Replacing the brake fluid is a maintenance task that is often overlooked, as it is assumed that in a closed circuit like the brakes, wear issues do not arise. In reality, one factor that can affect the efficiency of this fluid is heat, and significant heat is generated when braking.

To perform this maintenance yourself, you will need a pump to connect to the brake fluid reservoir to maintain pressure in the system while introducing clean oil as you bleed the valves located at each wheel. First, unscrew the cap of the brake fluid reservoir and connect the pump, increasing the pressure and introducing clean oil while loosening each valve one at a time at each wheel: close the valve when clean oil begins to flow out.
