Brake flush is an essential maintenance procedure for your braking system. This video from our YouTube channel walks you through the steps of brake flush and why it’s so important.
What is a brake flush?
A brake flush is a service that is offered by some mechanics to clean and lubricate the brake pads on your car. Brake flushes are typically recommended if you notice a decrease in braking performance, or if the pads feel very dry.
How does a brake flush work?
Brake flush is a service that cleans and lubricates the brake system on your car. The flush is typically done when your brake pads start to wear down, or when you have to replace your brakes.
When the brake pads wear down, they start to create friction against the rotor. This friction causes rust and chunks of metal to build up on the rotor, which can eventually cause your brakes to fail. A brake flush helps to clean these parts and lubricate them so that they work more efficiently. In addition, a brake flush can also remove any deposits that may have built up over time on the rotors.
Why should I have my brakes flushed?
If your brakes are squeaking or making a grinding noise, it’s time to have them flushed. Brake fluid can collect in the calipers and rot the pads, causing them to wear out prematurely. Flushing the brakes also removes any debris that may be inhibiting the brake pads from functioning properly.
How do I schedule my brake flush?
Schedule your brake flush at least every three years to keep you car in top condition. Brake fluid can become contaminated with debris, acids and minerals over time, which can cause poor braking performance.
What will happen during my brake flush?
In order to flush your brakes, you will need to remove the wheel and brake caliper. You will also need to remove the brake pads and dust-off the brake rotor. Finally, you will need to clean the brake system with a brake flush solution. When performing this procedure, be sure to use caution as there is a risk of causing wear or damage to your brakes.
