Removing air from the hydraulic drive (Escort 3)

Place the vehicle on a level surface or on a lift. Remove the master cylinder reservoir cap and add brake fluid to the "MAX" mark.

Remove the cap from the brake bleed nipple of the right front wheel and put a rubber hose on its head, lower the other end of the hose into a container partially filled with liquid and place the container above the bleed nipple by at least 300 mm. Unscrew the bleed nipple by half a turn and vigorously and fully press the brake pedal until air bubbles stop coming out of the hose. With the pedal fully pressed, screw in the bleed nipple and put the cap on it.

Bleed the brake mechanisms of the left rear, left front and right rear wheels in the same way. During the work, add brake fluid to the reservoir, not allowing its bottom to become exposed.
