replacing hydraulic pipe, about necessary preparations

[mako]

Hi, all.

I have a leak in lhm pipe between the regulator block and suspension, going round accumulator as shown in the pictures.



before replacing, do I have to discharge all LHM in tank, in addition to depressurizing the system ?

and after being replaced, should I bleed brake fluid to remove air bubbles ?

I would appreciate any advice.

Hi Mako, you don't need to drain the lhm tank, when disconnecting the pipe you should only loose the fluid in the pipe as after de-pressurizing nothing should syphon down. At any time after opening the hydraulic system it is best practice to bleed the brakes.

Hi, Robert

Thank you for advice.
the lhm pipe is going to arrive today, so I will try it soon after.

I have replaced the leaking hydraulic pipe, resulted in a very little LHM spillage.

and it seems OK for now.

Thanks for advice.
