This episode shows how I bleed the brakes with the Motive pressure bleeder. Of course there are LOTS of methods...and all do the job. I just usually work solo, and this system is handy for me. Hope you guys find this helpful...or at least better than watching coronavirus coverage.

DOT 5 is silicone based. Simple test to see if you have DOT 5 in your system...
– Draw some fluid from the reservoir (dropper or syringe). – Put it into a glass jar with clean water. – Shake well and let stand – If the water and the fluid have combiined and you can't see layers or blobs, you DON'T have silicone (DOT 5). You likely have either DOT 3 or DOT 4. – If the water and the fluid are layered or blobby, the fluid is Silicone. Note...DOT 5.1 is not silicone, but DOT 5 is. SO confusing... The problem with mixing silicone with non-silicone is kinda exactly what happens in the water test. The fluid coagulates in the system and is a mess to clean out. |
