One of those ideas that sound great in theory, not so good in actual practice. Even in gravity bleeding there's enough force behind the fluid to push the air out even though 'air rises'. Either a vacuum pump at the wheels or a pressure bleeder at the M/cyl is best. You're pushing all the old fluid and debris in the right direction. Out of the system. One of the problems with this method is the bleeder drain hole is kind of small so you need to push past that and all the way up to the top, and the bleeder screw doesn't seal around the threads. Not a problem if you're pushing fluid out, as it was intended. If you're going the other way you could introduce air by siphon and be chasing bubbles.

The only thing I learned is that you're trying to sell this tool

ABS in the title but you never mentioned how it works with the ABS system.. do you need a scan tool to open the ABS valves or does this pump push past it?

You don't need a fancy system, a mighty vac or cheap Harbor freight one is fine. The idea is by using positive pressure from the caliper you force the ABS valve open. The fittings have to be air tight or you will push air into the abs module. The other issue is if you got really dirty old fluid you could damage the seals by forcing it through the abs module and master cylinder, but it does work. Pressure bleeding from the master cylinder is the way to go and that's what most dealers use. Usually on motor cycles revverse bleeding is the only way to go because those little master cylinders don't move much fluid.

i made a vacuum bleeder that uses compressed air through a vacuum generator to create vacuum in a small tank( i used a empty 20lb propane/lp tank ) i remove the top valve once tank is emptied of pressure, get some plumbing fittings to install vacuum generator where valve once was, i then drilled a hole in top of tank to use a 1/8 pipe thread tap, then get a 1/8 x 1/4 inch brass barb fitting, i used about 6 feet of blue 1/4 ID fuel line and then you can attach the fitting to fit over your bleeder screw. hook up air hose to the vacuum generator, crack open bleeder about 1/2 turn, and then add fresh brake fluid to master cylinder while vacuum is drawing the fluid out through the bleeder. no more having a 2nd person to bleed brakes by pumping the brakes in vehicle. all the materials for making this vacuum tank costs about 80 bucks you can get a vacuum generator off ebay for 10-15 bucks. i also use it for changing oil in lawn mowers by using a 1/4 or 3/16ths steel tubing that goes into dipstick tube and sucks oil out of crankcase. use it for bleeding brakes on motorcycles too

Pushing burned fluid from the heat of the brakes back to the master cylinder and abs pump is a bad idea

I've used one of these ..it made a huge mess. and my brakes were worse after using it.

Great selling point mentioned at 4:00 - "As you know air rises...so this works right in line with physics."

Wow it has a magnet I must buy this 😂

4:00 "Air rises" Correct. And I can clearly see that there is a downhill from the caliper through the hose towards the reservoir. Typically there are both down- and up-hills in both directions. And if you've got dust in the bleeder screw you push that into the system.

I just vacuum bleed, still one person and no crap getting push back into the system

It will not bleed the ABS

I hate to um, burst your bubble, but your system is the worst thing you can do to that particular vehicle. I have 2011 GMC Terrain, GMC's equivalent to the Chevy Equinox. Changed the brake pads all round, pretty basic job I've done dozens of times on other vehicles. Pull one slide bold out of caliper, flip it over off of the rotor, take off outer pad, place large C-clamp against inner pad and back of caliper, press piston back into caliper, replace both pads, reinstall caliper. Done. Wrong. Spongy brake pedal, will go completely to the floor with enough push. Apparently, lots of late model GM vehicles have this problem. Vacuum bleed the brakes, BTW- on this vehicle it's RR, RF, LF, LR. No improvement. Took it to dealer. They said they used pressure bleeder on master cyl and vacuum bleeder on each caliper simultaneously and exercised the ABS pump at the same time. $212 later, I have about 2" of pedal that went right back to the spongy no hard pedal condition before I got it home. Watched several KZfaq videos on this subject. purchased an Autel MasterCheck Pro that has capability to exercise the ABS pump. Took 5 cycles of VACUUM bleeding and running ABS pump to get Brake pedal all the way back. This is not unusual from what I've now discovered. Dealer doesn't pay mechanic to bleed several times so.....that was never going to happen. Lesson learned; on these vehicles you must crack the bleeder when pushing back the caliper piston or the ABS pump losses it's "mind". I used a vacuum pump to bleed with because pushing fluid back toward the master cylinder is what made ABS pump go stupid and kill my brake pedal travel to begin with. Your device may work quite fine on many cars but you cannot literally push air. Air will flow up hill on its own until it hits a high point loop in a line to go around something then its likely the air will stay trapped in the top of the loop. You should NEVER push fluid from the wheel to the master cyl on any late model GM product. if you got lucky that's good for you but NOBODY should use your device on late model GM's and likely many other ABS vehicles. The unquestionable best way to bleed is from the wheel with a vacuum bleeder. Vacuum is best because a vacuum will tend to pull air better than fluid. The negative air pressure in the line will pull the air bubbles right through much of the brake fluid in the line. I have changed disc brake pads 3-4 dozen times in my life and never had a problem pushing back caliper piston but this is what caused a cascade of problems on my Terrain. Your device, by pushing fluid, exacerbates the problem. Not trying to dis your product or troll you. Just trying to keep others from going through what I did. Sorry. Who knew?

this method doesn't get rid of the old fluid in the brake lines, thats why i like the opposite way

What he didn't show you is how the fluid squirted out around the bleeder and since he can't see the reservoir it poured out over the top..and how much money he lost from missing work while getting therapy for carpal tunnel.

With this system, how do you know when all the air is out of the master cylinder?

what the fuck has this got todo with ABS brakes as opposed to non ABS?

reverse brake bleed? That sounds like a really bad idea.

Hey buddy had a question I’m running into problems I have a 1997 F150 XLT 4.6 L 4 x 4 and I bled the brakes system put new oil & seals on the brake calipers and drum brake pistons put a new brake master cylinder and brake booster and tested the ABS module by sticking a stick in the little hole and pressing on the brake and it does not move the stick supposedly that sign is good but my brakes are still spongy meaning it sinks in half way And driving at 25 miles an hour residence I stepped hard on the brakes and it takes about 1.5 or 2 seconds to come to a stop but I want my brakes to bite on the rotors and it’s not doing that is this normal or do I need to plug a scanner so it could auto bleed mode to complete the service so it could break hard? I heard this from a GMC Tech veteran who said that I might need to hook up scanner just like the GMC trucks. I hope u can help with good info. I want my truck To leave tread marks on the ground when I slam the brakes hard I want my brace to bite the rotors just like my Mazda 2002 but I don’t know where ABS is the Design to not do this.

Nope, just gonna push dirt up into your system. Do it from the top down.

All I want to know is should I remove the fluid from the caliper and the lines before pushing clean fluid up to not taint the clean fluid?

what exactly do you mean by "burp it at the end"

Would it not be wiser to not introduce air into the master cylinder?

Will it work on a 2057 Travinoc Sini GS?

Does this remove air from the ABS module?

Question My rear break calipers won’t compress even though they are brand new can it be air in the System.

Lovely, push the grit and crap up to the innards of abs unit and master cylinder🤦‍♂️

When You Open the Bleeder Screw, and Hook Up the Pump to Push Fluid Through, Won`t It Leak at the Bleeder Screw??

I need the branick brake bleeder adapters.

I can see his hand shaking from the pressure!

Do I have to bleed ABS after changing fluid master cylinder? I bled the four wheels but still sometimes brake padal goes soft when pressing!

I have a 03 cadillac cts and I a machanic that stripped my bleeding bolts what to do " please help me please" I'm so bummed right now"

Clear line into container with fluid is so much butter than these gimmicks.

Bought, very difficult to hand press.

This skips a very essential step of bleeding the ABS valve and then rebleeding the system. This will get you home but it's not going to make your brake pedal feel very good.

Wouldn't the line pass through the abs module anyway? Thus negating this method.

crap .. you need a auto bleeder for the abs controler.. this WILL NOT BLEED THE ABS CONTROLER ON ANY ABS BRAKE SYSTEM!!!!! BAD IDEA 'NOT' 'CERTIFIED' WAY

Abs title did mention nothing just cashing saleing here

Reverse bleeding is horrible because you’re basically pushing all that debris back into the system

5 minute commercial for 10 seconds of info, waste of time.

whats wrong with holding the pedal down and holding it against the seat with the jack handle, its free and works every time.

Ok.....show us how the pedal feel....got this from snap on and returned it the next week

this bleeds the brakes AND the hydraulic control unit?

He needs to talk about the abs also. He does not say it is sucking air through the bleeder threads. What no price!!??.

The only thing I discovered was that you have a tool that might work.

Lets be honest here ! Its a shit tool that won"t do the job !!! But it"s got a magnet !! Wow !!!

How to bleed Ford RABS Brakes kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hsidhLaJtJ-8eHU.html using a battery charger to operate the ABS system for RABS.

No way. Dirtiest fluid is always around caliper and I want that out instead of pushing it up. If you flush everything out first you could do this but what’s the point then.

Whats bad about this system is it will push the dirty dust laden fluid that is at the caliper back up the the master cylinder. Better to use a pressure bleeder at the master cylinder such as the MOTIVE pressure bleeder.

Follow this, and destroy your ABS module. There's a REASON why a scantool is required for ABS.

I always bleed my brakes by myself

Terrible idea. The "reverse" of what you want to do.

This is why we need to know the dislike ratio

This is not how you bleed ABS brakes you need to have a special expensive scan tool and the key on and using the scan tools while you’re doing that

Too many things that could wrong with this.

Thanks for the clickbait video. No mention of bleeding the ABS unit.

Sorry, I’m not convinced that you’ll be able to push the air through through the ABS Module. If you really want to market this tool for this company, you should provide proof that you can in fact clear all of the air from the ABS Module. Otherwise, you are misrepresenting the product and giving false hope to those of us that have tried everything we could possibly think of within reason to get the air out of the module. So please, give us some proof, or don’t misrepresent the tool by making false claims of it’s capabilities.

He loosened off the bleed nipple before attaching the tube. The "air rises" is a poor selling point. If air could rise in the brake system then you wouldn't need to bleed the brakes at all.

What a disappointment. This clown didn't teach us anything. Just another youtube sales pitch.

Should be titled..."How to buy a tool you don't even need"...Sheesh, grab a six pack and call a buddy over to pressurize top down instead. Have we become this anti social???

No its no good for many many reasons to many to list, get your mate to help you bleed it properly, Im a mechanic of 51 year's and seen just about everything.

there is no such thing as a one man brake bleeding,

What fo you mesn "burp"

What a bunch of crap you are trying to sell. You never did it on an ABS vehicle like your title stated.

this video is barely audible. it sucks
