Hydraulic System: Service and Repair
Scrupulous cleanliness is essential when removing, dismantling, assembling and installing components forming part of the hydraulic brake system. Clean removed and dismantled components in clean brake fluid or a special cleaning fluid for hydraulic brake components. Wipe the parts dry using clean, lint free paper or cloth. Gaskets, circlips and rubber parts are available as repair kits and old ones should be discarded.
Before assembly, the components should be generously lubricated with clean, unused brake fluid of the recommended specification.
Important:
- Brake fluid can damage painted surfaces.
- Take care to ensure that the brake fluid does not come into contact with the car's paint work
