7-69. BLEEDING BRAKES.
7-70. BRAKE BLEEDING PROCEDURE (Gravity). (Refer to Figure 7-26.)
a.
On both main landing gear wheel brake assemblies, attach a clear plastic hose to the brake bleeders
and extend into container partially filled with hydraulic fluid, MIL-H-5606. The ends of this hose
should be submerged in the fluid. Open both bleeders approximately one and one-half to two turns.
b. Fill the brake reservoir on the firewall with hydraulic fluid, MIL-H-5606.
c.
Disconnect the toe brake cylinders from the pedal connection by removing clevis pin, washer and
cotter pin.
d. Invert toe brake cylinder to aid in releasing trapped air in the top of the cylinder.
e.
Check toe brake pedals in the cockpit to ensure pedals are pulled full aft
f.
Pull the hand brake handle, pumping the master cylinder very slowly approximately 25 times until
