FAQs
What kind of brake fluid should I use?
Always use the brake fluid type recommended by your vehicle manufacturer. This information can typically be found in your owner's manual or on the brake fluid reservoir cap.
How often should I bleed my brakes?
Brakes should be bled when air enters the system, such as after replacing brake components or if the brake pedal feels spongy. It's also a good idea to bleed your brakes every year or two as a preventative measure.
Can I use this kit on ABS-equipped vehicles?
Yes, this kit can be used on ABS-equipped vehicles. However, be sure to consult your vehicle's service manual for specific instructions as some ABS systems require a more involved bleeding procedure.
What do I do if I run out of brake fluid?
Stop the bleeding process and refill the brake fluid reservoir. Avoid allowing the reservoir to run dry during bleeding, as this will allow air into the system.
How do I dispose of used brake fluid?
Dispose of used brake fluid properly. Take it to a local recycling center or auto parts store that accepts used fluids. Never pour brake fluid down the drain or into the environment.
How much vacuum should I create?
Follow the instructions in the manual. Generally, you want to create enough vacuum to draw brake fluid through the system without causing damage.
What if the bleeder screw is stuck?
Try penetrating oil to help loosen it, and be careful not to overtighten and break the bleeder screw. If it is too difficult, consult a mechanic.
Troubleshooting
Brake fluid is not flowing.
Check all connections for leaks. Ensure the bleeder valve is open and the vacuum pump is creating a vacuum. Check that the reservoir is filled with brake fluid.
The pressure gauge is not registering pressure.
Check the connections of the pressure gauge. Ensure the vacuum pump is working correctly.
Air bubbles continue to appear.
Continue the bleeding process. Ensure the bleeder valve is closed before releasing the vacuum. Check all connections for leaks.
Adapters do not fit the vehicle.
Consult the instruction manual or your vehicle's service manual to determine the correct adapter size. You may need to purchase additional adapters.
