The reason that you got so little brake fluid out of the master cylinder reservoir is you did not take the screen filter out that rests just inside the opening under the cap.

Thanks for a couple of good videos. I just bought a used 2021 CRV and need to do this and the rear diff. I saw your other video on that. Looks like both of these arent too difficult.

Thank you so much, thumbs up. Of course, just seeing the entire car on jack stands and with all 4 wheels removed discouraged me from doing this on my own. Of course, I could start doing this all on my own, but it is too much time and effort. I found someone to do it for $55, so it seems reasonable and will go with that plan.

You don’t have to put it on 4 Jack stands at once. You could do the front then the back. Or one at a time.

So, is the engine turned on when you push the brake to the floor? Or is the key turned on? Wouldn't it have to be to get the brake pedal to go down? Please let me know. Thank y'all.

No, you do not need to turn the engine on.

Thanks for the videos Paul. Do you pump until you can see the new fluid come through the line. It seems like this would take more brake fluid.

Yes, I did see fresh fluid and I agree with you that I was expecting to use more.

Paul can advise where you got the bleeding sequence? As a Ford Technician (back in the day '78) it was ALWAYS: R/R. L/R, R/F and finally L/F I would like to know if this is a Honda thing? I have (2) 2021 CRV Tourings (Not Hybrid)
@PaulNaylor3 Жыл бұрын
Yes, it is a Honda sequence. I don’t remember if I found it in the manual or from watching other Honda mechanics explain it.
@garyallman30397 ай бұрын
It is also the VW sequence (starting with the front left wheel). I don't think that it really matters, if you have not introduced any air into the brake lines.

Any idea if the 2012 Honda crv you start bleeding the furthest away from reservoir or it’s like this one?
@PaulNaylor3 Жыл бұрын
I found another video for your fourth generation Honda CRV that also recommends the same method that I used. Begin with the driver side, front, then the passenger front, then the passenger rear, then the driver side rear.

Hi Paul, is it the same process for CRV Hybrid?
@PaulNaylor3 Жыл бұрын
I wouldn’t think it would be different but it would be nice if someone else would chime in and let us know that possibly owns a hybrid.

How many miles do you need to reach in order to do this?
@PaulNaylor3 Жыл бұрын
For brake fluid I believe it has more to do with time rather than miles. From what I have read, I would recommend every five years. Unless, of course, you have problems. Also, if you are changing brake pads it would make sense to go ahead and do that at the same time.
@polyacanthus Жыл бұрын
The maintenance minder will tell you. I believe it should be every 3 years. Mine is asking for brake fluid change at 2.5 years, 31k miles.

So you just filled brake fluid reservoir up without making sure level doesn't go above MAX line?
@PaulNaylor311 ай бұрын
I fill it up at the beginning because I know that I will be draining fluid out and I don’t want it to get so low that it allows air to enter the line. The main point about the Max line is that when you are done with the job you have it at the max line. If it’s above the max line and you are done you can use a syringe to pull some out and have the right amount of fluid in your reservoir.

How will the break fluid absorb moisture when it's in a closed system? Seems like a money grab by the dealerships and if done incorrectly can cause more issues. If there are issues with the fluid it will manifest and it will get changed regardless

It’s not the dealership recommending this process, it’s the Manufacturer, Honda.

Hello, how much fluid required for flushing ..
@PaulNaylor311 ай бұрын
I’m really not sure about that because it depends on how much fluid you get when you bleed each brake. I would recommend having two bottles of brake fluid on hand.

I have a 2019 CR-V and I usually will will ration 3 (three) 12 oz containers of brake fluid for doing a thorough fluid from my vehicle. Using more brake fluid for the longer rear brake lines. And with that said, I usually will have approx. 4 ounces left over as for some spare fluid if just in case I needed a little bit more.
