Hello,I have a 2009 Camry auto 4 cycl. not hybrid. My brake cables were vandalized and cut. I‘m installing new brake cables that connect to the abs system. How do I bleed the brake cables????
It is NOT possible to bleed brake cables, or cables of any kind. Sounds to me like you have no idea what you're talking about. Brakes are critical. Be sure to have someone inspect your work.
The brake fluid lines aren't cables. They're tubes. Begin by removing the wheel of the farthest wheel from the master cylinder- usually the passenger-side rear, supporting the vehicle with jack stands and blocking the front tire on both the front and back of the tire to prevent drifting When the vehicle is secured and the wheel removed, bleeding the brakes can commence. It will need to be done by two people, a brake-bleeder wrench, and fluid. The best way is to attach a tube to the bleeder valve, located behind the wheel(for drum brakes) or at the top of the caliper (for disc) and insert the tube into a jar containing adequate fluid, so that when one person pumps the brake pedal, the other observes when bubbles no longer exit the tube in the jar. It should be noted that the wrench should be inserted on the hex-part of the valve first before attaching the tube. Once the line appears completely full of fluid, the bleeder valve is closed snugly. After the farthest wheel is done, continue to do the same with the next-furthest wheel, and so on, until all four are done. Note that just because the other wheels didn't have snipped lines, doesn't mean there isn't air trapped in them. In this order, all air will be purged from the system.
