Bleeding Tubes, Special Tool 6802 to the master cyl-
inder outlet ports (Fig. 88) or (Fig. 89). Position tubes
so outlets of Bleeding Tubes will be below surface of
brake fluid when reservoir is filled to proper level.

(3) Using a wooden dowel per (Fig. 90), depress
push rod slowly, and then allow pistons to return to
released position. Continue to repeat this step sev-
eral times after no more air bubbles are expelled
from bleed tubes to ensure all air is bled from master
cylinder.

(4) Remove bleeding tubes from master cylinder
outlet ports, plug outlet ports and install fill cap on
reservoir.
(5) Remove master cylinder from vise.
NOTE: Note: It is not necessary to bleed the entire
hydraulic system after replacing the master cylin-
der. However, the master cylinder must have been
bled and filled upon installation.

power brake unit, aligning push rod on power brake
vacuum booster with piston of master cylinder.
