BRAKE SERVICE PROCEDURES FOR 1996 Plymouth Neon AUTOMOBILES
Disc Brakes -> Type 6-Kelsey-Hayes Dual Pin Floating Caliper Disc Brake, Front -> Brake System Bleed -> Manual Bleed -> Pressure Bleed
Vehicle: 1996 Plymouth Neon Highline 2.0 L4 GAS
Bleeding the hydraulic brake system is necessary if air has entered the system. Symptoms can be noted by loss of brake operation, and/or a low or spongy brake pedal.
The hydraulic fluid is bled or flushed from the system through bleeder valves located on the calipers, wheel cylinders, and some master cylinders. Use only specified brake fluid when bleeding the system. Never reuse old brake fluid removed from the system.
Pressure Bleed
Pressure bleeding is recommended for all hydraulic brake systems. It is the fastest method because the master cylinder is automatically fed brake f...
