How important are the brakes?
Today I'm going to bleed the rear hydraulic disc brake system with the basic kit
The basic kit comes with: Syringe with tube
Oil funnel and stopper
and oil catch tank
Let's start by removing the disc brake pads
This is to prevent any oil spills
Take off the nipple cap
Place a 7mm socket wrench in place
and connect the tube to the bleed nipple
Rotate the brake lever so that it's parallel to the ground
Remove the screw and then put in the oil funnel
Insert a bleed block or socket wrench between the pistons
Loosen the blade fitting and start the bleeding process
Push the plunger until there are no more air bubbles mixed in with the oil that is coming out
Plug the oil stopper and remove the oil funnel
Install back the brake pads and test the lever
If everything is good, remove the syringe and put back the wheel
At last, lift the front wheel up of the bike and press the brake lever repeatedly
If it's getting loose, remove the reservoir cover
Take out any remaining air bubbles by pressing the brake lever and fill up the brake oil if necessary
