It much easier to service Shimano hydro brake if compare with Juicy and Hayes. Actually I’m referring to the tools that can be used for this messy job, adding oil and bleeding air for hydro brake. To bleed Juicy, it needs specific tools that cost you a lot and I feel like not worth to buy it, besides it also hard to find in the market.
For those who own the Shimano hydro brake especially BR-M575, this is the tools that you need. DIY!
Bleeding Tools (Homemade)
1. Syringe 20ml – do some modification by putting the hose as shown in the picture.
2. Oil Funnel & Stopper (BR-M575 Only) – it comes with the brake
3. Shimano Mineral Oil
4. 7mm socket wrench
5. Plastic Bottle (Not shown) – used to keep flowing oil from the caliper.
It’s good to know how to service the brake by yourself, it’s not that complicated as long as you know what you are doing. Click Here for the instruction and I believe everybody managed to do it.
