2. Brake bleeding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_bleeding

   Specialised pumps may incorporate a method to automatically keep the brake fluid reservoir full during bleeding. In the reverse method, a pump is used to force fluid through the bleeder valve to the master cylinder. This method uses the concept that air rises in liquid and naturally wants to escape up and out of the brake system. Gravity ...

4. Brake fluid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_fluid

   The brake fluid in the tubes, in turn, pressurizes the brake slave cylinders, which are on each wheel. [22] [23] The slave cylinder pistons press down the brake pads. They encompass and compress the brake disk, and the rotation of the wheels slows down. In addition to transmitting pressure, brake fluid also keeps the brake system working optimally.

5. Bleed screw - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleed_screw

   On a hydraulic vehicle braking systems, the bleed screws (sometimes known as bleed nipples or bleeder valves) are located at the top of each brake caliper to allow bleeding of the braking system. Whenever service work has been performed on the braking system which might have introduced air into the system (i.e. the hydraulic system has been ...

6. Hydraulic brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_brake

   The driver's brake pedal simply controls a valve to bleed pressure into the brake units at the wheels, rather than actually creating the pressure in a master cylinder by depressing a piston. This form of brake is analogous to an air brake system but with hydraulic fluid as the working medium rather than air. However, on an air brake air is ...

7. Anti-lock braking system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-lock_braking_system

   Valves There is a valve in the brake line of each brake controlled by the ABS. On some systems, the valve has three positions: In position one, the valve is open; pressure from the master cylinder is passed right through to the brake. In position two, the valve blocks the line, isolating that brake from the master cylinder.
