TROUBLE SHOOTING
• When you depress the brake pedal hydraulic force is transferred to the brake
calipers. Air is much less dense when compared to the brake fluid. This means if air
is in the lines it will compress too easily. When this happens, your brakes will feel too
soft or even spongy. Bleed system
• If brakes continue to be unresponsive and soft, you may have water in the system.
Water has a much lower boiling point than brake fluid. With excessive use brakes get
hot. If the liquid in the systems reaches a boiling point, you could lose your brakes.
The pedal and brake lever might be unresponsive and not pump up, causing the
vehicle not to stop. Have your brake fluid tested, if contaminated have the
system serviced by a professional mechanic.
• Brake squeaks slightly after bleeding, when applied. Clean the rotors and add Disc
Brake Quiet aerosol spray to the back of the pads.
• Original equipment rubber brake hoses have a tendency to expand, which also
causes spongy brakes. With time they lose the ability to flex and bend, replace with
braided steel lines. They don't expand and offer a firmer, more consistent braking
experience.
