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.

yeah or regular cars mechanics do this but never would i on nice brembo caliper or custom cars it makes a mess the trick is do not open the bleeder too much and have enough PSI on the bleeder device always on each wheel.

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.

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?

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?

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.
@autofanaticcars5 жыл бұрын
blowing out brake fluid with high PSI is a good way to spray your paint and ruin the finish on the car or wheels without even knowing it until its too late, no thank you my method here is safe and proven for high end show cars. every car has a different bleed sequence but this is how i do almost all cars even exotics. the key is you need 50 PSI at the reservoir to bypass the ABS spool valve otherwise your wasting your time bleeding or you need to unlock the ABS pump via OBD Scan tool.
@sandygalbraith495 жыл бұрын
I think you may have misunderstood what I was saying. Where you are using your pick to push the left over brake fluid out of the CLOSED bleeder screw I'm using compressed air with a rag wrapped around the the bleeder screw so that no brake fluid can go anywhere but onto the rag. None of it goes anywhere but on the rag. As to the rest of your statement about the ABS valve etc I don't know anything about that as I wasn't trying to do anything with that. Just a different way of doing the same thing.

@@autofanaticcars ok I trust you. You Definitely seem to know what your talking bout. By the way in future I plan to put the Big Brembo Brakes on my 20 GT. The kits I wanna get are from Shelby American. Is it necessary to have to change the Half Shafts in order to get rear Brembo package to work?? The kit that American Muscle sells has that,the knuckle,the Emergency brake cables. Everything… but I want the Shelby Brembo package. Do I have to change the shafts??

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)

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

Full transparency. First brake bleed for me, but definitely capable of doing this work.
@autofanaticcars4 жыл бұрын
use an amber or red brake fluid and until you see fresh color from the bleeding tube at each caliper thats how you fully flush the system.

@@autofanaticcars Following up, this video was super helpful, thank you again. I'm going to be changing out my clutch line from the plastic line to Fords stainless version. Any recommendations on procedure? LMR has a video, but if there is a better way to do it that would be helpful. Looks like a lot of pedal pumping vs using the Motive bleeder.

@@DonPatr0L You have probably already learned, but there's no bleeder for the clutch part of the system. Pumping seems to be the primary way to do it from what I've read/seen. Cheers.

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?
@autofanaticcars5 жыл бұрын
never let the master go dry you will need to remove it and bench bleed it carefully without side loading the piston then preassure bleed the system

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
@autofanaticcars Жыл бұрын
Mark you have so many items mismatched on your system and this can be a huge challenge to get the braking you desire. the Master is critical but I do not recommend a Wilwood Master they just have to many issues on older cars with the piston side loading and failing , order a master cylinder from Detroit Speed for GM cars 1967-69 Camaro listed on their website they work great and do not suffer the angle issues we use them all the time on classic cars and hot rod builds.

@@jeffreyzelhartjr.2669 i have fought these jobs on occasion in the shop and they will drive you insane, did you pull the master off the car and what car are you working on? try using a Mity Vac switch to vacuum and connect to the master you can try to pull vacuum and bleed while it is on the car but you also have to make sure the pushrod is not tweaked or your can side load it and score the bore and seal and be wasting lots of time. I have every bleed tool you can think of and sometimes a trouble job will make you crazy. take a break and regoup and look everything over tomorrow also check for leaks everywhere the smallest leak even at the bleeder can also be a problem when bleeding

comes from feel, tight enough not to leak otherwise you can damage the conical seat of the caliper.
