I watched this video because it is over a half hour long and contains abundant specificity, something that lacks very badly in other people's tutorial videos. KZfaqrs like you deserve praise. If this video were an hour long, I'd still watch it multiple times over for thorough reinforcement of knowing the process. We need more of this on youtube.

I'm back...again...and again, your content helps novices like me do it correctly the first time WITHOUT having to shell out to the dealer. Thank you!

Great video. I did this on my Gen 5 Camaro SS this weekend and followed the process. It worked flawlessly. First time using a power bleeder and first time bleeding Brembo Calipers. This video was so helpful and gave me the confidence necessary to attempt it. By the way. For those of you doing this after a line lock installation, Do all four wheels in the order recommended in the GM manual. Got more air out of the rear calipers than I thought possible. Thanks so much for doing this video.

Your tips are gold. For a beginner like my self it guided me past the rookie pitfalls. Thank you

Having done a lot of circuit racing, where I'm constantly changing out brake fluid for new fluid every race meet....Everything this gentlemen has explained in bleeding brembo's is absolutely spot on, including all his little tips. The big tip he mentioned ....sometimes you have to bleed the caliper multiple times to remove the air from the inboard to outboard crossover is also spot on. I also give the abs module a gentle tap as well. Very Very good video mate.

Love your videos and learn so much. After getting my 5.0 I'm all about doing things RIGHT.

Thank you for being very thorough about the power bleeder and how to use it effectively.

FYI: Ate stands for the Alfred Teves (Teh' vis) Company. I worked at a Mercedes-Benz repair shop and we referred to the brake parts simply as Teves to distinguish from Girling, etc. Great content.

Thank you so very much for sharing your expertise. Your attention to detail in explaining this procedure and willingness to demonstrate every step including how and why is unmatched anywhere by anybody. Might have messed up with my current project of removing all four calipers on my C8 to get them powder coated by getting air into the ABS controller. Time will tell when I get it put back together.

excellent video. I appreciate the time you take and extra tips. the video shooting is really clear and precise making it easy to understand how to do the job. Bravo!

I was just going to swap out the fluid in my truck. Was looking at this pressure bleeder to do so. Defiantly going to get it. BTW... super detailed and if I had a high end car I'd 100% want a dude that like you that pays that much attention to detail and keeping the fluid off your car. Defiantly love that you want it done right without me coming back.

Best video yet on pressure brake bleeding. Thanks. Now I go and do my 2018 Porsche 718 GTS...

I would like to thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. This video guided me perfectly. Dealer wanted too much money. Thank you Sir!

thank u soo much! I was worry about bleeding brakes solo. Now time to order tools and upgrade to brembo big brakes!

I am extremely happy that I discovered this video while in the process of researching Bleeder kits. Your video was clear and concise, Thank you, Semper Fi, USMC.

Good stuff thanks for sharing your process.

well this has been a great help, did not know brembos had a different bleeding system

Wow. Best video I've seen on bleeding big brake kits with power bleeder.

I am glad I found this video, I am about to bleed my truck after replacing the calipers, brakelines and hoses etc. I have a similar bleed tool that connects to a tire with a regulator (no, it doesn,t have a quick disconnect) - the tips with the hammer will come in handy

You deserve more subscribers. Your attention to detail is excellent. I will be applying much of your expertise and techniques to my 2012 Boss. Please keep the videos coming.

Great video! Super thorough and good pace. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for the video Phil! I purchased everything you recommended and it worked perfectly. Question: I did not do the modification and pressurize the system to 50 psi. What’s the purpose for bleeding the ABS module? I’m not a mechanic so I’m legitimately asking. Brakes feel good though (2016 base Cayenne)

ABSOLUTELY SUPER JOB----BEST ON KZfaq!!!!

Thank you so much for this very detailed video.

Excellent vid, love the detail. Am going to attempt this on my brake system once I do caliper swap. Thx

Great vid - thank you for taking the time to make this 👍

WOW! Another extremely informative video. Thanks again for sharing your intensely disciplined knowledge of doing things right! Quick question, the jacking rails you installed on another video, do they fit on all Mustangs of 2016-2017 like the ecoboost or does it only fit the GT 350 and GT's?

Thank you for the video and tips to do the job right the first time! Keep it up.

Thank you for a great break demo on bleeding process. Very informative. Giovanni Naples Fl.

Excellent video

Great vid thank you!! Had new calipers installed at the dealer yesterday six piston in the front and four in the rear. They had my car from 10 AM to around five before the brake job was done!!!! I have a 2020 challenger scat pack so when I got into started as soon as I touched the pedal I knew something was wrong pedal did not feel the way it did and even after I started it it went almost to the floor!!! Went back in complain service manager checked it he didn’t seem anything was wrong and I explain to him that it’s not right I said I know my car. So I told him I’m going to drive it for the weekend but taking it back Monday morning until they fix it right. Stop by my buddies house he has a 2020 challenger also and had him take it for a ride and he said all American feels all right so he left he was going back out and then I was like three minutes later he called me up he said dude something wrong with your brakes I got back in my car and it is totally different!!!!!

Since you do all 4 corners 2x, do each corner 1x then repeat so that the fluid in the reservoir is certainly new the second time through on each corner.

This is awesome. I know the bleeding pattern from 1st through 4th is different for my STI hatch, but this was very informative. I will be doing this soon. Thanks! 😎

Good job 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

You can also spray the bleeders with electronic spray cleaner to get any leftover fluid

Good stuff. I have a 2020 gt pp1 and I plan on changing pads often for track days. I know the rear piston needs to be turned when being pushed in but I've heard guys say when you push the piston in you should crack the bleeder as you don't want to push brake fluid back through the abs system. Any truth to that?

Great advice on using a dabber!

At the end of the flush it you depressurize the motive tank and lower it below the brake master cylinder reservoir wouldn’t it create a siphon and suck the extra brake fluid in the brake master cylinder reservoir back into the motive tank? Then no mess?

Great video, thanks !!!

Can you please add a video of how to drain, flush and refill cooling system fluid on the Mustang next? Greatly appreciate it! Thank you.

Brilliant video as always. I was really hoping this was the customized GT350 Calibers nevertheless, I think the Gloss Black is a much better idea for contrast.

What if you don’t have e light new fluid to flush each caliper more than once??

Hi Mate, Good Job. I am learning a lot from your videos. Last week, I bleed brakes with a pressure bleeder and Vizibleed One man brake bleeder. I did a few mistakes and I am worried about air in the brake circuit. After I finish the work, I did notice hissing noise (near pedal) when I pump the brake pedal when car is off. Brake feel normal and Car is only 4 year old with 72k miles. Mistakes 1. After removing old fluid from the brake reservoir, did not add new brake fluid. Instead, I poured a full 1-litre fluid in pressure bleeder. 2. I did not pressurise the circuit enough. Skoda recommends bleeding brake at 2 bar pressure, whereas I did at 1 bar. 3. Passenger left nipple I opened too much and brake fluid leaked via the gap around the nipple. What could be the issue? is it normal to hear the noise? Do I need to bleed brake fluid completely and re-fill? Please advice. Thanks..

Got a link for the quick connect adapter? I did this yesterday - worked fine. A couple things I'd add: if you don't have the quick connect get nylon plumber's tape for the brass fittings that come with the motive in the link above or you like won't be able to maintain a steady psi. Also @ 15psi I had to open the nipple a lot to get a decent flow - especially to the rear. Also - you did mention toothpicks vs easy dabbers.. for anyone wondering - a regular wooden toothpick works just fine - save the $9 unless you just have to have the dabbers... but thanks for that tip - would've completely dripped brake fluid all over my CF wheels.

Sorry by the way that was an excellent video on brake bleeding. thank you for that. I'm buying a motive today.

Where did you get the quick connects for the motive bleeder hose? I have the same bleeder and love it but a quick connect would help.

Thanks for posting this very helpful video. I have a questions and would appreciate your feedback. At the beginning of the procedure (after adding new brake fluid to the bleeder container and connecting the bleeder’s adapter cap to the car's master cylinder reservoir) there are several inches of trapped air in the plastic tubing between the bleeder container and the master cylinder reservoir that will get pushed into the master reservoir once the bleeder container is pressurized and the new brake fluid begins to flow. Doesn't that introduce a substantial amount of air into the brake lines?

Fantastic video!

if you flush each caliper more than 1 dont you waste some new brake fluid?

What I didn’t understand was why would you put brake fluid in the bleed bottle if you are pressure bleeding? Air is being forced out so how can air get back in? As long as you don’t pump the brakes

I think it was mentioned to add some new brake fluid to the catch can, is this correct? I have a 2020 GT so looks like I want the European fitting. Thank you.

Can I fill some new fluid into the reservoir to max level before pumping the tool?

I can't turn my bleeder screws as much as you do. If I turn it more than a very little bit, like few degrees, fluid starts coming from the threads. Is that normal or am I doing something wrong?

For living in NY that car flawless

Hey AF do you still have the videos on painting your brake calipers. I went back to check them out and a couple videos of the in between step are missing. Thanks!

What type of quick disconnects are those. Just standard air compressor disconnects?

Could you have removed the cap from the master cylinder after depressurizing and let the fluid flow back into the motive power bleeder? Could be less mess. I'll be doing mine this weekend and you provided some insight and tips that I'll be using like displacing the fluid left in the bleeder. My Motive power bleeder is new and I see that it's recommended to dry-fit it first to make certain that are no leaks prior to adding fluid.

I just bought this kit for flushing my brakes. I must have missed when you mentioned it.... How much fluid did you need to flush all 4 brake calipers?

I know this is an old video, but this a very in depth informative tutorial that deserves a like and a thumps up! 👍 One question, is there a specific size for the quick disconnect fitting that I need to buy?

Thank you.

Once agin an excellent video

Would this work for the Mach 1 too (2023)?

Great video

Would you recommend this over a pneumatic brake bleeder? *edit: nvm, right before you started the first caliper you stated you prefer this oppose to the pneumatic bleeders due to having a fresh tube for a tight fit.

After you bled the first caliper the first time and noticed it dropped to 11psi. Did you pump it back up to 14psi before doing it for the second time. Do u want to keep a consistent 14psi the whole time?

Great VID! 👍 Thank you.

I did my mercedesbenz and a don't now what happen the just started with a lot smoke , the bolts need. A special torque to close-up ?

Great videos you put out, incredible learning about how to do the work on my car and do it right! Not sure if you could answer this in a video comment, but I am upgrading the brakes on my base GT to the Brembo performance pack front brakes....I also need to replace the master cylinder with the one from the performance pack, as it has a bigger piston in order to be able to clamp the bigger calipers. Could you point me in the right direction to where I could learn what I need to do differently in order to do this job right with the additional step of replacing the master cylinder. Thanks much, I really appreciate the content you post.

Awesome video. If I am just changing my front calipers, do I need to also bleed the rear calipers ?

So if I'm changing out front calipers, what's the proper bleeding procedure for the system?

What do you do with the remaining fluid in the Power Bleeder? Dispose? I'm assuming you can't pour it back in containers to reuse at a later date and have to throw it out.

If I'm only upgrading my front calipers, is it necessary to bleed all four corners? Thanks

Thanks for the video. I put the performance pack Brembo brakes on my 2016 GT yesterday, and followed this video, bleeding everything twice. When I first turn the car on, at idle, I can push the brake and if I push hard enough it will hit the stop. Driving seems normal and I did several stops with enough force to activate abs, all that seems fine. At a light, at idle, I can still push to the stop, though there is resistance and I have to keep pressure. I know the master cylinder and brake booster are different on the base gt, so could it just be the new feel and slightly weaker brake booster, or is it air? Thoughts?

Thank you for the video. I am going to do the brembo PP swap on my GT (non perf pack). I know they're mostly just for looks, but I like the way they look and I got a good deal on them. Are you on the DIY Detail facebook group? This car looks familiar

I use the K-member in the front too. I've used the factory location on the pinch weld once, and it folded over.... not good. They aren't strong enough side to side.

Wanted your advice. I have a 2020 PP2. By accident I left a hard line uncapped while replacing brake lines. The MC emptied out. I have the vaccine bleeder kit. I suspect that won’t do the job and a bench bleed would be necessary but wanted your advice. I suspect too this could be an issue for the abs system. UGH

Do you use just a standard ‘brass quick disconnect ‘ that you can get from a hardware store?

Do you have a link to the quick disconnects you used please?

Does this product work on a Lincoln LS and Chevrolet Silverado?

Curious. I have seen others use the power bleeder for air pressure only and putting fluid in the brake fluid reservoir. Thus, no need mess at end, since no brake fluid in the power bleeder or lines or overfilled master cylinder. Figure biggest drawback to this method is having to check and refill master cylinder sporadically. But any other disadvantage to doing it that way?

Another way I've found that works well for clearing the brake fluid from the bleeder screw is to use compressed air with a nozzle on the line to blow the brake fluid out of the screws...of course you use a rag around the nozzle to catch the blown out fluid. Works very well. You bled from inside to out...any particular reason for that? Porsche recommends out to in always bleeding the screw farthest from the reservoir first. Just curious.

This is a fantastic video. Do you think I can use the same brake fluid you are using on my 2009 Hyundai elantra ? Thank you so much for all your hard work

Yessss! Finally the red calipers go on ! Gorgeous! Did you have to bleed them again or did the first attempt do the job .. Also I was thinking would a hose clamp "squeezer" placed on the brake line stop a lot of air from getting into the system when you swap calipers? U know the big yellow scissor looking clamp things people usually use in rad hoses to clamp them upon removal so they don't loose a lot of fluid . I've got them in smaller sizes and was thinking I could clamp the rubber break line ? I don't have my calipers yet .. I was hoping to get a set from you but I may just go the ford performance route to get it done asap .. Thanks for another great vid ! I will be using this on my install ! ... Best regards Justin J

Great video as I am getting ready to flush factory fluid out of my Brembo System and plan to use a Motive Kit. I like the idea of the dabber, I've always rolled up a wipe to a fine point and put it in to absorb remaining fluid in the nipple because I'm just anal and don;t want it to attract dirt in grime inside there. Appreciate you taking the time and making a useful video. Just the right amount of detail and I'm thankful you don't have some lame 30-60 second intro wasting my time.

Two questions: 1) What about the E-Brake for the rears? I heard of pumping 5x in btwn bleeds. 2) I heard also that it may be as high as 30-50 psi per Ford shop manual? This was a spec for the Focus RS with Brembos.

Do you need to extract the fluid in the master cylinder first? Or do you just push through the old fluid during the bleed process via the calipers?

Checked out your link. It says it don’t fit my 2020 Mustang GT. Think you posted wrong link for that pump bleeder

I purchased this power bleeder once, but had to return it because could not the cap to fit the hole of the master cylinder. I did want it to work since there seems to be no other way to do a perfect system bleed. What adapter should I get to fit the master cylinder of a 2012 Mustang GT? The one that the manufacture recommends is the one that does not fit (you showed it here in this video - the "GM" one that also fits Fords)

Nice Video. How do you tell you have completey flushed out all old fluid if it is not discolored? Thanks

Great video. Appreciate the time you put into setting up the camera properly. Question I had. If I'm bleeding out the stock fluid to replace with race fluid, do I simply keep going till I notice the color difference in fluid? I have a 16' GT PP

Hi where did you get the easy connectors for the hoses?

You've got me sold on a motive power bleeder! I'm ordering one today and bleeding my brakes on my 2011 GT. Do you know how this could be used for the clutch system since newer mustangs don't have a bleeder on the clutch?

if for some reason the master cylinder went dry previously but you power bleed the system does that mean u dont have to bench bleed master cylinder?

Glad I found your channel. You are meticulous and I like that! Appreciate if you could take a minute and answer my question. Question: Based on the entry level upgrade listed below should I have a really good brake pedal and stopping power? Background: 71 El Camino doesn't stop well. I have a Leed Brake 7" disc / disc MC / Booster with a PV4_C proportioning valve . I've got Wilwood D52, two piston calipers on the front with a Power Stop Z23 slotted rotors. On the back I have Right Stuff rear disc conversion kit. All new lines and hoses. Leed Brake Technical guy said because of the way the MC sets on an angle on the GM A bodies air gets trapped near where the outputs are on the MC. And so he says the best way is to bench bleed the MC and then gravity bleed one wheel at a time. But when I do that I don't get a great brake pedal. Do you think the Motive System will help? Do they make an adaptor for the old GM style MC? Your thoughts? Thanks in advance. Mark in Houston, TX

do you have a link for the hose and quick disconnects?

Im am currently going through the same thing your buddy if going through. I have bled the system and even used the ABS obd 2 scan tool but i still have a spongey pedal. Any ideas? I have a brand new mastercylinder aswell

Does this fit a 2015 mustang gt the items u have in your description or do I need to buy an adapter for the reservoir cap

Where did you get the quick disconnect from

Thanks for content! . I might have missed it, but what adapter did you use

Is there a torque spec for the bleeders? I thought that over tightening was a huge issue for these aluminum caliper.
