Regularly checking the fluid level is critical to avoid introducing air back into the system, which can compromise the bleeding effort.
The use of simple tools like a punch demonstrates that effective repairs can often be achieved with minimal equipment.
Checking the firmness of the pedal after bleeding ensures that the system is functioning correctly.
