5. Bleed The System
Tools and equipment required:
- 2mm Allen wrench
- 4mm Allen wrench
- 7mm wrench
- T15 Torx® wrench
- 20cc syringe
- Piece of tubing
- Tektro brake fluid
- Piston holder
- A clean, empty bottle or plastic bag
- A cleaning towel
You should always bleed the system after you have shortened or replaced the hose or have opened the system to the air at any time.
Additionally, if the brake action feels spongy, you may improve performance by re-bleeding the system.
CAUTION: Cleanliness is a very important part of any maintenance of the Tektro hydraulic disc brake. If the pads or rotor become
contaminated with oil or if the hydraulics become contaminated with impurities, braking performance will be greatly impaired. Use
only Tektro brake fluid with the Tektro hydraulic disc brake. Other brake fluids may not be compatible and may damage the
system.
