brake system recommended by the car manufacturer for a given model
may be different depending on the side on which the steering wheel is
placed.
c)
Disassemble the cover of the brake fluid expansion tank (in the vast
majority of cars, it is located under the hood in the engine compartment
next to the brake pump - it is connected to it) and, if necessary, top up
with fresh fluid to the maximum level on the tank (see the car's manual).
Overfilling slightly above the maximum level will not be a problem as the
level will drop anyway during fluid change and bleeding.
NOTE: the brake fluid is a toxic and corrosive substance and even a drop
on a metal or painted surface may lead to permanent damage to the
coating (e.g. corrosion or damage to the paint). Therefore, when refilling
the liquid in the tank, be especially careful not to spill it anywhere! In the
event of spills, the area should be immediately wiped dry, e.g. with a cloth
soaked in gasoline or other non-aggressive detergent suitable for the
given surface.
d) Set the ring at the end of the pump in a position to generate negative
pressure - by moving it towards the nozzle:
e) Place one of the short hoses tightly on the spigot and slide the other end
of the hose onto the spigot in the container lid on the side with the
inscription "TO PUMP" on the lid. The container lid should be tightly
attached.
f)
Place one of the long hoses tightly on the remaining spigot of the
container lid.
g) Remove the cap from the brake vent (if applicable). Place the other end
of the long hose tightly on the breather of the brake (usually located at
the top of the brake caliper or on the support disc on the car side in the
