A complete kit for brake maintenance Shimano

A properly carried out bleed procedure allows the hydraulic fluid to be replaced and any air in the system to be removed. This helps to restore smooth braking performance and a good feel at the lever.

The TL-BR-KIT brings together all the main components required for this operation in a single set. The TL-BR001 syringe features a specialised connector for attaching the tube to the caliper’s bleed nipple. The clip provided allows you to control the flow and minimise leaks during use.

Two funnels for different levers Shimano

One of the advantages of the Shimano professional kit is that it offers two different funnel systems.

The TL-BR002 is designed for ST-type levers, with an M7 × 0.75 connector. The TL-BR003 is designed for BL-type levers, with an M5 × 0.8 connection. This design allows you to work directly with the corresponding interfaces without needing multiple adaptors.

The funnels also feature a system designed to prevent spillage and facilitate the handling of the liquid during bleeding.

Four bleeding spacers included

The kit also includes 4 types of bleed spacers. These ensure the correct spacing is maintained at the caliper during the bleeding operation.

Shimano Please note that the bleed spacers must be used in accordance with the procedure specific to the relevant brake model. The bleeding and filling method may vary depending on the brake model: it is therefore important to consult the documentation Shimano specific to your system before carrying out any work.

Expert advice: before bleeding, identify your exact brake model and use only the Shimano mineral fluid recommended for your system. Never mix Shimano mineral fluid with DOT fluid used by certain other braking systems. Shimano also recommends wearing eye protection during maintenance operations.
