yep. I change the brake fluid in my boat trailer, cars and pick-up.--- makes a big difference
I use it and works great. Was told by mechanic on a vehicle bleed brakes every 3-5 years depending on mileage and driving conditions. Boat trailer he said every 3 years.
I bought one of those vacuum guns from Amazon but I've never used it. I need to bleed my brakes really bad. What's the procedure? Single axle, TDE disc brakes. It's important to start on a particular side isn't it? What else should one know?
Don't worry Ma'am....
I'm only here for the Bass.
Bleeding the brakes is not hard.
1. Raise the jack tongue as high as it will go.
2. place jack stands under each axle.
3. blow compressed air around the bleeding screws.
4. remove the brake fluid cap. (important to keep the master cylinder full of brake fluid at all times.
(Best with an assistant. Do not get the fluid on the paint or road armor as it can/will damage the finish.)
5. bleed lines furthest from the master cylinder. use a flare wrench to loosen the bleeder screw. activate the bleeder then open the bleeder. close and then repeat process.
6. bleed the other side of the trailer line closest to master cylinder.
7. continue to bleed till fluid is clear and no air bubbles.
Bleeding the brakes/fluid every three years will prevent headaches and clostly repairs on brake lines rusting out and faulty master cyliner..
Lower the jack so the air in the brake lines can rise to the calipers away from the actuator.
