Hello! NOTE: If the system has been drained, first refill it with fresh brake fluid. Following the above sequence, open each bleeder valve by 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn and pump the brake pedal until fluid runs out of the valve. Proceed with the bleeding as outlined below.

1. Remove the bleeder valve dust cover and install a rubber bleeder hose.. Insert the other end of the hose into a container about 1/s full of brake fluid.
2. Have an assistant pump the brake pedal several times until the pedal pressure increases.
3. Hold the pedal under pressure and then start to open the bleeder valve about 1/2 to 3/t of a turn.
4. At this point, have your assistant depress the pedal all the way and then quickly close the valve.
5. The helper should allow the pedal to return slowly.
NOTE: Keep a close check on the brake fluid in the reservoir and top it up as necessary throughout the bleeding process.
6. Keep repeating this procedure until no more air bubbles can be seen coming from the hose in the
brake fluid.
7. Remove the bleeder hose and install the dust cover.

You'll need a helper to help push the brake pedal. Start at the right rear, open the bleeder, have your helper push slowly and steadily down on the brake pedal. Close the bleeder. Have your helper take foot off the brake pedal. Repeat this process until either the fluid is clean/clear or there is no more air coming out of the lines. Continue this process at the left rear, then the right front, and finish at the left front. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to answer them. Thank you for using FixYa.com!

Can you bleed the brakes system from the top of the brake line

Can you bleed the brakes system from the top of the brake line Rick, No! I will post links to proper bleeding procedures, if you can not do it this way, take it in to a qualified shop. Some vehicles need to use a scan tool during the bleeding process to cycle the pump and valves.

99 chevy malibu brake bleeding not working

if you are having this problem you will need a brake bleeding kit. this helps force the brake fluid round. the kit comes with all the fittings and you connect to a tyre valve, this primes the system so no need to pump the brake pedal, the kits are cheap and easy to use.

What is the trick to removing the driver side CV joint?

To remove the cv joint/transaxle, first remove the wheel. Remove the brake caliper and pads. Be sure to tie up the brake caliper to keep out of way. Once the caliper is removed, slide the brake rotor off. Remove the center cap over hub (if capped). Remove the kotter pin and nut hold shaft in place. There are two bolts on the back side that connect the strut to the wheel hub. remove those bolts. Keep in mind that they are not the same size, the bolt heads are angled. To make sure you put the right bolts in place, Take two envelopes and mark top on one and bottom on the other. I had an 89 Horizon (same as Omni), so I did the same with the envelopes. Separate the strut from the hub assembly. Next, while pushing in on the cv joint, carefully pull hub assembly out and turn either left or right. Once you have remove the shaft from hub, using a pry bar, insert pry bar between tranny and axle and pop out. It is that easy. Let me know if there is anything else you may need help with.

Cant bleed out brakes

It takes time, do you know the sequence to bleed the brakes? Most cars r different. And you have to keep pouring brake fluid, That is a two person job. Make sure all lines r connected to MC and not leaking. After a while if nothing comes out MC could be diffective.
