How do you bleed the brakes on a 1993 Ford Escort?

Answer 1

To bleed the brakes you have to:

1. Fill the master reservoir full with brake fluid.

2. Start with the RR wheel, then LR wheel, then RF wheel and last LF wheel.

3. Put a length of clear hose onto the bleeder valve nipple.

4. Place the end of the hose into a fluid container, like a clear glass bottle.

5. Have an assistant pump the brakes up and then hold it to the floor.

6. Keep the master cylinder reservoir full while doing these steps.

7 While they are holding the pedal to the floor open the bleeder valve and watch for bubbles in the hose going into the clear glass bottle. Before they let up on the clutch pedal close the bleeder valve.

8. If there are bubbles in the clear container repeat the process again having the assistant pump the pedal, then hold it to the floor while you open the bleeder valve to check for bubbles.

9. Keep doing this until you get no bubbles. Always start with the wheel that is furthest from the master cylinder first going to the wheel that is closest to the master cylinder.

9. Do this on all 4 wheels.
