When bleeding brakes you work from the nipple furthest away from the master cylinder and work your way back towards it.

Use the appropriate bleeding pipes. The pipe must be connected tightly onto the bleeder screw, so that no air enters the brake system.
t Press the brake pedal 5 times to assist the air bleeding process.
– Next, tighten the air bleeder screw to 1 Nm, disconnect the bleeder hose and fit the protective cap onto the bleeder screw.
– Repeat the bleeding process in the rest of the brake callipers following the indicated order (see table) → Chapter
N02-0720
– Fill the brake fluid reservoir to the “MAX” mark, taking into account the wear to the brake pads, and screw on the cap-1-.
– Start the engine and check the run and pressure of the brake pedal. The unladen travel must be at most1/3of the pedal travel.

Note
If there is excessive brake pedal movement, check for leak faults in the brake system and / or repeat the air bleeding process.
