How do i bleed breaks on 2002 Kia Sportage?

Answer 1

first go purchase a one man brake bleeding kit $ 20.00. Well worth it, connect it up to the closets wheel to the master cylinder. connect up the one man kit and follow directions. Make sure you have plenty of new brake fluid to do this job with and never never never reuse brake fluid ever.the instructions will tell you to release the valve on the cylinder you want to bleed and push down on the brake pedal. Now a tip get somone else to do this while you watch the hose with the brake fluid running thru it. then they will release the brake and new fluid will be sucked from the master cylinder to the hose and forcing air down an out of the line, keep doing this until you see no more bubbles in hose of blleed kit, at that point tighten valve bleeder on cylinder. then go to next cylinder and do the same thing. Remember to constantly check to make sure master cylinder does not run dry, keep it topped up with new fluid. the other thing is your helper has tyo do what you tell them, don't let them pump the brakes like crazy. tell them push down and hold , then tell them to release , then push down and hold and so on. this way you control the fluid flow in a concise manor and if the brake kit hose pops off you can put it back on without taking a bath. hope this helps.
