What are the precautions for replacing brake fluid?
1 Answers
Precautions for replacing brake fluid include: 1. Avoid introducing air into the brake fluid. Changing brake fluid requires careful coordination between two people to prevent accidental air ingress. One person should drain the fluid while observing, and the other should repeatedly press the brake pedal. New fluid must be replenished promptly and continuously. 2. Tighten the drain bolt to prevent leaks. Brake fluid is corrosive and can affect other car components. 3. Avoid introducing impurities and dust into the brake fluid. Brake fluid, also known as brake hydraulic fluid or braking liquid, is made from refined diesel distillates with thickeners and antioxidants. There are three types: mineral oil brake fluid, alcohol-based brake fluid, and synthetic brake fluid.
