Is the sequence of changing brake fluid from near to far?
1 Answers
The sequence of changing brake fluid is not from near to far. When replacing brake fluid and bleeding the pipelines in a vehicle's braking system, the general principle is to proceed in the order of 'from the farthest to the nearest from the brake master cylinder.' For left-hand drive vehicles: For left-hand drive vehicles, the bleeding sequence is 'right rear, left rear, right front, left front.' Reason for the sequence: When bleeding the brake fluid, because the pipeline to the farthest rear wheel is the longest, if the nearer front wheel is bled first, the air originally in the rear wheel pipeline will still remain, and the air cannot be completely bled out, resulting in poor braking performance. Therefore, the pipeline to the farther rear wheel should be bled first or the air in the pipeline to the farther rear wheel should be bled first before proceeding from far to near.
