The Shimano Bleeding Spacer is an essential workshop aid for anyone maintaining Shimano hydraulic disc brakes. Designed to sit between the brake pads or pistons during bleeding, it keeps the caliper correctly spaced and aligned while you work. This helps prevent the pistons from overextending, reduces the risk of fluid contamination on the pads, and ensures that your brake lever feel remains consistent after the bleed. Compact and easy to handle, it is a simple but important tool for both home mechanics and professional workshops.
Using a dedicated bleeding spacer instead of improvised objects provides a more accurate pad gap and a cleaner, more controlled bleed process. It supports proper fluid flow through the system and helps you achieve a firm, reliable lever feel on the trail or road. Whether you are refreshing old brake fluid, removing air bubbles after hose replacement, or performing routine maintenance, the Shimano Bleeding Spacer adds precision and confidence to every bleed job, helping you get the best performance from your Shimano hydraulic brakes.
