vacuum the tank out first, fill to the top with new fluid so you aren't drawing that old fluid into the system and only draw enough out to keep the reservoir from letting air in.

@deasttn 11 ай бұрын

Bingo. Suck the old fluid out of the reservoir first, then fill the reservoir up with new fluid. Then bleed the calipers.

@williamrosenow6176 4 ай бұрын

Suck the fluid out of the reservoir first then put new fluid in the syringe and push the new fluid to the top. Air likes to rise so help it out. ATV, cycles and snowmobiles like it if you push the fluid up because of the small stroke on the master cylinder doesn't move much fluid. . Cars don't matter but I like to help the air go the right direction.

For God’s Sake ! Anytime that you are messing around with brake fluid be sure to wear your safety glasses! Many years ago I had one drop splash into my eye; it felt like a charcoal briquette was on my eye ! I had the unbelievable luck that there was a running hose in a tree well right next to where I was working in the driveway. I flushed that eye with for at least 15 minutes. That was over 45 years ago and the thought of it still makes me pucker.

For those of us who have bled brakes until we avoid doing it until unavoidable; this is going to make life easier. It is not dangerous unless the reservoir is allowed to empty without topping it up. The biggest bug bear of brakes (hydraulic) is the reservoir is too damn small for easy maintenance. Thus we check it and recheck it and recheck it....... When you are doing it on your own its tough. Not dangerous.

Long time ago, this was how I did such jobs, before I developed my knowledge, invested in decent tools and became a mechanic. That was years ago; now I just do my own work thankful that I save money. The lad got the job done, but needs to read up more! Can’t see an axle stand for starters? Otherwise, on my own car, I would have first cleaned and pre-lubed around the bleed nipples several days before doing the job. As others stated, I would suck out old fluid first especially if using pressure bleeding. I would also not have used a large adjustable spanner, or ratchet and socket to try and undo the bleed nipples; instead a short, 6-sided 10mm ring spanner gives good feel and is preferred. All that said, fair play, the lad is starting out; but lowered suspension, painted calipers and wheel spacers tells me he has a long road ahead within which to learn. A while back invested in a stand alone Sealey brake bleeding kit and drain bottle - great for home use where you can’t get close to an air line. Pressurising the lines is often the only way to get a good result - especially on clutch hydraulics.

Start with the furthermost tyre from reservoir and work your way back. 3. Push back pistons on calipers to ensure all fluid is pushed back. Make sure reservoir doesnt overflow. 4. Suck out old fluid out of reservoir and fill with new fluid. Pull fluid through until new fluid hits the tube.

Remove old fluid from the brake reservoir and fill with new fluid first. Then while doing brake bleeding, gravity bleeding technique is the best since it is fast enough and there is no risk of bubbles or air entry and you have time to fill the brake reservoir during gravity bleeding.

@chrissmith2114 5 күн бұрын

I use a MityVac vacuum setup.. Which can draw a full 1 bar ( -15 PSI ) vacuum... I also temporarily clamp brake hose and take out the nipple and wind some PTFE tape on the thread, this stops air being sucked around the nipple thread and also stops the thread from seizing in the caliper... I also just snug up the nipple with a short ring spanner, especially in aluminium calipers which can strip easily, especially with PTFE tape on thread reducing the friction.... The beauty of the small MityVac catch bottle is that if you fill the master cylinder reservoir to very top of the fill opening before starting a new wheel, the MityVac bottle will fill up before the master cylinder reservoir gets too low and this prevents sucking air into system ( which is a world of pain with ABS ) to make sure if put some tape around mityvac bottle and stop sucking about 20mm before top of bottle and soon as fluid reaches the tape. As someone else said - vacuum out the master cylinder reservoir and fill with fresh fluid right to the very top before starting to bleed the system and you will be sucking fresh fluid into the system, not the old stale fluid in the reservoir. Another caution is that brake fluid will take the paint off your car, wash off any spills ASAP with a water and dish soap mixture.

@them0leisback 4 ай бұрын

Always use a 6-point socket rather than a 12-point wrench on your bleeders, especially if they are rusted. You dont want to round these off. I also grease the threads before installing new ones, so there's no chance for water to get in there.

@smoke05s 4 ай бұрын

I saw another video where they used Teflon tape on the threads. It gets rid of those bubbles (coming around the threads) when you use vacuum to extract the fluid. Just be super careful to not stretch it over the end or it could clog the bleeder screw.

@christianluggert9052 5 ай бұрын

I have used this method before but eventually purchased a "Power Bleeder" which pressurizes the reservoir and pushes the fresh fluid through the system. This way you avoid the issue with sucking air in via the treads of the open bleeder valve and overall it is less work. But it is an investment of around $100. There might be knock-offs for less but the original power bleeder is a very well made tool.

@brunocorrea6010 5 ай бұрын

One downside is that the caps that come with it may not fit every vehicle. Also, some resevoirs are hidden and needs some disassemble of plastic covers around it, some even doesn't have space for the cap. Other thing is if that the cap doesn't seal properly it will make a mess if you didn't see first time. The vacuum bleeders are less messy and a one-size-fits-all tool. The syringe method in the video does pretty much the same job, only take longer. A little piece of playdough should be enough to seal around the bleeder

@blow0me 5 ай бұрын

You can bleed in reverse. Fill the syringe with new fluid, first draw any air out of the system with a little pull, and ensuring you hold the syringe correctly, upright, not like the guy in the video is doing. And push the new fluid from syringe back up into the reservoir. Obviously suck the reservoir dry first. Syringe is a great tool as you can easily pull or push fluid. Pulling you may see false bubbles, but if you push to refill, that cannot happen. Plus you're always guaranteed the freshest fluid is in the caliper where most heat and issues will be.

There’s basically two circuits for the brakes. The front and the rear. Starting with the rear makes more sense due to the distance between the rear axle and the master cylinder. Each circuit is independent of the other after it leaves the master cylinder. Cars with 4 channel abs won’t tolerate air in the system, so have a helper whose only job is to make sure that the reservoir stays filled with new fluid throughout the brake flush operation.

5 ай бұрын

Most cars have a diagonal split braking system where one of the circuits acts on the left front and right rear brake, and the other on right front and left rear.

Great comments so far, but this is just me ,dollar store hose to bleeders and use a 2 litter empty bottle of Coke or any soda bottle,or any container (this is for our friends that have never done a bleed job) Turn the car on and open bleeders just a little pressure will build up into the system and start filling your reservoir (you can press on the brake pedal just a little to speed the process, dont leave the car unattended, let the car do the work for you. Keep filling until you see clear fluid coming out of the hoses ,of course, it helps to open the furthest bleed screw to the closest. No nos here: crescent Wrench ( there is a possibility that you may round up the nut ,making your work harder,and actually having to go to a real mechanic 😂) Use the right tools!

You can buy fittings that are made for one-person bleeding that will automatically stop air from getting into the system. Draw as much fluid out of the master cylinder chambers as possible and refill with new fluid. Start with the wheel farthest from the master cylinder, attach a hose, loosen it with a box end wrench, get in pump the brakes a couple of times and tighten. Repeat moving to the next brake farthest from the master cylinder topping off each time. Top off a final time. Dispose of the old brake fluid at a recycling center. If none available, pour into a container with cat litter and keeping away from animals and humans. It will evaporate.

Anyone know the size of the plastic hole?

@stfholdmm 5 ай бұрын

Inner diameter is 5 mm or 3/16". You could also use up to one size smaller or bigger (4, 4.5, 5.5 or 6 mm), but 5 mm fits perfectly.

Anyone new to working on or learning about mechanical work, PLEASE use this as a "What NOT to do". If you EVER see someone using the emergency jack for MECHANICAL WORK, that is your red flag the person is 100% clueless & gives 0% of a sh*t. The adjustable wrench on the bleed screw was actually funny, yet painful. "Forgetting" to top off the reservoir let alone not knowing that old fluid is to be sucked out 1st & refilled with new so that old fluid is not flushed throughout the system is 100% amateur hour. This is a BRAKING SYSTEM. There is NO margin for error, especially not with these basic mechanics 101 steps blatantly overlooked.

I did a different approach. I used a turkey bater and took out some fluid the put new in. Drive then repeat. After 3 or 4 times you will see the fluid clear out.

@@maxpain7197majority of the fluid resides in the master reservoir. During the period of driving around, the new fluid is being distributed into the lines & calipers rather quickly. After repeating this as OP stated, the fluid in the master reservoir remains clear. Maybe not 100% perfect, but plenty good on a non neglected system. Many dealerships will only suck out old & refill with new without even touching anything else.
