Hydraulic Brake Bleed Kit Upgrade Set

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I grabbed the Hydraulic Brake Bleed Kit Upgrade Set as soon as a customer came in with a new SRAM DB8 and my existing bleed kit came up short. The M4 x 0.8 adaptors fit perfectly and the whole service went off without having to improvise, which is exactly what you want when you are working on someone else's brakes."

Brake systems move faster than tool kits do, and the Park Tool Hydraulic Brake Bleed Kit Upgrade Set exists to close that gap. Designed to work with the Park Tool BKD-1 and BKM-1 Hydraulic Brake Bleed Kits, this six-piece update adds compatibility with the latest brake models from SRAM, Shimano, Trick Stuff, Campagnolo, and Hayes without requiring a full kit replacement. If you have been pushing a bleed job down the road because your current kit does not quite reach the new hardware on your bench, this is the fix.

The parts inside are specific and purposeful. The M4 x 0.8 adaptors address SRAM DB8, Trick Stuff, and Campagnolo mineral oil systems. The thin-walled hose compression sleeve and hose assembly with integrated fitting handle the internal bleed nipple configuration found on Shimano mineral oil brakes. The 11mm bleed blocks cover Hayes DOT systems. Each part is sealed for either DOT fluid or mineral oil and should only be used with the system it was designed for. Mixing fluid types or using a DOT-sealed tool on a mineral oil system is a contamination risk that can lead to seal and brake failure, so keeping your tools organized by fluid type is not optional.
