Brake Bleeding Procedure

[jclaar]

Can anyone post the directions for how to bleed the Venture's brakes w/ABS? I seemed to have misplaced my Hayne's manual.

I bought in autozone or somewhere else (don't remember anymore) 1man bleed kit. Paid about $10-$15
It's pretty much simple, take a wheel off, connect to your brake hose, pump your brake, and get reed of the air.

You can do by yourself.
I did for myself without big problems.

and I am still having problems bleeding it. Are you sure I don't need a scan tool to do it?

I was using something which is closely to that thing for$17, and worked just fine for me.
Connected to break bleeding screew and opened up, refilled with clean brake fluid and start pumping until got all of this old brake fluid out.
Usually you can pump brake few times before it's full, you have to be carefull about how much you break fluid you have in system so the air don't get in.
It's a one man job and I did it all on my own.

It wasn't so hard.


Good luck.

In case you still need help, if you are only replacing the fluid or air might have only entered after the ABS modules, it's pretty easy. Top off the reservoir with new fluid. Open the passenger rear bleeder screw and have someone slowly press the brake pedal until the fluid runs clear. Make sure the reservoir doesn't run dry. Once it's clear, close the bleeder screw and have the helper pump 3 times and hold. Open the screw slightly to release the pressure and squeeze out any last air. Repeat several more times. Then move up to the drivers front wheel. It's a split system and you one to get one system at a time. Repeat at the driver's front wheel, then do the drivers rear and passenger front last. Always be sure that the reservoir doesn't go dry or you have to start the whole process over.
