WHAT DOES BLEEDING BRAKES MEAN?

Bleeding your brakes is necessary when air bubbles enter your brake fluid line, which could be due to:

  • A leak
  • Insufficient braking fluid in the master cylinder 
  • A brake work 

When air enters your brake fluid line, your brake pedal may feel soft and spongy when you press down on it. If your brake pedal feels that way, it signifies that your brakes need bleeding.

The bleeding brakes process involves a technician using bleeder screws on your brake calipers or wheel cylinders to remove any air bubbles in the system.
