Chrysler Repair: brakes, chrysler sebring convertible, hand operated vacuum pump


Question
i have a 2001 chrysler sebring convertible. How do you bleed the brake system on this car(most efficiently). thank you

Answer
The most efficient way is to buy a brake system pressurizer that is applied to the reservoir so you don't have to have an assistant pump the pedal. Of you can buy a hand operated vacuum pump and actually suck the fluid from the master cylinder thru to the wheel cylinders one at a time, using an accesory catchment bottle to collect the fluid. But I doubt that you will use either of these devices enought to justify the cost.
You will need to keep topping up the master cylinder reservoirs in any case.  Otherwise, I know of no other way than to have a colleague sit at the driver position and pump the brake pedal while you open and close each of the 4 wheel cylinders/calipers using an accessory bleeder back flow prevention valve, while you watch for the absence of air bubbles, starting with the rears and then doing the fronts, always do the one further from the master cylinder (e.g. start with the right rear, end with the left front).
Were you thinking there might be some other way? I haven't worked on the Sebring, but I doubt it is different from my LeBaron.
