1. Unscrew the reservoir cap and check that the brake fluid level in the reservoir is at the "max" mark. When removing air, monitor the presence of fluid in the reservoir, not allowing its bottom to be exposed, since this will again introduce air into the system.
2. Remove the dust cap from the bleed nipple and place a clean transparent hose on it, lowering the other end into a container partially filled with brake fluid.
3. Press the clutch pedal sharply several times at intervals of 2–3 seconds. Loosen the bleed nipple by half a turn while the pedal is pressed. Continuing to press the pedal, force the fluid in the system together with the air through the hose into the container. After the pedal reaches the extreme forward position and the fluid is no longer forced out through the hose, tighten the bleed nipple completely.
4. Repeat these steps until no more air comes out of the hose.
5. Keeping the pedal depressed, tighten the fitting until it stops and remove the hose.
6. Wipe the bleed nipple and install the protective cap.
