Замена Тормозной Жидкости за 15 минут своими руками

Introduction

This tutorial will guide you through the process of replacing brake fluid in your vehicle in just 15 minutes. Regularly changing brake fluid is crucial for maintaining brake performance and safety. This guide will provide you with the necessary steps, tools, and tips to do it yourself, ensuring you understand the importance of the task and how to approach it efficiently.

Step 1: Gather Your Tools and Materials

Before you begin, make sure you have the following tools and materials ready:

• New brake fluid (check your vehicle's manual for the required type and amount)
• A wrench or socket set
• A brake bleeder kit or a piece of clear tubing
• A container for old brake fluid
• A funnel
• Protective gloves and goggles

Tip

Always use brake fluid that meets your vehicle’s specifications to avoid any damage to the brake system.

Step 2: Locate the Brake Fluid Reservoir

• Open the hood of your vehicle and locate the brake fluid reservoir. This is typically found near the back of the engine bay, close to the driver’s side.
• Inspect the fluid level. If it’s low, you’ll need to replace it.

Practical Advice

Make sure the engine is cool before working under the hood to avoid burns.

Step 3: Empty the Old Brake Fluid

• Use a syringe or a turkey baster to remove the old brake fluid from the reservoir. Dispose of the old fluid properly, as it is toxic.
• After removing the fluid, clean the inside of the reservoir with a cloth to prevent contamination.

Common Pitfall

Avoid letting the brake fluid spill on painted surfaces, as it can damage the paint.

Step 4: Add New Brake Fluid

• Using a funnel, pour the new brake fluid into the reservoir until it reaches the recommended level.
• Make sure to avoid overfilling.

Practical Tip

Check the fluid level again after a few minutes, as it may settle.

Step 5: Bleed the Brakes

• Start with the wheel farthest from the brake master cylinder (usually the rear passenger side).
• Use the brake bleeder kit or tubing to connect to the bleeder valve on the brake caliper.
• Open the valve using a wrench to allow old fluid and air to escape, then close it once fluid starts to flow out.
• Have an assistant pump the brake pedal several times to build pressure, then hold the pedal down while you open the bleeder valve to release air. Close the valve before the pedal is released.

Sequence for Bleeding Brakes

1. Rear passenger side
2. Rear driver side
3. Front passenger side
4. Front driver side

Step 6: Repeat Until No Air Bubbles Appear

• Continue the bleeding process until the brake fluid runs clear and free of air bubbles. This may take several cycles.

Note

Keep an eye on the brake fluid level in the reservoir during this process to ensure it doesn’t drop too low.

Step 7: Final Checks

• Once you have bled all the brakes, ensure all bleeder valves are closed securely.
• Recheck the brake fluid level in the reservoir and top up if necessary.
• Replace the cap on the brake fluid reservoir.

Conclusion

Replacing brake fluid is a straightforward task that can significantly enhance your vehicle's braking performance. By following these steps, you can effectively change the brake fluid yourself, ensuring your brakes function properly. Remember to perform this task every two years or as recommended by your vehicle manufacturer. For further maintenance, consider checking other components of your braking system.
