Bleeding the brakes on a 2013 Honda Civic. Honda recommends flushing the brake fluid every 3 years. Bleeding brakes usually takes 2 people, one to loosen and tighten the bleeder screw and one person to work the brake pedal. A one-person bleeder bottle with a one-way check valve makes the job much easier. See the links below for the parts and tools I used:

Thanks for making this short, sweat, and to the point instead of making a whole 30+ min video about this.

Be very careful not to spill the brake fluid on any painted surface. Brake fluid will dissolve paint. The good news is that you can rinse any spills off with water.

Yep, brake fluid is nasty stuff! :)

I was told that I needed my front brake pads replaced when I went in for my free oil change. They also said that I needed a “premium brake flush”. I didn’t like the price, so I’m doing rotors and pads ( done before) and will flush the system. I’m not looking forward to the brake flush. The underside of cars is never very pretty in the upper midwest and don’t look forward to anything severely corroded. It looks easy enough. Nice video.

Yeah, I don't blame you, the road salt can make things much more difficult. Just be sure to soak the bleeder valves with penetrating oil and give it plenty of time to seep in. Hopefully they won't put up a fight and you'll be done before you know it! :)

Excellent video. I'll definitely do this instead of paying out the a** for a service station to do it. About how much brake fluid did you go through to complete the job?

Thanks, let me know how it goes!

@ozzygamer6038 Ай бұрын

i think i need to go to mechanic and flush all the fluid and fill it with new oil.. my breaks doesnt respond properly. after pressing 3-4 times the car stops.

@Mikeattempts Ай бұрын

Yeah, if you don't feel comfortable flushing the brakes on your own, that sounds like something you should definitely have a mechanic fix ASAP.

My traction my tire pressure and fcw/Ldw and steering wheel lights are all on what does that mean??

It could be a component in the ABS system but I'm no pro. The first step would be to take it to AutoZone where they'll read your error codes for free.

@0:55 why do you choose to bleed the rear right brake first while the image clearly says bleed the front left brake first?

@bigblue3568 Күн бұрын

??? Video clearly shows he did the front drivers side first...

@Mikeattempts Күн бұрын

The recommendation is usually to start with the wheel furthest from the brake fluid reservoir and end with the closest. However, the only guidance I could find from Honda was the image shown in the video. I started with the front driver side, but it might be hard to tell because of how close the camera is placed.

@@bigblue3568 Hahaha, thanks, I thought maybe I edited the video together in the wrong order. :)

So. You need 4 bottles of fluid? One for each caliper?

@Mikeattempts 4 ай бұрын

I only used two 12-ounce bottles to bleed all four.

@CarlosJimenez-fj4ku Ай бұрын

Is it always necessary to bleed the old fluid? Can I just let it et used up with time?

@hyp3dw4ter6 Ай бұрын

Yeah you are going to have to get the old fluid bled out. It’s because water (from humidity) gets inside the brake fluid. This makes the brake power weak. Also bc it can build up alot of sediment and clog the brake lines. There’s much more reasons too.

@Mikeattempts Ай бұрын

I'm no pro but I do know that brake fluid absorbs water from the air and also gets hot from the extreme pressure of braking. So, if not flushed at the recommended intervals, the old fluid it will slowly deteriorate the brake lines from the inside.
