One piece of advice, when removing the pipe from the callipers put your finger over one end to form a seal and then remove the pipe. This will then ensure that no oil leaks out (like it did on the rear brake). Once free of the calliper move the pipe into your collection container and remove your finger, the oil will then flow into the container - zero mess...

Clear precise presentation. & no clickbait. Great too see that no special tools were used unlike a number of other videos. Thanks.

Great video; thorough, easy to follow, comprehensive. Saved me from ordering the kit on Amazon.

Great work. excellent video. After reading 10 others , which didn't help .... you were so helpful easy to understand with old Shimano type brakes. thank you so much.

I did mine yesterday with a syringe from the caliper up to the reservoir and that worked perfect and no spills

Clear and straight to the point. Would love to see a video on adjusting shifters and alignment

Thank you sir. I'm about to do this on my old felt q720 and didn't know where to begin because all the how tos only show the new ones with the funnel cup. Looks so easy I think I can do it .

Followed your instructions, and it was remarkably straightforward! Nothing to be nervous about at all. The only issue is trying not to make a mess 🤣

right now , found your video for my Shimano Alivio BR-M485! thanks for good video

Reminds me of the mid 90's bleeding the first discbrakes. This was always a mess to fill up the reservoir befor closing it. All the the oil on the ground. 🙈

TIP : If your brake still feel spongy/ then look into brake presses on rides there is small 2mm alan screw thingy in middle and you can adjust level of press :)

Excellent vid. I have struggled to find one that covered the brakes on my 1st Gen Specialized Carve 29er. This walkthrough was epic. Though I didn’t remove my wheels and pads - so have to order new pads as you were right. I got oil on them and they dont grip anymore!

Very clear. Bravo!

I have brakes that requires the funnel, my question is if i don't have a funnel , can i still just use the baggy method, thank you for any information and for the informative videos.

WAS REALLY HELPFUL!

Great video. Mine has not that type of bleeding niple on the calipers. I cannot stabilize the hose because the bleeding niple is in a cylinder shaped groove. Any advise please?

Hi. I can't get the bleed screw off my shimano shifter. So if I open the caliper up at the bottom and try and press out the bubbles downwards like in the video, will this still work if I don't take the bleed screw off

What about bleeding yellow first and then replacing it with red does that matter or nah?!

Awsome thankyou :)

Thanks for doing the video. I could not find many with the old style shimano Reservoir. I did both mine today but the rear is still too spongy despite all new fluid and do e with proper caliper blocks in. I think I will try using the syringe I have and do it the other way tomorrow to see if it gets some extra air out. Any other relevant suggestions welcome. Cheers.

I followed the steps and the fluid only comes out a quarter of the tube but doesn't flow out??

Thx!

i dont see why you cant do this with the brake levers that have the additional fill screw. as it looks like you can still remove the top. the funnel probably just makes it easier. (if you have one)

how you refill a total empty system

Wow amazing 👌🏼

never understood how the syringe attaches to he caliper in such a way.. oh well.

👌👌👌

👌

Why does everyone say if any oil gets on the pads they are destroyed? its far from realistic..

So, you've got a bike stand but need a homemade bleeding tools?.. ))
