Brake systems are essential for any car, truck, or motorcycle. If something were to happen and your brake system stopped working, you could potentially lose control of your vehicle. In this article, we will show you how to flush your Durmax brake system.
Why Do I Need to Flush My Durmax Brake System?
If your Durmax brake system has been leaking fluid, you will need to flush it. This is because the fluid can corrode the lines and fittings, and can also contain debris that can stop the brake from working properly.
How to Flush the Durmax Brake System
If you’re experiencing a Brake System Issue, it’s important to know how to flush the system in order to correct the issue. The following steps should be followed in order:
1. Remove the brake caliper by prying off the retaining clip on each side of the caliper.
2. Remove the brake pads by pushing down on each pad from above and pulling them off of the rotors. Make sure to wear gloves to protect your hands from brake fluid and debris.
3. Place a plastic container under each rotor and pour about three quarts of fresh brake fluid onto the rotor surfaces. Be sure to avoid spilling any fluid onto the ground or into waterways. Repeat this step until all of the brake fluid has been poured onto the rotors.
4. Replace each caliper by re-inserting the retaining clips and pressing down on each pad until they are seated against the rotors. Reattach the brake hose connection by threading it through the hole located on each side of the caliper and then pulling it tight. Make sure that no parts of the hose are caught on anything as you tighten it down.
5. Reconnect any wiring that was disconnected during removal
What to do if the Flushing Process Does Not Work
If your Durmax Brake System does not flush properly, there are several things that you can try to get the system working again.
Here are a few tips to try if your brake system is not flushing:
– Check the connection between the reservoir and the lines. Make sure that they are connected securely and that there is no debris stuck in between them.
– Clean out any gunk or debris that may be blocking the flow of fluid. Use a plunger or a vacuum cleaner to suck it out.
– Check the pressure of the fluid in the reservoir. If it’s low, add more fluid until it reaches the required level.
Conclusion
If you are experiencing a sudden decrease in pedal feel or if your brake fluid level is low, it is important to flush the Durmax brake system. To flush the Durmax brake system, first remove the cap and unscrew the brass bolt. Next use a funnel to fill the reservoir with clean brake fluid and screw on the brass bolt. Finally, replace the cap and screw on the brass nut.
