I've never seen it done and would be leery until an acknowledged expert told me it was OK, but really, #1 works fine.ģ) Of course you will also flush the brake fluid, but the less fluid you lose, the easier it will be to get all the air bubbles out, so minimize fluid loss as much as possible per #1. Look for wet surfaces and signs of damage. Suspend the open line as high as you can to reduce dribble.Ģ) I really can't imagine clamping a brake hose without damaging it. Maybe some kind of rubber plug could be used, but never tried it - just put up with the dribbling. If there’s a hole or other damage to the brake lines, the fluid won’t be able to reach its destination without leaking. This will not entirely stop the dribble, but will definitely slow it down. The friction can be caused by a number of. You want to get the master cylinder piston past the port to the reservoir, but before you've pressurized the system. Brake calipers generally leak because the seal between them and the brake fluid is overheated from excess friction. ![]() Here are my comments:ġ) saran wrap would probably work, but I always slightly depress the brake pedal. ![]() I always like to start my comments with the disclaimer "I'm no expert", and I've never pulled the calipers off my 987, but I've done numerous other cars over the last few decades. ![]()
