Special Instructions

This kit is for DOT OIL only! Please do not put Mineral-based brake fluid, or any other fluids, into these components. Thanks!

Please clean the components of the kit before putting them back in the case! Clean the outside of components with a little isopropyl alcohol and a wipe down–Thanks :) A small amount of brake fluid in the syringes and/or the hoses is not a problem. 

If you drain your old brake fluid into the waste oil container (Brake Bleed Caddy) you can bring it back and we'll dispose of it!
