Question

The brakes are being bled on a passenger vehicle with a disc/drum brake system. Technician A says that the drums should be removed before bleeding. Technician B says that the fluid in the master cylinder should be kept low during the bleeding procedure. Who is right?

Answer 1

The brakes are being bled on a passenger vehicle with a disc/drum brake system is described in the following

Explanation:

1.Risk: Continued operation at or below Rotor Minimum Thickness can lead to Brake system failure. As the rotor reaches its minimum thickness, the braking distance increases, sometimes up to 4 meters. A brake system is designed to take kinetic energy and transfer it into heat energy.

2.Since the piston needs to be pushed back into the caliper in order to fit over the new pads, I do open the bleeder screw when pushing the piston back in. This does help prevent debris from traveling back through the system and contaminating the ABS sensors

3.There are three methods of bleeding brakes: Vacuum pumping. Pressure pumping. Pump and hold.

4,Brake drag is caused by the brake pads or shoes not releasing completely when the brake pedal is released. ... A worn or corroded master cylinder bore causes excess pedal effort resulting in dragging brakes. Brake Lines and Hoses: There may be pressure trapped in the brake line or hose after the pedal has been released.
