HOW TO FIX SPONGY OR WEAK HYDRAULIC BRAKES // SHIMANO

Showing how to fix weak or mushy brakes by replacing air with mineral oil on shimano brakes this simple bleed can be done on most modern shimano brakes. This method can be used for setting up brand new brakes that have not been bled, or used for old brakes that have slowly gained air overtime.

Thanks my dude, now i know that i have to bleed my brakes since my bike hasn't been to a mechanic for awhile

[janisbruvers]

Thank you for the instructions!
It would help If you'd put the names of each part needed in the description below the video, or even better a link to where to buy them. Because I couldn't really get the name out of the audio.

Good work. Super easy to follow. Thanks

Great video guys. Learned a few things on there.
No need to rush the video guys - more details the better :) Was trying to see if my brakes are the same & if my screws are in the same places you were showing.

Brilliant work. Nicely presented. Thank you

Great information - thank you from Germany 👋

Video makes it look very simple - is it? On a scale of quick bike maintenance, with 1 being removing disc brakes to 10 (tightening spokes properly) where does this stand? Hoe much "touch" or "feel" goes along with this?
PS, yes, I've turned inexpensive problems into expensive ones trying to replace my own spokes. There is an art to it!

[explorewithant]

I didn’t no it was that easy, , cheers guys, , do I need to take the old oil out or is it ok, , where did you get the bleed kit from

[Adam-fusr]

I’ve been literally leaving my bike to my bike cycle mechanic to fix this and they never done it once probably cause I don’t know shit. But thanks for this information!

Do I need to take the brake pads out??

[duncandee]

Good video lads well done helps me alot 👍

[Dantectez]

So I had no idea what I was doing with my tektro brakes and was trying to replace the pads which I guess didn't need replacing but down at the caliper I unscrewed the wrong screw right and all the liquid leaked out and now my frying brake has 0 power, when you pull it, it goes to the handle bar with 0 effect, I tried the brake bleeding thing with a kit I ordered with the correct mineral oil but still my brake has zero power what am I doing wrong how can I fix it please, I don't understand it very much and it's very frustrating, I just want my bike to work right please help someone
