i changed my back brakes and a little fluid dripped out the screw where the hose is attached to i want to know do u think air got in how could i tell if i have air in brake lineI have a 98 explorer?
When you replace the brake pads, you need to bleed the sy stem anyways so it does not matter...just bleed them. Start from the rear right, then rear left, then the front right and the front left the last. You will need two people to do this job unless you have a one person bleeding tool which you can find at any parts store.
If they are spongy then there is air in the system for sure.
It is hard to reach to bleeder without removing the tires, but it is douable. You will need to lift the car and put it safely on jack stand...shops have car lifts so they don't have to. You will have to crowl underneith the vehicle if you don't jack it up. The front tire, you may get by just by turning the wheels each time.
Good luckI have a 98 explorer?
That will be soft and not stop well.If it is still leaking get if fixed asap,if it is not leaking bleed the brakes and you will be fine.Pump the pedal 4-5 time and on the last pump hold the pedal and have someone crack the bleeder and keep doing this until all the air is out and ur done.I have a 98 explorer?
that fluid you see is brake fluid. probably the bleeder is,nt tight. you don,t have to take the tires off to bleed the brakes. on the back you can get down and reach the bleeder and on the front just turn the wheels to reach the bleeders.
