Flushing Hyd Brakes

[Pig Pen]

Looking for suggestions/ information on the best way to flush out hyd brakes on a Load Rite 5 Star trailer.....is there a kit one can purchase to ensure they really can be flushed out?? :shock: Thanks in advance

There is all kinds of utube stuff. When I flushed my trailer I used the can and a tube off the brake assembly. Filled the can with fluid to check for air bubbles. I used a screw driver to pump the actuator. Make sure you have enough fluid so you can refill the reservoir as you go.

You need a compressor to power this tool, as it suck's a vacuum on the system.

I use the Super Blue Fluid to tell when the old is removed. No pumping is required. Suck the Brake fluid out of the MC and Replace with the Super Blue. Add Super Blue to the bottole and turn it upside down into the MC and open the valve. Now go put the other piece by each wheel starting farthist back and open the bleeder with the apratius attached.

I can do a 4 WD truck complete in 20min, cause I don't have to jack it up or pull a wheel.

I just bled my brakes solo by using my TopSider oil change dip stick sucker outter. I fond a soft rubber hose that fit perfect over the harder dip stick probe. Using the line clamp just unclamped the hose, TopSider sucked it right out via the bleeder. I only let it pull the fluid for a short time as not much was needed to get the air out as the vacuum could easily drain the lines.
