Tips on working techniques
Brake fluid is poisonous. Do not allow it to come into contact with your mouth.
Brake fluid corrodes car paint. Therefore, do not place rags soaked in brake fluid or tools stained with it on the paintwork.
When removing the brake hose or brake pipe, all the fluid gradually flows out of the expansion tank. This can be prevented in the following way: before unscrewing the screw connection, loosen the bleed valve in the corresponding brake circuit. Put the bleed hose on it and lower it into the container. Now fully depress the brake pedal and leave it in this position with the help of a wooden board. In this way, the feed holes in the cylinders are closed - the brake fluid no longer flows out.
To loosen and tighten the brake pipes, you must purchase a brake pipe wrench.
After working on the hydraulics of the brake system, it is necessary to remove the air. It is often sufficient to bleed only the brake circuit on which the work was carried out.
