How do you bleed the brakes on a 1998 Kia Sephia with rear drum brakes?

Answer 1

Make sure Master cylinder if full,
Start @ right rear wheel cylinder bleeder screw, open bleeder, have someone inside the car step down lightly & slowly until pedal sinks to almost 3/4 way down to floor. hold pedal down, THEN CLOSE BLEEDER SCREW.
Do that at least 3-4 times, check fluid in master cylinder, then proceed to left rear and repeat procedure. You are done when no air comes out of bleeder. you shuld also have a hard pedal when done, that is of course that there is sufficient amount of brake shoe material, and the wheel cylinders are not leaking, and also that the rear shoes are properly adjust. Those are general rule of thumb procedures. You always start with the bleeder furthest from the master cylinder, then end up with the last one closest to master. hope that helped you, Please let me know, Ben

you need to do them one at a time first remove the tire then on the back of the brake drum there is a bleeder.you need a second person to push the brake peddle..first push and hold the brake then the second person needs a wrench to fit the bleeder opening the bleeder. close the bleeder befor letting the brake peddle up then repeat that a coupple time until fluid is clear of air..make shore to check brake fluid befor and after...
