Bleeding pushes air out of the brake hydraulic system. This should be done anytime a component in the hydraulic brake system has been replaced. Flushing of the entire hydraulic system is recommended every 2 years or 24,000 miles. This procedure removes moisture (water from condensation), sludge, or other contaminants from your system and helps prolong the life of your brake components.
