Brake Fluid and Lubrication

Oh, dude, the master cylinder is like the boss of the brake system, it holds the brake fluid and sends it to the wheel cylinders. The wheel cylinders, on the other hand, are like the worker bees, they use the pressure from the brake fluid to push the brake shoes against the drum or pads against the rotor to stop the car. So, in a nutshell, the master cylinder is the brains, and the wheel cylinders are the brawn of the brake system.

Oh, dude, filling the brake fluid reservoir on a '76 Chevy truck is like super easy. You just pop open the hood, locate the reservoir near the back of the engine bay, unscrew the cap, and pour in some brake fluid until it's at the max line. Just make sure you use the right type of brake fluid, or else it's gonna be a real bummer.

No, pool shock (calcium hypochlorite) and red dot3 brake fluid do not make methamphetamine. Methamphetamine is a synthetic drug typically made using pseudoephedrine or ephedrine as a key ingredient, along with other chemicals such as anhydrous ammonia, red phosphorus, and lithium. These chemicals are highly regulated and controlled substances due to their potential for misuse and harm. It is illegal and dangerous to attempt to manufacture methamphetamine using household chemicals like pool shock and brake fluid.

Oh honey, a 1997 Honda Civic uses good ol' DOT 3 brake fluid. Make sure you check that level regularly, we don't want you running on empty when it comes to stopping power. And please, don't even think about mixing different types of brake fluid - that's a recipe for disaster, darling.

Oh, dude, making meth is not a cool thing to do. It's illegal and dangerous. If you want to learn about chemistry, there are way better and safer experiments out there, like making a volcano with baking soda and vinegar. Stay away from that Breaking Bad stuff, okay?

This question is not complete. The correct scenario begins with 4 dots arranged in a square. The challenge is as follows: # Draw three straight line. # You cannot lift your pencil. # You can not cross over any lines. # You must end on the same dot you start with. The solution is to simply think outside the box. Draw a large triangle. Start with your pencil on a single dot (We'll use the bottom left for this example). Draw a straight line to the right that extends past the dot on the bottom right. Then draw from that point diagonally towards the top left, going through the dot at the top right, and ending directly above the two left dots. Finally draw a line straight down, going through the top left and ending at the bottom right.

There is a plastic cover that needs removed. Its the cover that is inside the passenger side wheel well. To remove this cover properly there are three bolts and two nuts. One of the nuts is located under the headlight on the frame, so the headlight needs removed. It is the located on the pipe that comes out the exhaust manifold.

Swallowing auto brake fluid can be harmful and may cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, difficulty breathing, and even chemical burns in the mouth, throat, and stomach. It can also lead to more serious complications like damage to the kidneys, heart, and nervous system. Seek immediate medical attention if brake fluid is ingested.

If I understand your question right you are saying you have air in your brake lines and you need to 'Bleed' them. As you know Brakes are just as important as the engine and the car itself.
If you do not do them as prescribed the results can be catastrophic when you really need the brakes. There is to much liability involved if I forget to include a step, so I recomend you visit the free site I post below this paragraph. It is very helpful and they go in to good detail. I followed it to a 'T' and then i had a recognized brake and muffler outlet check them. They were pleased I did this and the brakes passed with flying colors. www.autozone.com/shopping/repairGuide.htm

When you are driving slowly with your foot off the brakes you will hear a scraping noise. The noise will go away when you apply the brakes. What you are hearing is the wear indicators making contact with the rotor surface after the pad lining have worn down to a certain level. Not all brakes uses wear indicators. VBD

Accidentally pouring transmission fluid into the brake fluid reservoir is a serious mistake and can have detrimental effects on your vehicle's braking system. Transmission fluid and brake fluid serve completely different purposes and have distinct properties.

Transmission fluid is designed for lubricating and cooling the transmission components, while brake fluid is crucial for the proper functioning of the braking system. Brake fluid is a hydraulic fluid that transmits force within the brake system, and it has specific properties to withstand high temperatures.

If transmission fluid is added to the brake fluid reservoir:

Loss of Brake Functionality: Transmission fluid is not suitable for use in the brake system, and it lacks the necessary properties for hydraulic braking. Mixing the two can compromise the integrity of the brake fluid, leading to a loss of braking functionality.

Damage to Brake Components: Brake seals, hoses, and other components are not designed to handle transmission fluid. The introduction of transmission fluid can lead to damage to these components, resulting in brake system failure.

Reduced Braking Performance: Transmission fluid may cause the brake fluid to become less effective, leading to reduced braking performance. This compromises the safety of the vehicle and increases the risk of accidents.

If such an error occurs, it is crucial to address it immediately:

Do Not Drive: Refrain from driving the vehicle as compromised brake functionality poses a significant safety risk.

Professional Inspection: Seek the assistance of a qualified mechanic to inspect and flush the entire brake system. Flushing involves removing the contaminated fluid and replacing it with the correct brake fluid.

Component Replacement: Depending on the severity of the contamination, brake components may need to be replaced to ensure the safety and reliability of the braking system.

In summary, mixing transmission fluid with brake fluid can lead to severe consequences, and it is essential to rectify the mistake promptly by seeking professional assistance to prevent safety hazards and potential damage to the vehicle.

Have a helper pump the break pedal then hold it down. Loosen the bleeder valve on a brake caliper. The fluid will come out mixed with air. When the pedal gets to the floor, hold it down. Tighten the valve, then pump the pedal; again. Repeat the process until no air comes out. Move to all wheels and repeat the process.

Change the oil, change the oil and fuel filters, grease it, ensure the air filter is serviceable, make sure the brakes are in spec and the wheel seals are intact, ensure the lights work, ensure the tires are legal and inflated.

The most widely used method of locating a brake fluid leak is the direct approach: Look for the wet spots. Usually, when brake fluid is leaking, the brake fluid level being low is the second thing to be noticed; the first is that spot on the carpet, on the wheel, on the driveway, on the tire, on the road. When that is not what has prompted the question of leakage, a spraying of the fluid is to be suspected. This can occur each time the pedal is applied in slowing the car should a brake hose or line anywhere in the system have a cut or hole in it; and, the spray can be dispersed by the airstream flowing across the undercarriage of the vehicle while it is in motion, giving the appearance of 'disappearing fluid'. At a standstill, however, this leak also can be detected: Just look for the drip... Should a wheel cylinder(on drum brakes) be leaking, the fluid will soak the brake shoes and the inside of the drum; and, once the drum is removed for inspection(because the brakes aren't working properly), the evidence is clear: Everything's wet. Should a master cylinder seal be leaking, the carpet inside the cab will be wet(manual brakes) or the area between the booster and master cylinder will show the evidence of leaksge. If the paint on the booster is blistered below this contact area, it is likely due to brake fluid--- which blisters paint when spilled upon it. When a spray is particularly elusive to the eye, the ear sometimes proves faithful in finding the offender. With an assistant's foot pushing the pedal, the jet-stream may be picked-up by careful listening as it bounces off of plastic or metal surfaces. Everything is, after all, not always a one-person job. Good detective work often takes more than one set of eyes, ears, and so forth; and, this is an instance in which teamwork is indispensible--- even to the pros.

To add more brake fluid, the containder is located under the air filter. You have to take off the air filter to get under enough to get to it.

I have a 2003 New Beetle convertible I've been fighting with this morning. When I removed the plenum, and kept looking, I did finally find the brake reservoir (yellow cap, under some stuff and way in back). It's hard to get to, but I was able to get the cap off. However, I had to go back to the auto parts store to get a funnel with a long neck because that's the only way to get the fluid in without taking a bunch of hoses off. It can be done. Next step is getting the cap back on because of the grooves and the tightness of its location. Not fun.

Not being a chemist, I'm not sure how the seals will react. I've heard stories about seal swelling problems when adding a wrong fluids to a system. I had tried an experiment, setting seals into different fluids to monitor swelling over a period of a week with no conclusive results. Since the fluids are different, you don't know how the properties aside from swelling will affect the power steering. Such as how well it compresses, viscosity and so on. I would flush the system this week if it was mine. pukenstein@aol.com

When brand new, its clear, and slightly golden like vegetable oil. When used, its darker like olive oil- kinda yellow....BB New, CLEAN brake fluid is clear. If it's black, the seals are wearing/worn in your master cylinder or wheel cyliner/caliper Clear when new, turns brown with age.

I would replace that unfortunate mixture with fresh power steering fluid using the recommended fluid for the type of vehichle. Some use ATF (automatic transmission fluid) or Mineral Type fluid or most commomly regular Power Steering Fluid. Now...to change the old fluid. Find the return line to the reservoir. This line will be near the top of the the reservoir and under much less pressure than the feed/suction line. With the engine OFF...disconnect the return line from the reservoir. Have a helper hold this hose into a bucket. Start the engine...do not rev it! SLOWLY turn the steering wheel all of the way to right..then all the way to the left..then return it to the center position. Turn off the engine. This will empty the system. NEXT..put the return hose back on and secure it. Fill the reservoir with new fluid and replace the cap. Start the engine and repeat the wheel turning step once again. Stop the engine and check the fluid level. Fill the reservoir to the specified level. PRESTO!!! You should be in good shape as far as the power steering fluid. . John In Montana

No it will kill u use salt water rinse or even a shot of alcohol works at times

Master cylinder reservoir should be under the hood at the driver's side firewall

it don't work?

No such thing... haha someone's probally playing with you... it's like a flux capacitor or muffler bearing it's something that doesn't exist
