How to Adjust Oil Brakes That Don't Hold Well?
1 Answers
Press and hold the rear brake without releasing it. Then loosen the screw on the rear brake caliper (the caliper is the part that fits over the rear disc), allowing brake fluid to seep out. Wait for about 2 seconds and then tighten the screw. Throughout this entire process, keep pressing the rear brake without releasing it. Only release the brake after the screw has been fully tightened. Then, repeatedly press and release the brake about a dozen times to check its firmness. If it's still not firm enough, repeat the process. Introduction to disc brakes: 1. Consists of a brake disc connected to the wheel and a brake caliper at the edge of the disc. 2. When braking, high-pressure brake fluid pushes the brake pads to clamp the disc, creating the braking effect.
