Driving a car is liberating. It gives you the freedom to go wherever you need to, whenever you need it. You rely on your automobile to get to you to work, school, and doctors’ appointments and for leisurely weekend travel. That is – until it isn’t working. As anyone who has ever experience car troubles knows, when there an issue with your car, getting it fixed and back in running order is a priority.
Aside from the engine that keeps the car running, your braking system is vital to keeping you safe on the road. Your car brakes ensure you stop when you’re supposed to, keep a safe distance from others on the street and that you’re not at risk of crashing.
When your car brakes go, there could be a simple task of replacing the pads needed, or you may have worn the shoe and rotors. You might need new brake lines, calipers. There is a lot at play to make stopping your car happen.
In this post, we’re focused exclusively on the very important last step of bleeding your brakes when you change them.
Here is a rundown of why it’s so important to do this before you take your car back on the road.
During the brake bleeding process, the release of air bubbles in the lines means that sufficient brake fluid is delivered to the brakes and they can operate properly when needed. During the process, brake fluid is pumped through the lines to spill out of the bleeder valve and release the trapped air bubbles. Doing this will result in better hydraulic pressure in the braking system and less of a spongy feel when you tap them to come to a stop.
