when you pump the lever to get the HD fluid down in the hose to the caliper.. use a vibrator (for massage ) to help get the bubbles out of the line.. You can rubber band the vibrator to the hose just blow handlebar height. That works well.. bubbles come right up to the reservoir funnel...

You could pull the lever prior to removing the funnel. Then before releasing reinsert the bleedscrew... that way you shouldn leak any or a lot less since the oil is being sucked downn instead of just chillin at the top...ive never done it just a thought

i have hydraulic breaks i have to use oil, but why do i have to put oil? and when should i put oil and how much oil do i put
@mtbnoob6464
Жыл бұрын
I'm definitely no scientist, but here's what I understand happens. When you squeeze the breaks it creates pressure because there is oil in the line, the pressure then forces the brake pads together which squeezes the disk brakes that actually slows you down. If there is air in the line, when you squeeze the breaks the pressure in the line doesn't increase enough, meaning it won't squeeze the brake pads all the way. You want as little air in the line as possible at all times! Hope this helps! Keep shredding!

Is it just too difficult for people to follow the basic instructions for gravity bleeding brakes? I can’t believe anyone would go to the trouble of buying the supplies and then just leave the obviously contaminated (black and dirty) fluid in the system in order to avoid taking a few more minutes to learn how to do the job right and to make sure it’s done properly.

Worked like a charm. The best part is leaving all the extra stuff in the package and never using it! And it does take some persistence and a lot of squeezes. And jostling the bike a little, which dislodged some of the air bubbles I guess, but gently so the oil doesn't slosh out of the funnel.

eeasy wayto do it is instead of fulls squeezes the wshole time.... literally flick the handle ,you dont need to movei t much... just enough to cause internal movement... it works the best ... to make it even better tilt the bike to the sides as well as turning the handlebars to the max...will get a ton of air out

Very good. Booked my bike at the bike shop to do this after messing it up. I had successfully done Shimano brakes with a kit but found it very difficult. tried again on another bike following this video. Nearly done it. 15-20 mins of getting bubbles out and back brake working again but still rather soft. Another go on the bubbles and I should be there. I now see the Tektro brake reservoir may have 2 fill points and I was using one a big large so got some leakage. Will try next time with another fill point
