Please tell I didnt F..K up my brakes
Well I finally did my first brake job today but as I was compressing the last piston caliper brake fluid came out Im thinking from the MS. I followed the DIY to a T and bleed the entire brake system 2 days prior. I haven't lost any stiffness in the pedal and drove it around the block and it doesn't seem to be leaking.
I read somewhere that "A puddle of brake fluid during service is OK" but not sure if that pertains to my situation. I will monitor the MS fluid level and continue to check all point where I worked to check for leaks. Before I started I was going to suck a little fluid out just to be safe but didn't. |
It should be fine. If you compressed every piston down and this happened at the last one, I'd say its normal.
Just make sure fluid level is back to normal after you pumped/used the brakes. And as you said, monitor it for a few days. ...Oh, and does MS = Master Sylinder? :tomato: |

Of course , by compressing all pistons the fluid level will rise in the reservoir and you have to suck them out .....in order to avoid brake fluid to overflow.

Derrrrrrr^^^ beat me to it
If you bled the brakes topped teh fluid off then a few days later put new brakes on the problem was was the Master cyl was full, then you pushed the fluid in the caliper into the MS and overfilled it and it came out. You should be fine. |
