Bleeding hydraulic
system
Bleeding
the
hydraulic
brake
system
deserves much
attention
as
it is
an essential factor for
regular
service
brake
operation
As a matter
of
fact
during
the brake service air
is
likely
to
creep
into the
circuit with the result that the
fluid action is
altered and
the brake
pedal
becomes
spongy
at the travel end
Bleeding
should be
carried out at flrst the master
cylinder
then from the
longest
line from the master
cylinder
and then fmish
up
with the shortest
