdouh]

CAUTION: this illustration works for the non-ABS equipped vehicles only, I am not responsablefor any consequences that might occur if you followed this illustration on an ABS equipped vehicle.


1- lift and jack the car at the far most wheel from the brakes master cylinder.
2- remove wheel.
3- put one end of a clear plastic pipe on top of the bleed valve and the other end in a container.
4- let a friend pump the brakes pedal several times.
5- let your friend push and hold the brake pedal.
6- opens the bleed valve; the brakes fluid rushes out into the container through the clear pipe.
7- when the fluid stops rushing out secure the valve (the fluid will rush out for a slip second).
8- notice the brakes fluid left in the pipe, if their are any air bubbles in it then repeat steps 5, 6, & 7 till their is no more air bubbles.
9- when you are done with this wheel, put it back then repeat the whole steps at the next farther wheel from the master cylinder.
10- when all 4 wheels are bled, refill brakes reservoir with brakes fluid of a matching grade if needed.
