Excellent video. No wasted time on the history of brakes. Glad you covered one and two person bleeding method.

I hear what you are saying. I guess I just put a whole lot of faith in my new bottle of brake fluid and pouring skills. Thank you for the pointer and thank you for taking time to comment!

I have been using the vacuum assisted suckers for a long time, PRO-TIP:: put some grease around the threads near the base of caliper to make a airtight seal.

First off, thank you for this video. I was real skeptical about changing it myself but I grew the courage to just go and do it. I didn’t have the rear suction issue. However, the nipple screws in the back were 11mm instead of the 10mm in the front. Overall it was a complete success!

I noticed air in the vacuum line that did not go away. I don't know if there was a leak in the connection with the valve but I would probably have run the vacuum line up. The hose fills with fluid and you're sure to avoid getting air back in the caliper.

@gregorymark6014 Жыл бұрын

OK, I have a question. I understand taking the screen out to remove the old fluid, but I would think that the screen is there to keep contaminates from being poured in, not for keeping stuff from coming out. Just me, but I'd pour the new brake fluid in through the the screen. Isn't that what it is there for?

Shouldn't you bleed the brake calipers beginning at the right-rear, to left-rear, to right-front, to left-front (starting farthest away from the brake fluid reservoir, working your way to the closest)?

apparently not on this honda according to the manual

@StrongDreamsWaitHere Ай бұрын

On this year CR-V, the ABS pump is on the passenger side, so the longest brake line is driver’s rear.

My 2018 CRV is at 32,000, looked into Honda service for brakes and CVT trans fluid change. Egad $270 for CVT flush! After watching videos it looks like brake fluid change is a lot more work than the CVT fluid change. Decided to go with an independent Honda service for half the price, family owned shop with great Yelp reviews.

boss thank u for sharing your video. how many DOT 3 bottles do i need yo do the process. thanks. appreciated

@iamChiragRana 7 ай бұрын

I drove 47k miles and never got the brake fluid indicator 🤔 also I don't want to go to dealership and I'm not that strong to do mechanical service but would it be good enough to just use the pump, remove the old oil and replace it with new dot3 and call it a day instead of going thru extra steps of messing with caliper from each wheel. By doing the bare minimum, my logical guess is that it will eventually clean up from the wheels right? Or do I need to do full flush? Because when ur son pressed the brake the fluid did release. So in the long run my bare minimum will become effective right?

@rakesh0085 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for this great video. Do you also have to reset the indicator in dash or it goes off on its own after fluid is changed?

@projectfixit 2 жыл бұрын

Yes. You will need to reset the maintenance minder in the vehicle.

Why is that the 2 man method is your preference? Can you state te difference.

@projectfixit Жыл бұрын

It's just a preference of mine as to me it seems to push the fluid through the lines faster. This is just my opinion. Thanks for the input! Take care.

In the end, I just chose this way. Thank you for bringing this topic up as I am sure it could stir some interesting conversation. Thank you for watching!

I just did mine thank you this was a very helpful video. I took off about 4oz each side for the front and about 6 oz for each side in the rear. One question I started RF,LF, RR, RL order. Is this make a signicative difference?

@projectfixit 3 жыл бұрын

@@Sanmiguelito2011 Awesome! Thank you for watching. Maybe there is a Honda Certified tech out there who can answer the question on order of which wheel to do first and consequences, if any, when switching the order. I suspect there isn't any real negative affects in switching the order. Maybe if one is trying to bleed air out of the system there would be a required order. In that case, the person may have bigger issues on hand.

Is it true you have to change the brakes in order to replace fluid because that's what Honda dealer told me but my brakes are still good just low on fluid

@mynew5524 2 жыл бұрын

No. If your pads are good just add brake fluid.

@projectfixit 2 жыл бұрын

Hmmm. I wouldn't believe so. Maybe they were just trying to sell you some brake pads.

@Gunman1628 2 жыл бұрын

when your brakes were new the fluid should be at the max. as the brakes wear, the brake fluid will go down as the pistons expand father out due to pad wear. . this is normal since it is a closed system. so unless you have a leak in your system, low fluid does indicate pad wear.

@ialien2077 10 ай бұрын

How did you dispose of the old fluid?

@projectfixit 10 ай бұрын

Check your state regulations. It's possible you can mix it with your used motor oil and then dispose of the oil properly. I take my used oil to the auto parts store for recycling. Wal-Mart takes used oil, too. Otherwise, keep in a sealed container and ask the auto parts store where you may dispose.

you can buy a brake fluid test kit that samples the amount of water in the fluid. too high and get the brakes hot enough and the fluid will boil leaving you with no brakes potentially.
