Having a properly bled brake system is of extreme importance. Any air bubbles trapped in the system will cause increased stopping distances which reduces both safety and performance. The key to good brake bleeding is nice BMW X5 brake bleeder valves. If your BMW X5 brake bleeder valves are stripped or in poor condition they won't bleed properly and can let air back into the system. Here at Andy's Auto Sport we have a great selection of BMW X5 brake bleeder valves for you to choose from. If you are preparing to bleed your brakes invest in set of fresh valves. This inexpensive purchase will ensure that you get the job done right the first time.

A brake bleeder valve is essentially a small tapered bolt with holes drilled in it to allow fluid to escape when it is opened and maintain pressure when it is closed. The purpose of bleeding brakes is to get any trapped air bubbles out of the hydraulic system so that it can work without problems. One common issue with BMW X5 brake bleeder valves is that the wrench fitting strips so that it cannot be tightened down properly. This can lead to a fluid leak and to air being sucked back into the system. To guarantee a leak free brake bleed, new bleeder valves are the only solution.

Q: What is a brake bleeder valve? Why buy one?
A: Brake bleeder valves are small threaded valves that attach to your brake calipers and slave cylinders and allow you to bleed air and bubbles out of the hydraulic fluid in your brake system. In order to bleed the system you loosen these valves slightly allowing air and fluid to exit and then close the valve before any air can return to the system. These valves are extremely vulnerable to becoming stripped and frequently require replacement, especially on older vehicles. When it comes time to change your brake bleeder valves there are upgrade options available. New bleeder valves have been designed with internal spring loaded ball bearings that act as one-way valves. When you open one of these upgrade valves and push the pedal to the floor, fluid and air are allowed to exit like normal but the spring loaded ball bearing prevents any air from being sucked back in. This makes brake bleeding a one man job so you no longer have to trade favors with a friend to get your brakes finished.
