Close the nipple and move to the front wheel on the opposite side. 9. Do the same procedure on this wheel i.e. open nipple, depress brake pedal and hold, close nipple, top up master cylinder, open nipple, depress brake peddle etc. 10. Follow this procedure for the rear wheel nearest to the master cylinder, and finally with the wheel furthest from the master cylinder. The brake system should be free of air.
