It is crucial to understand that the BK-UK includes specific components tailored for various brake systems. The parts are meticulously designed to work seamlessly with different types of hydraulic fluids, including mineral oil and DOT fluid. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what’s included in the BK-UK Brake Tool kit:
Part Number | Description |
Part #2600A (x2) | M4 x 0.7 adaptor for use with SRAM® DB8, Trick Stuff®, and Campagnolo® mineral oil brake systems |

All parts included in the BK-UK are also available individually, allowing users to replace only what is necessary. However, it is essential to note that the seals on each part are specifically designed for either DOT fluid or mineral oil. Mixing these two types of fluid within the brake system or the service tools can lead to serious issues, including seal failure that may result in brake failure. Therefore, it is imperative to use these parts only with the intended fluid type.
For those who own the Park Tool BKD-1 Hydraulic Brake Bleed Kit (designed for DOT systems) or the BKM-1 Hydraulic Brake Bleed Kit (for mineral oil systems), the BK-UK offers an excellent solution to maintain and replace worn or damaged components. This ensures your brake systems function correctly and safely, keeping you on the road without concern.
In conclusion, the BK-UK Brake Tool is an indispensable accessory for maintaining hydraulic brake systems effectively. With its compatibility and high-quality components, it sets a standard in the market for quality and reliability.
