This was the most helpful video on this, thank you. That bottle is the real deal.
Why do I picture this guy wearing a velour jogging suit, white Jordans and a thick gold chain? Excellent video!
8:40 nice sounding motor 9:00 sirens LOL. Just bought one of these bleeder bottles, thanks for the information.
Just ordered one of those bottles. Thanks man.
arent you supposed to start bleeding furthest away from the master cylinder? Rear passenger --> rear driver side --> front passenger --> driver side
Furthest from abs module I think.
NO air escapes around bleeder. But it enters through the bleeder threads when you unscrew it and depress the pedal. Much better to have a pump on top of the brake fluid reservoir with constant pressure. That way NO air can enter the brake system, since the pressure in the system only forces it out, never in.
Can you make a video showing how to do that? I don't understand how to go about doing that and videos make it easier. I don't know how a pump wouldn't put air into the system.

One man job, NO mess if you're a bit careful and NO air in the system. All you have to do is put some pressure in the pump and go to each wheel and unscrew the bleeder.
@@joeybuddy96 you pump brake fluid, not air. It's essentially what they do if you get your brake fluid flushed at a shop.
That fluid looks good compared to what I see at my shop. Many of the cars I see look like used diesel oil.
I changed my brake fluid anfd it was black. Really improved brake performance
There is a Box Bleeder (6 point) made just for the job for about $10. It comes in SAE 5/16 - 3/8 and 8 - 10 metric, and is thin wall and deeply offset.. Alternatively, the next best wrench would be a flare nut wrench, but calipers frequently do not have enough room around the bleed nipple for this.If a person is doing any serious brake work a pair of box bleeders is a must-have.
Or, just buy snap-on 12 point wrenches, they do not slip.
how rusty are they
A squirt of WD-40 down the bleeder screw will greatly reduce the torque needed to break it loose, without braking the screw off; I admit I snapped a few off...
nice tip txs man
also buy a couple of spares before starting
Great job, young man. Keep doing what you do.Can you come to Dallas ,Tx.. and do my brake lines .again great job.
Had to leave a like for a fellow NY'er, great video.
This works for 2017 Acura MXD also?
Great video. Succinct and informative. One tip, brake fluid is very caustic. You wanna put towels down to cover everything around the master cylinder and clean up your caliper wheel area from any drips as well. You dont want even a drop finding its way onto a seal or belt or rotor.
agree with the info.. I just spray break cleaner

Canarsie in the house. Nice job.
Thanks for making this instructional video on how to flush your own brakes solo! I got the same bleeder bottle years ago and I'm just now starting to do it myself instead of leaving it to mechanic shops.
I have a spill-free funnel from back when I changed out the coolant, might use that to just keep the master brake cylinder reservoir topped off.
this is fucking great, the accent puts it over the top hahahah
Can I do it like this with any car/truck with ABS Brake system?
Nice video and thanks for this!. I was thinking Can I do it on my 2016 MDX but with the tires on and not lifted up?.
interesting, how your bleed sequence is different from my first gen mdx. I just looked at my manual.
Solid video, looks like a fresh brake job, If you did not pull guide pins and clean and re-lube, you might consider it in the future. Many (bad) shops even skip doing, that and it only takes 5 minutes a corner. It is super easy and should be done every time a caliper is taken off
Of course they skip it. They need you back there as soon as possible. Doing a complete and honest job is literally bad for business. DIY Whenever Possible!!!
when you start, best to suction out as much fluid as you can, then top off before you start bleeding, may as well get the most old stuff out as possible. Also put block under pedal so master cylinder will not travel into area it never has before, and possibly pick up internal grime that never was touched before. 1 quart should be more than enough, but not if you bleed too much at each corner. I think the system might hold 20-24 ounces. Also if you are doing a real through flush, consider pushing caliper piston in with bleeder open as a starting point, that will evacuate a lot more fluid from caliper piston, but there are risks involved in that method.
All Good Tips. Thank You.
Cheers Bruv this video helped me a great deal, and I like you little bottle with the magnit on, I wish I could get one in England... Good day fella
Why cant you get one in England? I thought Amazon was available world wide. Anyway...worse case scenario is that you can easily make one of these bottles yourself. I was just way to lazy to do it. You Tube has a bunch of vids on how. Thanks For watching.

Yeah your right, I've just ordered one, but my motor has ABS, and I accidentally let air get right into the system by not topping up the MC, I've bleed my brakes three times, but there still spongy, I've been told there's air in the ABS module, and I need hook it up to a computer diagnostic system to activate the pumps in the ABS, then bleed it again... It's become a right pain in the arse.. Grrrr !
this was your first brake flush? not that dirty, but its pretty dirty!!!
Great video! This thing is pretty good I just used it to bleed brakes on my old landcruiser. I have to do it again as the fluid is still pretty dirty but I definitely appreciate your tutorial to make sure I don’t forget anything when I’m able to get back to it again.
Really great video.. I purchased 5/16 OD 3/16th ID clear tubing at the hardware store. 10 cent a ft for 4ft,, I drilled a 5/16th hole in a Gatorade bottle cap and a small air hole in the cap Then I pour fluid into the bottle approx. 2 inches , slide the hose thru the hole down to the bottom of the bottle, I then put a tie strap under the cap around the tubing so it cant pull out,, I also apply a small amount of silicone Brake grease around the base of the bleeder screw to stop air entering the system. Cost with out fluid less than a buck.. This video he did is awesome, im just tossing in some extra ideas...

The fluid was definitely dirty based on the dark color. Good video. I have done this with a Gatorade bottle.
bro, you want to know how tight that thing is? that thing is TIGHT!
will this work on motorcycles? I want to do a flush and fill on my bike. did you pump the brakes before putting the tube on the bleeder valve? because as soon as you opened the valve the fluid came out into the tube. that's why im asking. or is that how it is when you open it once the tube is on?thanks!
I'm not sure if this would work on motor bikes...do your homework on that one. But NO, I didn't pump the breaks before I started this procedure. The system will have a bit of pressure inside once your system is sealed. Fluid should start to flow automatically....pumping the break pedal just adds more pressure in the system forcing the brake fluid out.
thanks for all ur video. u help to keep us away from all those Stealership.... keep good work bro
Hahahaha I know it was 6 yrs ago. “ Stealership” It is still valid today. Cheers from Montreal
Great vid. You just saved me a trip to the mechanic.
When you said “more torque”, I said, “ you mean leverage buddy”…then you corrected yourself.
Too funny.
That accent...Sopranos all the way!!! Expected to see Tony.
thanks
Thanks for the great video, I ordered the bottle based off this video. I have 3 cars to bleed and it will go through a lot of use!
That brake fluid looks like someone with bad kidneys 😆. One thing I like do is read the comments on vids I watch. Saw several comments about wear gloves when handling brake fluid, as it can be absorbed thru your skin and eventually can damage your kids. I recond wearing gloves when handling any auto fluid. Got job bro👍. Shout out to BK
Great timing. I picked this one out of all the options I saw online. It just came in. Using it this week. Your video confirms my thoughts on how to use since it didn't come with instructions. Thanks.
Dont fully press the pedal!
@@knet1111 why
I'm going to make me one of those.
Was trying to figure out how to use this bottle and what makes it different from a regular bottle. I guess the difference is that you don't have to keep opening and closing the bleeder valve every time you press the brakes, you can just leave it open the whole time?
Do you even need to step on the pedal ? Seems like this method is called “gravity bleed” without pumping the brakes .
This guy 🫣
Does it matter where bottle located? Higher or lower than bleeder screw? Also some videos close the master when doing, does it matter?
Thanks so much for this upload! Getting ready to install a performance brake kit on my TSX next weekend and was worried because I don’t have anyone to help me. This saves me a lot of pain in bleeding the brakes.
Glad I helped....Thanks for watching.
good video, I like the bottle.. I going to buy one, thanks for the info..
İts really improve brake performance of the car.
Hello, I know you replied on 1 of the question from the viewer stating you used almost 2 of the 12 oz bottle to bleed your brake system but does it mean these 2 bottles of new brake fluid would be enough to stay in the brake system after flushed out the old fluid from all 4 calipers? I want to make sure i have prepare enough brake fluids before I start the this project on my 2014 MDX instead of running out to get more in the middle of the job. Thank you!
Well, if you are using the Genuine OEM Honda fluid I would buy 4 bottles (Yes...Kinda Expensive) you might get a good deal on eBay. I think that will cover an entire brake system flush. But the genuine Honda fluid only comes in 12oz bottles so buy 4 just in case. If you have some left over...Great!! save it. You can also use the cheaper Prestone AS401 DOT 3 (Yellow Bottle). The Prestone fluid comes in a huge 32oz bottle so buy 2, it should be more than enough.
Thank you so much for your professional advise!
Greatly appreciated!
You want to have the bottle higher than the bleeder but below the master cylinder.
Bro, can I do it same procedure. I have crv 17 touring ABS braking system? Thanks
Does car in america use DOT 3 ?? DOT 3 is 20 years old!
SuperLoffe yup. Dot 3 is much more common than 4. Dot 3 absorbs less water and since most Americans never change the brake fluid they use 3 over 4’s higher boiling point
I may need to replace my brake calipers, your video just convinced me to buy this bottle instead of the cheapo 5 dollar ones on Amazon. Cheers.
Did you pump the peddle without screwing tight the reservoir cap back on tight
Do you mean as I was bleeding the brakes? Sure I did, there is no harm in that... as long as there is always fluid present in the reservoir...air can not get into your brake system.
If you notice the underside of the cap has a rubber seal/diaphram that is accordianed up in the cap. That allows the seal to expand into the reservoir, allowing brake fluid to get used up without air getting into the fluid part of the reservoir.
This is important since brake fluid will absorb moisture from the air. All I'm saying is you do not need to leave the cap loose when bleeding.
Talk to much an take to long to start stop watching at 2 mins
Nice bottle the problem that the hose and bottle not clear to see bubbles
The Brooklyn acent takes me back to the East coast. I used to live in NJ and Brooklyn myself! Great detailed video my brother! I just bought one of these bottles, and I'm doing a TSX caliper upgrade on my Civic Si, and installing new SS Goodrige brake lines very soon. (Weekends are super packed for me)
Did u do all this while the car is running?
How many bottles of brake fluid do you recommend to have before starting this job? And you can’t use brake fluid that’s been opened before right?
A 32oz bottle should cover the entire system but brake fluid is cheap...buy 2 bottles and keep one on reserve. You CAN use an old opened bottle..no harm in it... (Its still better than the old dirty fluid in your car anyway) but of course its better to start off with a sealed bottle.
Just rear brakes and no front brakes need to do?
You just convinced me this the one I need not the pump bleeder. Thanks 😊
Do you release the emergency/ hand brake before you start bleeding ?
The emergency/hand brake actually has nothing to do with a brake bleed process. It should probably be on though...just for safety reasons. Keeps the car still while you work...if you don't intend on taking the wheels off.
empty reservoir all the way
Thanks for the video!!
Very good video
I have Acura Tsx 2010 I will probably do mine as well after watching this and I might probably go with Prestone instead of Honda's brake fluid
Dont be a cheapo
@@jaymesp95 okaayyy
good video. where can i order that bottle?
I got it from Amazon.
@@brooklynbionic9171 tq sir.
amzn.to/2ZmPtkZ
Great video, going to do mine soon. Thanks!
You are a pro now my brother and you can charge for your services on this and any other honda, nissan, lexus whatever? you have proven yourself worthy
Thanks for the good words....but YOU and I know that i'm far far far from pro status... I'll keep trying tho.
Disaster.
BUSHWICK in the house. Que pasa ? Bro
But if the cap is not screwed back on tight when pumping brakes doesn't this push up the brake fluid to be pushed up over the top of the reservoir ,or does it not
No..pressing on the brake pedal does the exact opposite. It pulls fluid INTO the brake system not push it out. The only thing that can force fluid OUT of the system is compression of brake piston.
Gracias, Loco!
واو
Your brake fluid looks new
The start says to use an open end wrench, the procedure shows using the box end.
Looking at the caliper assembly of the first wheel, the guide pin boots are dirty, the abutment springs (stainless glides) look like they're distorted, not seated and have never been changed. Not service those items is why most brake pads and rotors become damaged
Your right...it was a double ended wrench and I said open ended but should've SAID box ended according to how I performed the job. Guide pins are 100% on point. I did a full rotor and pads job just before I did this brake bleed...also made a video on that. Maybe it's just a bad camera angle you were looking at. Thanks for watching..
box end is better just because it has more contact with the nut and less chance of stripping
Aaaaaaanddd action starts at 06.00
Did you notice a difference with the brakes? I need to do my truck. I've noticed the brakes are a little soft when things heat up. Thanks for the video. Do you start the car when you pump the brakes?
To tell you the honest truth...NO. No difference at all. But I don't think my fluid was that bad at the time I made this video... but that does'nt mean that you should'nt bleed/change yours. You might see a significant difference. Brake fluid is extra cheap. Just Do It.
mine made a huge difference after a flush, (straight from factory) then when we re did the brakes we saw the pads were not wearing evenly. they were probably not relubed correctly. Check out south main auto's method of cleaning calipers. or just replace the caliper entirely if they are too rusted, fresh lube, fresh bleed and you will notice so much more power
15$??????🤣🤣🤣
The next Tyre and every Weel? Hä?
How much bottle did u use?
Honda OEM DOT 3 brake fluid only comes in a 12oz bottle I believe. I used almost 2 bottles to flush my entire system but yours may use less... or more.No need for the more expensive Honda fluid though, you can use the popular Prestone AS401 DOT 3. Its only 8$ for a 32oz bottle and works just fine.
I hear you can not ...or should not use anything other than Honda break fluid...when I called local Autozone..the gentlemen told me the dealership orders parts and fluids from them.. and they ordered fluids other than Honda .. go figure I'm really confused???
Good work
Thanks
But "protecting yourself with rubbers" leads to having less pleasurable feeling! Um...what are we talking about here? Brake bleeding or using cond... Anyways, thanks for the video!
Yes Albert...you are absolutely correct. But.... we live.. to make more videos. LoL.
Thanks for your video! I just have one question. Would you mind sharing where you place the floor jack?
Yes, check out my other video. Jacking and Jack Points for my MDX.ruclips.net/video/A_5W6nzoLuA/видео.html
Very informative. I just bought an Acura 2014. Im going to follow ur video and tune my car. Thank You
Hey tough guy you eva herd of a funnel
Tough guy????😂😂
I appreciate the video. I actually made a very similar video to this one. I still think you did a great job though. I like watching automotive related videos.
During the bleeding process, when you're hitting the brakes a few times, do you have the car on? or off?
I had my vehicle is accessory mode. Meaning car was ON but engine wasn't running. Some vehicles wont allow you to fully compress the break pedal if the car is totally off.
Brakes should be bleed with the car engine off
If you have a diesel with a vacuum pump are you not supposed to have the vehicle running otherwise the brakes will be rock hard after about 3 pumps
15 bucks for that bottle? Are you kidding? I could put something together like that for a buck and a half, and work just as well!
You must be poor
😂😂😂😂
THANKS, WHY WOULD U TALK ABOUT A TOOL & NOT LEAVE THE LINK TO THE ONE MAN BLEEDER TOOL? BEST, G E.
