How do you bleed the brakes on a 1987 Toyota pickup?
To bleed the brakes, pour some brake fluid into the drain can, and immerse the end of the tube in the fluid. Remove the rubber nub from the bleed valve and put the bleeder fitting and hose on the valve. Crack the valve open until a little fluid begins running in the tube, then begin pumping the brakes.
How do you bleed a Toyota master cylinder?

Where are the Bleeders on the Toyota brake system?
The rear calipers had bleeders on each side (four piston calipers). You could also suck as much fluid out of the master cylinder as possible, refill with fresh brake fluid from an unopened container, open all 4 bleeders and gravity bleed the system with a pan under each wheel.
Why are my brakes bleeding on my Toyota LSPV?
Once you have the brakes bled/sorted out you want to start with the valve as high as it will go and see how your rear brakes feel. You may need to adjust it down some, every truck is different. But starting at the very bottom will probably cause early rear brake engagement.
How often should you run a brake bleeder?
Its not rocket science. And, as long as you didn’t run the MC dry, and you get that 4-8 ounces from each bleeder, you’re good to go. Repeat every 2-3 years or during ANY brake service. If you don’t have the recommended 2nd person, you’ll need a Motive, Mityvac, Speedbleeders, or other single man bleeder kits.
Can You Bleed the brakes if you have the lines hooked up wrong?
Your brakes may not work right [if you have the lines hooked up wrong], but you should still be able to bleed them. Bleeding in the wrong order will only slow you down, it won’t stop you from bleeding the brakes. Don’t get me wrong, you should do it in the correct order, and it will get done faster, but it’s not 100% necessary to get the job done.
