Super clear and easy to understand and follow procedures. The explanation on the necessity of changing the brake fluid every 2 years solved my puzzle. Very informative and helpful video. Thank you very much!

Thanks very much! Before making the video, I did a lot of research. The reasoning behind brake fluid change frequency was of particular interest to me too. Thanks, Phil

Not all brake fluid reservoirs are on the drivers side. Many, if not all Peugeot and Citroen cars for example, the reservoir is on the passenger side. 👍 Interesting and well presented video either way. 👍

This is how i do it. Pump and fill pump and fill. Being careful not to let the master go to low. In a hurry you can just use 1 brake line to simply get some old fluid out and some fresh fluid in.

Sounds good! 👍

Haha, wud u believe i not only sheered off the bleed nipple but also twisted the brake line into the rear brake drum on one side of the 1978 VW Camper 😢 But removed brake line to first junction ( 2 feet) and bought new one along with new wheel cylinder. Very cheap on Autodoc, arrived yesterday, within a week of ordering. So well done with ur job, just one thing ?? I thought u were meant to start at furthest away caliper from the reservoir, when flushing ??

@ReviveMyRide Жыл бұрын

Hi there! Bit of bad luck there! But I suppose on an old bus like that, even with the best will in the world seized items can shear etc. I also use Autodoc a lot, if you’re not in a huge rush, they are well priced and you often have a lot of options regrading brands etc. That’s a good point regarding the furthest away calliper, I don’t think it will make a big difference but I suppose the theory is that you would keep topping up the brake reservoir more and hence flush through more fluid? I was a little naughty and didn’t bleed the rears because I know I an going to be removing them soon for painting! Cheers!

Nice explanations, just one question, if you pump the brake pedals multiple times but don't close the bleeder valve, doesn't the fluid will be vacumed back into the brake caliper? usually people do it with someone else to close the bleeder valve. EDIT: apparently the bleeding kit features a non returning valve in it. Is it located in the black rubber part?

@ReviveMyRide 2 ай бұрын

Thanks you! Yes, that's right, the bleeding kit has a non return. I haven't checked but I think you are right that it is in the black rubber part... Cheers, Phil

Do you have to pump the brake on all four wheels when do this fluid change

@ReviveMyRide Ай бұрын

Yes you do and I’m not sure how much difference it makes but someone commented that it should be rear brakes first and then the fronts. Make sure you pump through enough to clear out what is in the brake line. Cheers, Phil

A six point wrench or socket is worth it's weight in gold when loosening those bleeder nipples.

@ReviveMyRide 4 ай бұрын

Absolutely! Really easy to break those little bleeders! and then the fun really begins!

Waste oil and waste brake fluid is not allowed to mix. Why? Waste oil can recicle and reuse. That´s why it is bad if there is mixed brake fluid. It ruins oil.

Thank you, good point! I'll be disposing of the brake fluid properly in future 👍
