    CAUTION:

    When installing Adapters in master cylinder, do not overtighten. Damage to master cylinder could occur.

    NOTE:

    Bleeder Adapters (special tool #9748-1, Adapter, Bleeder) and (special tool #9748-2, Adapter, Bleeder) are not interchangeable. To avoid mix-up, Bleeder Adapter (special tool #9748-1, Adapter, Bleeder) is silver while Bleeder Adapter (special tool #9748-2, Adapter, Bleeder) is black.

  2. Attach special tools for bleeding master cylinder in following fashion:
    1. Thread Bleeder Adapter (special tool #9748-2, Adapter, Bleeder) (3), into primary outlet port. Tighten to 14 N.m (124 in. lbs.).
    2. Thread Bleeder Adapter (special tool #9748-1, Adapter, Bleeder) (4), into secondary outlet port. Tighten to 14 N.m (124 in. lbs.).
    3. Thread a Bleeder Tube (special tool #8358-1, Bleed Tube) (2), into each Adapter. Tighten each tube to 14 N.m (124 in. lbs.). Flex each bleeder tube and place open end into mouth of fluid reservoir as far down as possible.

    NOTE:

    Make sure open ends of bleeder tubes stay below surface of brake fluid once reservoir is filled to proper level.

  3. Fill brake fluid reservoir (1) to the MAX level with Mopar® brake fluid or equivalent conforming to DOT 3 specifications. Make sure fluid level is above tips of bleeder tubes in reservoir to ensure no air is ingested during bleeding.

  4. Using a wooden dowel as a pushrod (1), slowly depress master cylinder pistons, then release pressure, allowing pistons to return to released position. Repeat several times until all air bubbles are expelled. Make sure fluid level stays above tips of bleeder tubes in reservoir while bleeding.
  5. Remove bleeder tubes (2) and adapters (3, 4) from master cylinder outlet ports, then plug outlet ports and install fill cap on reservoir.
  6. Remove master cylinder from vise.
  7. Install master cylinder on vehicle. Refer to MASTER CYLINDER, BRAKE, INSTALLATION .
