What is the correct method for replacing brake fluid?
1 Answers
When it is necessary to replace the brake fluid, the correct method for replacing brake fluid involves the following steps: 1. Park the vehicle on a flat surface, turn off the engine, and open the hood. Use a syringe to extract the fluid from the reservoir until it is empty. 2. Fill the reservoir with new brake fluid. When pouring the brake fluid, use a funnel as much as possible to avoid spilling it onto the engine compartment, as brake fluid is corrosive. 3. Use a jack to lift the vehicle, starting with the rear wheels, and remove the tires. 4. Locate the bleeder screw on the brake caliper and remove the rubber dust cap. 5. Use a wrench to loosen the bleeder screw, attach a rubber hose to it, and connect the other end to a drain bottle. 6. Begin pumping the brake pedal, then stop and reinstall the tire. Repeat this process for the remaining three tires. 7. The brake fluid reservoir has upper and lower level marks; if needed, add new brake fluid appropriately.
