Brake System Bleeding
Brake bleeding removes air from hydraulic circuits after repair or other work on the system. Unlike fluid, air compresses and can alter pedal travel. We check for leaks first, because bleeding alone cannot stop air entering again. The sequence and method follow the vehicle design while the required fluid level is maintained. If the hydraulic unit needs a separate guided procedure, this is explained before it is carried out. Pedal operation and leak checks are used to assess the result.
Symptoms
- A spongy or excessively soft pedal after a circuit has been opened.
What's included
- Check sealing and possible causes of air entry.
- Prepare fluid of the correct specification.
- Remove air from the circuits in the required sequence.
