h*****g 发帖数: 1523 | 1 没有想象的复杂,就是拆轮胎比较费劲。
需要以下东西:
1. penetrating oil - bleeder的螺丝一般都是锈死的,喷点这个油好松;
2. 1/4 inch ID的塑料软管,ebay上面很多,买一段就行,就几块钱;内径必须是1/4
inch左右,否则漏气,大部分车都是这个尺寸。
3. 透明的矿泉水瓶一个,不用太大,普通16oz的就可以。
4. 基本的工具,主要是扳手。
一般后面两个轮子是要拆下来的,前面的两个轮胎可以不拆,方向盘打偏就可以够到
bleeder。但是因为我的扳手不给力,所以前面两个轮子也拆了。
四个轮子是分开bleed/flush的,次序一般是:右后-左后-右前-左前(如果reservoir
在左前方的话)。具体方法是先把brake fluid reservoir加满,bleed一个轮子;然后
再加满,下一个轮子,依次重复。期间需要另外一个人给你踩几下刹车。
我买了一瓶32oz的Valvoline DOT 3 and 4 Synthetic Brake Fluid,还剩了一点,没
用完。
所有材料的成本10刀(brake fluid和管子)。花了大概两个半小时,刹车效果明显改
善,感觉很不错.
前阵子quote了几个修车地方,费用在60-100刀这个范围。不值,有专业工具,最多半
个小时到45分钟的活。 |

wrench is typically 8mm or 10mm
you do not need to take off the wheels. at most jack up the car.
brake fluid change is one of the highest margin service and the most easy
DIY.
congratulations.

h*****g 发帖数: 1523 | 5 我是用socket先松开,然后迅速装上管子;再用活动扳手继续松开。
直接用活动扳手上,的确会拧花螺丝的,谢谢提醒!

h**********r 发帖数: 2284 | 8 If your current brake doesn't take a long distance to brake, you don't even
need to bleed the brake system. Just replace the dirty fluid in the master
cylinder, which is actually what many dealerships do to "change the brake
fluid".
Only in the specific situation that there's bubbles in the tubes, you'll
need to bleed brake system. However, in this situation, it is very obvious
and tangible that the brake won't work - the brake needs to be pressed down
more and more to stop the car.
Anyway, it's good to change the entire system fluid. Great DIY.

h*****g 发帖数: 1523 | 10 we have a local facility which recycles brake fluid and coolant, different
from used oil.

The brake fluid reservoir on my car has a filter embedded in on the top, it
is difficult to get the fluid out.

h**********r 发帖数: 2284 | 12 That filter can be taken out easily. Unless it's permanently fixed into the
master cylinder, you should be able to use hands to take it out.
Well, perhaps the filter of some makes and models cannot be removed.
Anyway, it's a good investment to replace brake fluid!
