How to Bleed Air from Car Brake Fluid?
1 Answers
When bleeding air from car brake fluid, the sequence should follow the principle of 'from far to near', performing the bleeding operation on each wheel cylinder in the order of right rear wheel, left rear wheel, right front wheel, and left front wheel. The method for bleeding air from car brake fluid is as follows: 1. The air bleeding operation requires two people to cooperate. One person continuously presses the brake pedal inside the vehicle to raise the pedal position and holds it steady without loosening. 2. The other person loosens the bleeder valve to allow air and brake fluid in the pipeline to be discharged together. When the pedal position lowers, immediately tighten the bleeder valve. 3. Repeat this process several times until no air bubbles are discharged from the plastic tube. 4. Tighten the bleeder valve and install the dust cover, then proceed to bleed air from the other wheel cylinders in sequence. 5. During the bleeding process, check and replenish the brake fluid while discharging air until all air is completely expelled. Then, add an adequate amount of the specified type of brake fluid to the reservoir. Below are the precautions for bleeding air from car brake fluid: 1. After performing the air bleeding operation or checking and replenishing the brake fluid, ensure the reservoir cap is tightened to minimize the time the brake fluid is exposed to air, preventing it from absorbing moisture and reducing its performance. 2. When replenishing brake fluid, the amount should not exceed the upper limit (MAX or HIGH) mark. 3. Brake fluid should not be mixed with other brands of brake fluid.
