Refilling
Hydraulic
Brake
System.
(1)
Prior to refilling, the entire hydraulic brake system
should be flushed with clean denatured alcohol.
C a u t i o n : Use denatured alcohol only, as other clean-
ing agents will swell and soften rubber parts in the
system necessitating replacement of the part.
To
flush,
remove
vent
tube
assembly
and
filler cap from top of hydraulic master cylinder and
fill
cylinder
with
denatured
alcohol.
As
in
(h above) open each wheel cylinder bleeder screw in
turn and pump brake slowly until the passage of clean
fluid
indicates
a
clean
system.
After
flushing,
repeat
process
with
clean
hydraulic
fluid
to
force
all
of
the
flushing
agent
from
the
system.
