It is a trick and not always successful.

I recommend you have a dealer or properly equipped repair shop do this!

But here is the trick:

  1. The system must start out bled and with clean fluid. If there is air or dirty old fluid this will not work!
  2. Take the old master off and install a pre bled new one.
  3. Take of all four wheels
  4. Compress all four calipers enough to purge the small amount of air allowed into the system back through the master cylinder. If the fluid has any dirt in it the Anti-lock system could be ruined.
  5. If you get any air into the system that can't be purged this way it will need to be TOWED to a dealer and Bled properly.
