Abstract
The present invention provides a reservoir cap and bleed mechanism for use with the fluid reservoir of a dry interface corner actuator. The reservoir cap and bleed mechanism displaces a portion of the reservoir volume during filling and provides a diaphragm to maintain a fill reservoir volume during operation. The fluid reservoir can be bled and filled to the desired brake fluid level through a sealable passage in the reservoir cap assembly without removing the reservoir cap.
