Car Essentials: Brake Bleeding and Brake Tools
Summary
Brake fluid can absorb moisture, reducing its boiling point and leading to corrosion. Contaminants like rust and rubber particles accelerate wear on braking components.Why Are Brake Bleeders Important?
Brake fluid can absorb moisture from the air, which lowers its boiling point and causes corrosion. Additionally, rust and rubber particles can contaminate the fluid, accelerating wear on moving parts. Regular maintenance, including flushing hydraulic fluid annually, is essential. Whenever the hydraulic system is opened, it must be bled of air. It’s recommended to flush and replace brake fluid every two years to prevent deposits from accumulating in the lines, which can reduce brake efficiency. Regular bleeding also helps identify potential brake issues.
Brake Bleeding Tools and Their Purpose
Brake bleeding removes air bubbles from hydraulic brake systems, essential because while brake fluid is incompressible, air bubbles are not. This process ensures adequate hydraulic pressure. The same methods are used to replace old fluid with new, clean fluid?"a necessary maintenance step. This is accomplished by forcing bubble-free fluid through the system from the master cylinder to the calipers or wheel cylinders, with bleeder valves typically located at the highest points.
How to Bleed Brakes
The first step is filling the system with brake fluid. A pressure brake bleeder, like the Motive Products Bleeder, simplifies this process. With a hand pump, this tool pressurizes the brake fluid to the desired level. A gauge indicates the fluid pressure inside the large reservoir, which can hold about two quarts of fluid?"more than enough for most jobs. The bleeder is attached to the reservoir cap, and the internal pump pressurizes the system to enable bleeding.
Fast and User-Friendly Brake Bleeding
The Motive Products Power Bleeder is an excellent addition to your tools. It connects to the master cylinder and uses a specialized pump to achieve around 10 psi. The bleeder valves are opened sequentially until air-free fluid flows. This system’s reservoir typically holds enough fluid to prevent running dry. It’s the method used by many professional shops.
