Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)At some point, you'll need to bleed your Hayes hydraulic brakes.
Buy this kit instead of the cheaper, smaller kit that's available. It'll save you a lot of hassles.
The hoses in the box didn't match up with all of the lengths described in the parts list in the kit, but there was enough tubing to assemble everything. It's a bit complicated to assemble; the pictures aren't very clear, sort-of like a 1970's motorcycle maintenance manual. Download the instructions from Hayes' web site first. Note that the instructions take more time to read than the time it takes to actually bleed the brakes. After you do it the first time, it seems trivial.
Brake bleeding on a bicycle is messy. The adapter that fits into the master cylinder bleed hole makes for a questionable attachment; push it in tight or you'll have brake oil everywhere. Even so, you'll still get some brake fluid splashing around.
4 stars because there should be an easier way to bleed a $400 brake system
