Vehicles before change point in 1982 BLEEDING BRAKES Brake fluid¹) must be replaced every year. Brake fluid is hygroscopic and consequently will absorb moisture from the atmosphere through vent hole in brake fluid tank. This reduces boiling point of brake fluid to 160 ... 180°C (320 ... 355°F). Important: Be careful not to spill brake fluid on any painted surface. Brake fluid would destroy paint. Connect bleeder to brake fluid tank. Important: Keep filling pressure below 2 bar (30 psi).  ¹) See Specifications

Rear Wheel Brakes: Insert bleeder hose with container for catching brake fluid onto bleeder screw. Open bleeder screw. Tighten bleeder screw as soon as escaping brake fluid is without air bubbles. |  |
Front Wheel Brakes: Remove and install front wheel - 36 10 300. Insert bleeder hose with container for catching brake fluid onto bleeder screw. Open bleeder screw. Tighten bleeder screw as soon as escaping brake fluid is without air bubbles. Important: Bleed system at all three bleeder screws A, B and C, since otherwise air bubbles could remain trapped in the caliper. Always bleed both lower pistons in sequence of B - C. 36 10 300

Vehicles after change point in 1982 BLEEDING BRAKES Brake fluid*) must be replaced annually. Brake fluid is hygroscopic and consequently takes on moisture in the air through vent holw in brake fluid tank. This could drop brake fluid boilling point form + 240°C (464°F) to + 160 ... 180°C (320 ... 356°F). Caution! Keep brake fluid off of painted car parts - paint finish would be damaged. Connect bleeder on brake fluid tank. Check operating instructions supplied with bleeder. Charging pressure must not exceed 2 bar (28 psi). * See Service Information of Group 00

Rear Wheel Brakes (Discs): Connect bleeder hose with bottle on bleeder screw. Unscrew bleeder screw. Tighten bleeder screw when escaping brake fluid is without air bubbles. |  |
Front Wheel Brakes: Connect bleeder hose with bottle on bleeder screw. Unscrew bleeder screw. Tighten bleeder screw when escaping brake fluid is without air bubbles. |  |
