Brake Fluid Replacement

Not only does the risk of vapor lock mentioned above make it necessary to change the brake fluid, but water that enters the brake fluid can lead to corrosion of the brake cylinders and lines. Rubber particles from worn seals should also be removed.

When changing the brake fluid, they act in the same way as when bleeding air. Approximately 2 liters of fresh brake fluid is required.

1. Take away a brake liquid from a tank a pipette or a pure syringe.

2. Fill with fresh brake fluid and top up regularly if necessary.

3. 500 cm must be pumped through each fitting³ brake fluid. Thanks to this relatively high amount of brake fluid, it will be ensured that the new brake fluid is not only mixed with the old one, but that the entire system is filled with the new brake fluid.

4. Who wants to act for sure, can remove the front brake calipers and pump out the brake fluid with the pistons completely recessed into the brake cylinders. In this way, most of the brake fluid in the front cylinders can be drained more quickly.

Note. Recommendation: Old brake fluid must not be drained into the sewer. It must be collected in a separate container and disposed of in a special waste container.
