Clutch / Brake bleeding


Recommended Posts

Replacing the brake fluid is a real messy job and a good chance of introducing some air into the system...I have done this before and regretted not having it done by my mechanic. They don't charge much and you don't risk air or spillage..very corrosive stuff..also needs to be filled to condition of brake pads...fill to level and with worn pads it will overflow with new pads...Anyway..that's my take on this..

Nothing special to do with the 4 slaves...Just open one of the slave drain tubes, have a friend pump brake peddle all the way down (slowly) while at bottom have him keep it there until you get clean fluid coming out then you reconnect the valve and have him slowly release it as you add new fluid to the master reservoir...risk of air in the system...not where a mechanic will use a special pump and fill tool to do the job. Unless I was desperate to save a few bucks, I would have a pro do it with the correct tools and bleed/fill system.
