BLEEDING THE BRAKES

There are other ways/tools to bleed a brake line, but the following method is the cheapest, needs one person and get the job done with simple garage parts.

Use a hose(or a clear hose) and hose clamp to secure the hose onto the bleeder valve. Stick the hose into a plastic bottle to the bottom to make sure you don't spill any brake fluid.

Open the valve, start the car up, and press the brake pedal 3 times in a row. You should feel the pedal drop to the floor effortlessly. Jump out and inspect that you have SOME fluid into the bottle. Make sure the opening on the hose is IN the brake fluid.

Pump the brake pedal a few more times, check the bottle for fluid, and check the brake fluid resivour and fill it as needed. I slowly pumped the pedal until my "BRAKE" light came on indicating I was low on fluid. I filled up the resivour, then checked the bottle to make sure fluid was coming out.

**make sure not to spill any of the brake fluid at the body paint, if you do, spray it with water ASAP**
