Sometimes I do, sometimes I forget. Never had a problem. But I'm doing front and back on two cars this weekend and wonder the correct way.
While swapping out disc brakes, should I open the brake fluid reservoir?
I think the type of car is irrelevant, but they are a 99 Chrysler LHS and an '03 Audi Quattro.
Thanks!
Should I open the brake reservoir when changing disc brakes pads?
Yes, if you want to facilitate you piston retraction, and no, if you're afraid that you'll forget to put the cover back...
Should I open the brake reservoir when changing disc brakes pads?
yes so there wont be any back pressure when you push the piston back in
on newer models the cap is vented so it's not nessesary unless somebody thought it was a good idea to add fluid to there resivore instead of replacing pads(bad idea) then you want to remove the cap so the extra fluid can make it to there firewall and floor easier
