Hagerty Motorsports: Bleeding Brakes

MAR 17, 2023 — Ask five people at your next SCCA event how they bleed their brakes and you’ll discover each person has a unique approach.

This is the topic of discussion in a story posted by Hagerty Motorsports, the Official Insurance Partner of the SCCA.

“So we agree that you want to keep air out of the system, but on the off chance that a few bubbles sneak in during a project, how do you remove them from the vehicle’s brake lines?” posits author Kyle Smith in an article he wrote for Hagerty Motorsports. “There are multiple ways to bleed a brake system, and understanding each method is important so that you can decide the best approach for your project.”
