It takes roughly 4 hours, 30 beers, 2 auto parts store runs, and 1,763 cuss words to successfully achieve this.

Me driving a old datsun: "if you are not using all your leg strength then you are are not slowing down"

Every single DAMN sentence sounds like a question 💀💀🤣🤣🤣🤣

i thought you said "first jack off the car"💀

"who turned out the lights"? Reminds me of one of the best stories of doctor who

my friend who's a certified BMW mechanic taught me how to do this and he made the whole thing sound so sexual and he knew I would understand this 😂😂

I spent 4hrs. in county jail, because I had a home-made one-man brake bleeder, the sheriff thought the bottle and hose was a makeshift meth lab/bottle.

Pro tip, before touching the master cylinder, check that all 4 screws come loose, because if one doesn't, you'll find yourself in some trouble

Me after watching Chrisfix

Im watching this without having a car ..

Also, brake fluid eats paint so be sure to keep it off of any painted surfaces. Another thing is don’t let any dirt/debris get into your brake master cylinder/fluid.

Quick tip: don't do this because when you let off the pedal, the system actually creates a vacuum and you could be introducing air into your brake lines. There are tools that you can get from any parts store that use vacuum to extract brake fluid and avoid air getting back into the system. It's also cheaper to just grab a buddy (they don't even have to know about cars) to push and hold the brake pedal while you tighten and let off the pedal before you loosen the bleeder. Then have them press and hold. And repeat on all 4 brakes.

Hey guys! Chrisfix here!

One thing home boy failed to mention is you have to check the reservoir after every caliper. If you suck air in the lines you have to purge the system and restart the entire process. 😂

Most important rule: don’t forget to repeatedly check/fill the reservoir. If not you’ll get air in your line and you’ll will have to start over.

That was the most concise and complete description of bleeding a brake system I’ve ever seen.

I ALWAYS THOUGHT BRO WAS LIKE A WHITE DUDE FROM A DIFFERENT COUNTRY LIKE GERMANY😭😭

If your not familiar with working on cars I'd suggest not touching your brakes. It's dangerous.

Be very careful with Brake Fluid! It will eat through your car's paint

Just a side note . Your cap on your Master cylinder ( I enlarged it ) says use Dot 3 brake fluid and you refilled with Dot 4 . Most mechanics agree that Dot 3 and 4 are ok to mix but just make sure to not use Dot 5 fluid in with Dot 3 . As far as your one man bleeder method , Ive been using it for over 40 years and it works great . I learned it from an old GM Service Manual back in the 1980s . As you mentioned , after you depress the brake pedal about 4 or 5 times , you ll probably need to add more fluid . I use an old Pace Salsa clear glass Jar so I can watch the air bubbles easier .

Quick pinch itll do the job, ideally you want to be closing that nut in between pushing the pedal down and bringing it back up, making it an easy 2 man job, or a 4 hour job. Cool help non the less and its great to see more and more people teaching and learning to do their own work

That was actually very well explained for such a "short" video. Thanks man.

"Ayo who turned off the lights?" Sometimes the simplest tasks take all day for some reason lmaoo😂

The clear bleed hose should go uphill to the bottle to prevent air from entering the bleeder when you release the pedal.

where is the other guy? you can't bleed your brakes alonee 😭

Pro tip - get a sharpie and draw a line on your bleed valve continuing onto the calliper so when you go to tighten it again you just match up the line that you drew. That way you won’t have it too loose and die or tighten it too much and strip the coils (and die) from a leak

If you have an Acura/Honda, follow your manual. EXAMPLE DC5 - front left, front right, rear right, rear left.

Thank you so much for this. You have no idea how much I appreciate this video. I will use it!

Yeah I mean bro understood the assignment but didnt quite execute it correctly

Awesome short man! Clear, informative, and correct demonstration of regular car maintenance that every driver should know. I've been doing this since I was a kid and helping my dad do it and it's saved me so much money.

@SIXSPEEDOFFICIAL just a tip. Next time you should use dot 3 brake fluid. The brake fluid reservoir cap says to only use dot 3. I noticed you were using dot 4. I dont know what problem that will cause, or if it will even cause a problem.

You should have somebody holding the brake pedal down at the final pump and then closing the bleed off valve, so no air is in the system

That celery flip was fire

they need to be teaching this in school

A few extra tips! The wrench size you need is 10mm and you also don't have to take the wheel off just crawl under the car and you'll see the brake bleeder valve... it'll save you about 10 mins if you keep the wheels on and it's just as easy

What a nice way to put air in your brake system 😂

now we need a tutorial on how to change the blinker fluid :)

next can you show us how to replace blinker fluid?

Hey man can you do a tutorial for headlight fluid, my dads been saying I need to change it for a week and I have 0 clue

I did this in high school auto shop. My teacher tried to drive the car after. It had no brakes. This was you loose all your brakes 🤫

i love the tone of his voice in every sentence lmao

Instructions unclear, my car started moaning.

You couldn’t have explained it more perfectly. Im a mechanic and this is exactly how it should be done

People watching this, very important, don’t forget to replace your blinker fluid while you’re already at it, it can be easily overlooked

You should hold the pedal down at the last pump so as to have no air....

I love how he starts the video with quick fix when we all know this is nothing close too quick 😂

What a wonderful KZfaq short,managed to say all the important information without making us wait for another part

Instructions unclear: I have now emptied all the blood in my siblings body and replaced it with windshield washer fluid.

Blinker fluid tutorial please

That's what I pay people for, although I love to stay knowledgeable about the process.

Great tutorial 👍

I always do this job with a friend so he can keep pedal pressure on while I operate the bleed screw, that way you don't reintroduce air into the brake lines.

You failed to mention to have the hose up and make sure there are no more bubbles in the line, sometimes nipping-up them cracking loose a couple of time frees up some air. If you're going to try to educate people online, especially something as crucial as brakes, you need to be very precise and accurate!

Remember the bleeder screw should crack loose by hand. If it feels super tight and you a lil rust or a lot. Use a torch first to crack it loose then wait for it to cool down. Also gives you the chance to see if any of the other 3 screws will break loose by hand. If not then repeat. Definitely don’t wanna snap a bleeder screw in your caliper.

If you bleed it and it’s still squishy it’s time for a new master cylinder

“You need to bleed your brake fluid.” “Are you sure? I mean, it’s already leaking all over my parking lot after I hit that curb last night.” “Yep, just bleed and replace the brake fluid, and you’ll be safe for the road! 🤡”

Damn it took you all day? 😭🤣

That Miata looks flabbergasted 😂

Followed this tutorial, he never told me what to do with the cup of old break fluid, so i improvised and chugged it like it was a night with the boys 👍

song name :Midnight sun (ramzoid x hal walker) by zoid land. the album logo has a star with a face

I have done this many times with my father when I was kid, I get to press the pedal and enjoyed it. Thanks for the nostalgy.

Small tip if you don’t have flanged wrench 🔧 a regular one will suffice 🤙🏼

dont forget to replace your blinker fluid once every month

My brake pedal was squishy because of seized calipers. Old fluid is not always the cause.

Instructions unclear got hammered and sent my car like im Colin McRae

Love how clean your car is. Coming from a mechanic in Michigan

God dayum I’d rather just pay at this point

The cap states what type of brake fluid to put in. DOT4 is not compatible with DOT3 make sure you put the proper brake fluid in your vehicle

"First jack up the car" Me: *Drives it into a concrete wall* Okay now what? (While bleeding profusely)

There's something about the way this dude speaks - Like half asleep yet perfectly awake

Bro said quick this would take me an easy hour

Even so I wouldn't trust myself with this cause it could potentially cause me my life.

Thanks bro so helpful my breaks have been soft for the last couple of weeks but now its nice and smooth

Nice and easy appreciate it joe🤙

except you won't let go of the pedal while the bleed screw is open 1- push the pedal slowly after the bleeder screw is opened,until pedal goes to floor,hold it there and tell your guy to close the screw 2- now you slowly and hard start pumping it couple times till pedal feel hard repeat until you see clear fluid then go the next wheel

Great video.

Super easy! Thank you

Even the sun didn't have the patience...

wait, you didnt take a swig of the used brake fluid? thats the best part!

This process is a lot easier if you have someone pumping the brakes for you while you check the fluid coming out of the caliper. Thank God my dad was there to help me the many times some shit O'Reillys caliper failed on my Taurus lol.

Great video

Awesome and helpful content

Brilliant video

You forgot to mention that you have to close the brake bleeder before letting your foot off the brake pedal. If you don’t do this then air will get into the brake system and give you a squishy pedal which is the whole purpose of this video

When he kicked the wheel I died

love how he keeps going back to the mazda to film

This must be what my repair guys are watching while I sit in the waiting room

As long as the brake fluid was full when you did your new brake pad/shoes the level will indicate the life left on your brake pads, a faster and easier way to know the life of your brakes, Remember most of the time your parents have the best advice.

Why can’t ALL people post a how to this clear, effective, and efficiently

👏👏👏great vid!!

Loving the professional tools 😉

If your brake fluid is low, you need break pads. the material worn off the pads caused the pistons to use more fluid to work and lower the level in the reservoir. But yes, this is HOW you bleed breakes.

I feel like my insurance company wouldn't want me watching this video

And drink right after! The fluid has a nice taste.

the background music is fire

Bruh for a second I thought the lug nuts where marking on the tires and I was like "dafk this man on about" 🤣

Okayyyyyy!!! Thats actually cool!!!

I'm doing a motor vehicle course in college so this helps so much.

Nice video.

As someone at technician training at this moment, please check your brake split, this is all correct except on different brake splits this order may not specifically be correct. On cars with an electronic brake booster or brake by wure you may need to perform a brake bleed procedure using a software intrrface
