Hey all, I just want to make sure I'm bleeding the brakes correctly on my Defender 90 as I am somewhat confident that there is air in there somewhere. However, if bleeding brakes does not fix the issue, I may need to replace the master cylinder, but wanted to check the box on air possibility first. I know there's PLENTY of conversation about what sequence to follow, but I want to make sure I'm doing the proper setup too.
Steps I'm following:
Hopefully this isn't a no brainer question, but even if it is, I'll take any answers I can get.
Steps I'm following:
- Using gravity method: fill gravity jar with DOT4 fluid and top off master cylinder fluid to line
- Open breather half a turn to allow for fluid to start draining (on a LHD so RR LR RF LF)
- Let fluid drain at each cylinder and continue to top off resevoir
- Repeat on each cyliner in aforementioned sequence
Hopefully this isn't a no brainer question, but even if it is, I'll take any answers I can get.
