I have seen many videos on this process and NEVER has it been explained this way. Thank you very much and a huge thumbs up!!

That is the best explanation i've seen so far, makes it seem super simple! Also the extra info with the ABS module was something important I wasn't aware of. Thanks a lot!

Didn't know about the ABS module being the focal/reference point. Learned something new today. Thanks.

very helpful... Ive known about the 2-man method for a long time, and I started buying 1-man method tools trying different ones to see what i liked (including reverse bleeding). But even my 1991 SE Miata has ABS...I didn't know to use the ABS module as the starting point to determine which corner to start from...I would have gone with the 'DR, PR, PF, DF' typical US vehicle set up. But now I know to actually swap that, and start with the passenger rear first. Thanks!

THANK YOU SIR! incredible insightful video!! I made my bottle out of a pedelyte bottle and took a new lawnmower gas line out my shed, and made me a bleed bottle... worked perfectly! dog on lifesaver!! bless you, sir!! Update. had to do the process twice in the order the video instructed, 15-20 pumps each wheel. Salute sir 🫡

Thanks for keeping this great video out here. Most informative I have seen so far. Why? Because you took the time to cover things and not assume the average Joe or Jane knew where to look. Respect your good job!

Recently I got in the shower to wake myself up prior to doing my brake job... Glad I did because that's where I came up with this idea!: You can add a vacuum pump inline using an Aussie shampoo dispenser pump! The pump mates perfectly after pulling off the top head and bottom feed tube 😃. Fits clear vinyl tubing with 1/4" ID and 3/8 OD ...without any extra hardware! (Tubing fits over the top and inside the bottom of the Aussie purple pump) Perfect for Ford F150/F250 btw. Great for pumping out the master too. Note: Use a pair of pliers to hold the top plunger from moving as you shove the tubing on in place of the Aussie pump's head. I also added some 3M 33+ electrical tape to secure the bottom connection but that's probably overkill/unnecessary.😁 Bonus tip: Use a short funnel in the master to overfill it as you pump fluid from the 4 corners.

the bottle should be above the caliper for air to rise, simple coat hanger and you can hang it from your coils

Buddy you did that expertly. I used to flip cars back in the day. You’ve earned new subscriber. Thanks

This is the most well-explained video about brake fluid change I have ever seen. The procedure is clear and instructive.

LOVE that you showed a side-by-side of you pressing on the brakes as the old dirty fluid oozes out. Thanks for that demonstration

i am doing this tomorrow... i made sure i have the right order ..lucky for me i found a video of my same truck with abs in exact location... well done..

Had zero knowledge and confidence to do this until now…excellence simplicity of teaching

Thanks so much for your very comprehensive video. You explained every step so well.

Thanks for clearing things up especially for a Honda. Good job 👍.

Didn't know about the abs module way of bleeding brakes. Good to know! Handy way to bleeding brakes solo too! Awesome videos man!

Great video!! Very educational. Keep up the great content! Persistence and patients you'll make it!!! Thank you for awesome video

Yes. Just did mines as preventative Maintenance. I notice if you open the bleeder valve too much it will leak air. I just turned mine very little. Thanks for this video reminder.

Perfect easy and interesting explanation. Loved it!

This is the best video I have seen on KZfaq so easy to understand and well-documented 👍

THANK YOU!!! That’s literally the one thing I was wondering and no one else would say This!

Super well explained video, thanks for it!

dude yout content is tight. I just bought myself a 2008 impreza and I'm very very happy to have discovered your channel 🔥

Thank you for the great advice on your video sir. It helped tremendously.

Thank-you so much, your instructions are so so clear

this came out right when i needed it thank you

Thank you. I have a friend with Parkinson's and other health issues. He doesn't have a lot of money so I was able to help him out by using your technique to change his brake fluid.

This is gold! Mad respects homie. The way you explain the process is very thorough and that’s what I look for in videos on how to work on Hondas. Other videos sometimes they leave out details that in many occasions is is what I look for. I’m definitely following your channel. You must be like a school teacher or something 😳😳

A rare, twist-top skinny/tall Gatorade bottle is awesome. It has a mouthpiece on the bottle and the very top part can be removed and then the existing hole can be trimmed by hand with a 3/8" drill bit for 3/8" tubing (air tight!). Dollar tree had/has these tall/sturdy Gatorade bottles for $1.25 each which is a deal by itself😃

YEAAAA!!!! LETS DO IT!!! NEW CONTENT! Anticipating your videos man! Lol specially the car flipping cuz I'm new to the game!

Never heard about looking for the ABS and changing the order. Thanks for the Info! Im going to be installing front 4 Piston Big Brakes and I just hope I dont mess it up

6:35 "Brake pump happy" I can't stop laughing! 🤣 A perfect video! Awesome!

Buddy, I love your videos, but I feel compelled to correct this common misconception about bleeding the brakes. It is a one-person job, but it’s even simpler than you described. The ONLY reason you need a plastic bottle and hose is to keep your floor clean. The modern master cylinder has residual pressure valves at each exit port. Their purpose is to keep a little pressure in the lines for instant braking. Without them, the driver would need to pump up the brakes for every stop. The RPVs keep air from being sucked back into the system when you open a bleeder. Also, you should NEVER push the brake pedal to the floor, especially on an older vehicle. The normal travel of a master cylinder piston is about 1 to 2 inches. The “untraveled” portion of the master cylinder can get some pitting from sediment in the brake fluid (it gets worse with age). Pushing the brake pedal to the floor rams that rubber piston seal through the pitted portion of the cylinder and usually tears it, and then you need to rebuild or replace the master cylinder. If you open the bleeder and pump the pedal the NORMAL TRAVEL of the brake pedal, the air will be pushed out and the RPVs will keep air from being sucked in. Please try it.

Great info...I never knew that. Thanks

great video superb detail thank you for sharing all your hard work A+++

Gréât vidéo sir! Always something to teach us DIYers everything! So just wanted clarify something about this video, I know it’s an old one. So the Honda manual I have says to bleed in this order FR,FL,RR and RL.. so a little confused after watching this video!! Not sure if it’s different with Generations with Hondas or does it not really matter?? Also the ABS Module is located same as the one on this video. I appreciate your response sir!

I was just gonna pay to have this done, not anymore. Thanks for this video, that's a super easy job that probably only takes about 30-45 minutes

Thanks for the video and great explanation! What year honda is used in the video? No link for hose size as promised...

Just a heads up. You still have to trace the brake lines. My 97 Camry is set up the same way with the master cylinder @ driver front, ABS @ passenger front, but the rear brake lines run along the driver side frame rail. Rear Passenger then cuts back under the trunk between the gas tank & the spare tire, making it the furthest.

Excellent video. I'd suck the old fluid from the reservoir n replace w new fluid before pumping the brakes

My gto abs module is on the right hand side too. I don’t think it’s an import thing I think it’s just random on the cars engine bay. Because even left hand drive monaros (what the 04-06 gto was derived from) have the same architecture and I think some American made vettes have master on driver side abs module on right

Great video sir, i have a 2017 tacoma the ABS module is on the passenger right side under 5he hood as it was on this car you show in this video, would i bleed the brakes exact same way LR-RR-LF-RF would this be correct?

Thank you very simple and straight to the point keep it up body

Wow I hope crisfix see this video I kinda trust him for the breaks and you of course love your videos and even crisfix y'all help me a lot to fix a used car to making it look nice for profit 💪👍☺ just saw his resent video to get to get ready for the fall and winter season

Awesome video! Definitely helped!

Google: Brake fluid is not corrosive to metals. However it being hydroscopic it will absorb water which if not kept up to specification and changed regularly can cause corrosion inside the braking system metal pipes.

Is this same concept for clutch bleeding? Very helpful and such detailed explanation. 👏🏻 Bravo

exceptional video . does that size pipe fit all vehicles? cheers

Thank you...that was great

Brilliant idea!!!

Great vid, thanks!

"Youslef". LOL. Love your videos.

Great video ! How many bottles of brake fluid you need for this?

It's my understanding that some vehicles have the ABS module mounted underneath the vehicle which complicates this process. I've also heard that the corvette has 2 bleeder valves per brake. But the vehicle I worked on today was a 2014 Xterra. Anyway, i was wondering about those air bubbles. I noticed on 2 of my brakes that there were air bubbles in the hose but they were moving away from the bleeder valve and towards the collection bottle. I take it that is normal? At any rate, the brakes seem to function OK on my test drive so I guess I got the job done right.

The clear hose is a good idea, so you can see the air bubbles, and the bottle is to minimize the mess,

Great job dude

do we need electricity (contact with car key) for pumping breakes???

does it matter if the car is running or not? 2007 Hyundai Tucson, have tried using a vac pump and can't get any vacuum, I know the pump is good.

What's the size of the bleeder valves on this specific vehicle for both front and rear? Will a pipe with 1/4 ID work for this job?

How do I bleed a broken heart :(

To keep the sequence, dont you need to start next to the master cylinder, go around and finish on the master cylinder tire?

I didn’t see you loosing the bleed nip before bleeding the breaks but yet I seen you tighten it back up so do we unscrew the break nip on the caliber

Nicely done 👍

THANK YOU LOVE IT.

What to do if you only get pressure on passenger rear 98 Honda Civic LX just rebuilt my drums and replace the proportional valve and1 Hardline

Big thanks!

so your state allows drivers to drive cars without front licence plates? looks neat i like it

I'm curious, what about the vacuum bleeding method? Would you recommend that?

what about this idea that i haven't tried but i would think would work.....get a speed bleeder and loosen the bleed on the caliper. Put the speed bleeder on one and of a plastic tube and the other end on the caliper bleeder. Any reason that wouldn't work as a one man bleed idea?

Do you bleed the master cylinder first before adding any new brake fluids starting to bleed the entire brake line ?

excuse me, my car is bmw 218i 2015 (automatic), if keep pressing on the brake pedal, it gets harder and harder to press before I release the bleeder valve 6:08.... when I start the car with the engine on, the brake pedal press turns normal. I would like to bleed the brakes by myself, but do I need to start my car? thank you and good video!! would the brake pedal press soft as normal if I released the valve without the engine on?

But Honda for this car has a different bleeding sequence fl,fr,rr,lr?

Almost word for word of the chrisfix video

Yheeaa boy next flip video coming soon cant wait 😎

Great video!...just one thing...dump out or blow out any plastic cuttings from the water bottle.

Do you bleed the master cylinder first before adding new break fluids ?

I might just attempt to do this myself. 😮

Thaks This Really Helped !

Awesome dude

i have honda accord CL7 and at first i bled the brakes old school, but than i got the manual from honda and it is very particular . 1.driver side 2. passenger 3. back passenger passenger 4. back driver passenger ( i could send you the picture)

What about the parking break do I have to release the parking break while I’m pumping the break,,

My ABS Module and master cylinder are both located in the same position where my driver side is (right hand side)

What size hose is that?

Great video! The one thing you didn't mention is , don't you want clean the plastic drill shavings out of the bottle before starting the procedure?

What a great video

My c5 has ABS, I’m not sure which ones don’t

Sorry can i ask something? When we bleed the brake fluid, is it necessary to turn on the engine so the brake booster is activated? or it is okay to do it with the engine off? Thanks

Underrated smh

Does the car needs to be on or in accessory mode?

Hi love Ur vids

Thank you.

Very nice video my friend. Waiting for more flip videos. Greetings from İstanbul / Turkey 👋

my car battery went dead while bleeding my brakes. After i finished the brake flush, i jumped the engine but then immediately the check engine light turned on. I went to autozone and code ABS malfunction and traction off showed up on dash. Not knowing what to do, i removed from the battery then reconnect, check engine light turned off for now but for how long? car is fairly new

Can this be done on 08 c300?

Was the car running for break power?

Hey. I really want to make this self but dont know if I have abs module. I drive mitsubishi asx 1.6 petrol from 2017 in EU. Someone can help ? Thanks

Good stuff

I had a first today. I replaced a rear cylinder on my truck and had someone pump the brakes while I bled them. 3 pumps and hold, I loosened the bleeder valve, brakes did not go to the bottom nor did any fluid come out. Finally on third try, a "little" fluid came out. Brakes did not go to bottom. Tried 5 or 6 times, a little more fluid came out but brakes never went to the bottom. Drove it and brakes feel a little spongy. I have never heard of the brakes not going the bottom when the valve is opened. Thanks for some ideas,

I know this is an old video but could you also reverse bleed brakes with a plastic syringe full of fluid shooting it up the bleeder valve.

How do you watch the line and bottle if you are in the car pumping the brake pedal?
