For identification, a contaminated seal can be

compared with a new seal (but do not allow them

to touch). If the old one is appreciably larger, seal

contamination is indicated. Whenever wheel

cylinders are serviced, replace seals and dust

covers from appropriate wheel cylinder kit.

FLUSHING BRAKE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

It is always recommended that entire hydraulic

system be thoroughly flushed with clean brake

fluid whenever new parts are installed in it. Period

change of brake fluid is also recommended.

BLEEDING OF HYDRAULIC SYSTEM:

The process of removing air from the hydraulic

pipelines and cylinder is known as “Bleeding”. The

brake hydraulic lines are based on diagonal split

system. Whenever any brake line or hose is

disconnected at the wheel, bleeding operation

must be performed at both the ends of the line of

the removed pipe or hose. (i.e. if the rear left side

brake pipe or hose is disconnected, both the rear

left and front right side of the system is to be

bleeded)

When any joint part of the Master cylinder, other

joint part between the master cylinder and each

brake of the wheel is removed or the level of

brake fluid in the reservoir has been allowed to fall

so low that the air has been drawn into the

system, then the hydraulic brake system must be

bled at all 4 wheel brakes.
