TDC Brake Bleeder Tower Tool

If your kart is equipped with non - self - adjusting brakes, this is an indispensable tool for you. Bleeding your brakes is a crucial maintenance step to ensure top - notch brake performance. Brake fluid degrades when it heats up and cools down, and also when it sits idle. The brake seals in the master cylinder wear out over time and need replacement. This tool is a perfect fit for non - self - adjusting brake systems. Such systems typically have return springs on the screws that attach the brake pads to the calipers. It comes with a standard 10mm bleeder screw, which is the most commonly used size in kart brake systems.

Using this TDC brake bleeder tower tool is easy. First, make sure your kart's engine is off and it's parked safely. Locate the brake system with non - self - adjusting brakes. Check the brake fluid level in the master cylinder and top it up if needed. Attach the tool to the 10mm bleeder screw. Start the process of bleeding the brakes by following the standard procedure of opening and closing the bleeder screw while someone presses the brake pedal. Remember, always wear safety glasses during this process to protect your eyes from any splashing brake fluid. As for maintenance, after each use, clean the tool thoroughly to prevent any brake fluid residue from corroding it. Store it in a dry place. And regularly check the 10mm bleeder screw for any signs of wear or damage. If you notice the brake performance deteriorating even after using this tool, it might be time to check and replace the brake seals in the master cylinder.
