J. Adjustment/Test - Bleeding the Brake System
If a brake line has been disconnected or the brake pedal has a “spongy” feel, there is a strong
likelihood that air has entered the brake system. To ensure proper braking, all trapped air must
be removed from the brake system.
(a) Acquire necessary tools and equipment
(b) Remove main gear fairings. (Refer to 32-10)
(c) Disengage parking brake.
(d) Connect hydraulic pressure source, to right brake wheel cylinder bleeder valve.
(e) Open bleeder valve and begin pumping hydraulic fluid into system. Observe fluid level in
brake system reservoir to prevent overfill.
(f) After bubbles cease to appear in reservoir, check fluid level, close bleeder valve, and
remove pressure source.
(g) Repeat steps through for left brake system.
(h) Install main gear fairings. (Refer to 32-10)
