You will need:
• A brake bleeder wrench
• A clear tube (at least 3 feet long)
• A container to catch the brake fluid
• DOT 3 brake fluid
Steps:
1. Park your car in a safe and level location, turn off the engine and allow it to cool down completely.
2. Locate the brake bleeder screws on your car. They are usually located on the calipers or wheel cylinders.
3. Clean the bleeder screws and the surrounding area to prevent dirt and debris from entering the brake system.
4. Attach one end of the clear tube to the brake bleeder screw and the other end to the container. Make sure the tube is securely fastened to both ends.
5. Open the bleeder screw by turning it counterclockwise with the brake bleeder wrench.
6. Have a helper slowly press and release the brake pedal several times. This will force the old brake fluid out of the system and draw in new brake fluid.
7. While your helper is pressing the brake pedal, watch the container for bubbles. As long as you see bubbles, continue to pump the brakes. Once there are no more bubbles, close the bleeder screw.
8. Repeat steps 5-7 for each of the other three brake bleeder screws, starting with the farthest one from the master cylinder.
9. Top up the brake fluid reservoir with DOT 3 brake fluid until it reaches the "Full" mark.
10. Test the brakes to make sure they are working properly. You should feel a firm and consistent pedal when you press down on the brakes.
Note: It's important to never let the brake fluid reservoir run dry. If it does, air will enter the system and you will need to bleed the brakes again.
