How to Bleed Your Tektro Brakes in 7+ Simple Steps

Bleeding brakes is something every mechanic should know how to do. If you don't bleed your brakes regularly, they'll wear out faster and eventually fail.

Tektro brakes are great. They provide excellent stopping power, and they last longer than other brands. However, bleeding them can be tricky. If you don't bleed them properly, you risk damaging the brake pads or causing a fire hazard.

A brake bleeding procedure involves letting the brake fluid flow freely through the lines and out of the calipers after removing air from the system.

You should always bleed brakes before using them. There are several methods to do this. Taking off the top cap of the master cylinder reservoir is the easiest way to do so. Then, turn off the ignition and let the vehicle sit for 15 minutes. After that time:

1. Release the parking brake and slowly depress the pedal.
2. Once the brake pedal reaches its lowest position, stop depressing it.
3. Wait a further fifteen minutes before turning the car on.
4. Repeat these steps until the brake pedal stops rising.
