Check of tightness of brake system

For monitoring procedure the lower part of a body has to be dry that you could make out not tight places. Brake fluid gets and under dirt. Places, dark from moisture, force to assume leak.

PERFORMANCE ORDER

Check all places of connections, and also supports of the disk brake mechanism and guards of the drum brake mechanism behind which wheel brake cylinders are located.
Hoses of brake system should not be damp, swelled or rubbed. Otherwise they need to be replaced.
Pipelines of brake system have a corrosion-resistant coating. If to damage this protective layer, formation of a rust can begin. Therefore it is never impossible to clean serviceable pipelines of brake system by means of a screw-driver, an emery cloth or a wire brush.
If the protective layer is damaged, it is necessary to put with a thin layer an anticorrosion primer.
Tubes with traces of a rust or squeezed need to be replaced.
Whether all valves of pumping are protected by protective caps? They are on supports of disk brake mechanisms or in guards of drum brake mechanisms.
You can carry out the improvised inspection of pressure in brake system:
Squeeze out a brake pedal with a full force.
It should not give in and after several minutes of full loading, otherwise one of cuffs of the main brake cylinder is defective.
Because of not tight cuff liquid level in a tank does not go down, however the squeezed liquid flows via the piston in the main brake cylinder on other party where pressure is absent.
Not tight places on cuffs of pistons of supports of disk brake mechanisms and brake cylinders of drum mechanisms can be distinguished in dark places on supports disk or guards of drum brake mechanisms.
If you are not sure – address in a workshop.
