May 15, 2013 2 Brake bleeding using pump oil can Category: Brakes
Bleeding of the left and right brakes independent systems is best done with two people. We bought a pump oil can on which we attached vinyl tubing which fit over the brake caliper bleeder nipple. The reservoir for the 5606 brake fluid we mounted on the right side of the cockpit under the instrument panel and attached to one of the cage tubes. The bleeding process entails pumping brake fluid back up from the wheel cylinder to the master cylinders, one attached to each brake pedal assembly, and up into the reservoir. We pump until we end up with the reservoir about 3/4 full to allow for fluid expansion.
