What should be noted after changing brake fluid?
1 Answers
Here are the precautions to take after changing brake fluid: 1. Avoid air contamination in brake fluid: The most critical issue when changing brake fluid is preventing air from entering the system. If air gets mixed in, all efforts will be wasted. Do not skip the necessary steps for safety—bleed the system again until no air remains. 2. Tighten the drain bolts to prevent leaks: Loose drain bolts at the brake calipers are often due to carelessness. If the bolts are not tightened properly, brake fluid leakage can have serious consequences. Failing to notice this while driving can pose a significant hazard. Therefore, after changing the brake fluid, it is best to check if all bolts are securely tightened. Additionally, brake fluid is highly corrosive and can damage other parts of the car.
