Hi Everyone,
We got the car back down on all fours!! Not before a complete brake flush. With all the brake lines opened and the calipers removed there was a good bit of air in the system. Heidi helps me to get the brakes properly bled and flushed. My, that old fluid! Enjoy!

Hi Everyone,
We got the car back down on all fours!! Not before a complete brake flush. With all the brake lines opened and the calipers removed there was a good bit of air in the system. Heidi helps me to get the brakes properly bled and flushed. My, that old fluid! Enjoy!
That "start with the calliper farthest away" is something from 75 years ago, when it was a simplex system.
These days it really doesn't matter.
Just, in general, be careful with brake fluid, since it's a excellent paint remover!
I would have used the power bleeder myself. Never had any issues with it.
Great to know. I usually do if the reservoir is disconnected from the MC. I just don't trust the rubber grommets to handle 15-20psi.
@@HeidiandFranny Just make sure you have the correct one for your application and they are fine. They have them for american cars, europeen cars, asian cars.... even in different sizes (for small clutch masters) and different threads. Great product. You never miss .
As an added preventative measure, once you have finished bleeding ad locked off the nipple, I use the small tube that comes with Corrosion X or WD40 and squirt a tiny amount in the nipple to displace any brake fluid, which being hygroscopic will draw moisture and promote corrosion. Not my idea. I learned it from a mechanic I respect greatly here in the UK. As soon as I saw it I thought it was a great idea. again, super camera work and editing. Keep it up.
I keep a small model making paintbrush with my anti-seize container and a bleeder nipple just might get a little bit of "anti-sleaze" around the perimeter of the _closed_ bleeder. But I hadn't thought of WD-40 inside the nipple!
I spray the bleeder out with brake clean, putting the nozzle tube directly down the bleeder (AFTER IT'S TIGHTENED DOWN SNUG OF COURSE) so I know it's completely dry. That way if I see even the faintest amount of fluid coming from the bleeders, I know that they are leaking
Great work Franny and I hope Heidi’s leg recovers from all that pumping 🤪😝
Lovely and the cars great as well brought Heidi out to do the hard work you have done a fantastic job thanks for your vids stay safe girls 👍👨🏻🏭🇬🇧
In my experience, I've never had an issue with the power bleeder. Not sure what Ferrari reservoir attachment is, but for Porsche, they are screw on so it would be virtually impossible to blow it off. Also means bleeding can be a one-person job. Ready to see the 308 inn the road!
Agreed. It reduces the time greatly plus the biggest issue is you are not pushing the brake pedal to the floor and in turn putting the master cylinder seal into the unpolished portion of the bore of the cylinder, therefore possibly wearing it prematurely.
Best part of your activity on this video?? YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO WAIT A MONTH TO GET THE CORRECT PARTS!!! :))) Looking forward to seeing this one back on the road!!
You have really nice cars, and so beautifully looked after
Great job as always :) Heidi pressing and holding the pedal while Franny is bleeding the brakes reminds me of my youth when my dad was DIY-ing. He always asked me to help him in case he needed some extra hands.
Thanks so much!
Always enjoy Heidi in front of the camera!
Looking forward to the first test drive out of the garage 👍 ….. springtime is right around the corner ….. Hope springs eternal!
Spring hopes are eternal :)
Great job ladies, see you on the next one.
Great job. Working in my uncle's car and came across this. Now I gotta do it😢😂. I know it's been more than 10 years so.....
Thanks Franny & Heidi. It's always helpful when you have an assistant. Looking forward to the next video. Cheers!:)
Really impressive videos. Super informative, no wasted time, to the point, well researched. No bs rants that go on and on and on and on. This is awesome.
Always love your videos ladies, interesting and informative and real world classic car ownership maintenance and experience (unlike so many on uninformed YT guys who just drive the car then provide their pointless commentaries..) Keep the videos coming and roll on sunny classic car driving weather! :-)))
Just wanted to say thanks for the great videos on the 308 brakes. My son and I have just fitted a Superperformance brake upgrade to our almost identical car. We referred to your videos more than once, they were a huge help :)
Nice mode of purge brakes.really nine mode.thanks .babai
Good video Franny, but I think since you have one use the pressure bleeder, becourse when dealing with an older masterbrakecilinder the piston and cups can easy be damaged when you push them way down in the cilinder to a place inside cilinder where the brakecups have hardly ever been. The damage caused by residue in the old brake fluid. (It happened to me once) Let's hope your master cilinder lives for a long time.
Great work as usual. A pleasure to watch .Thanks
Lovely job and what a beautiful example of this model. Have you inspected the chassis frames ? Ian Tyrell of Tyrells Workshop UK RUclips said that rust was a major problem despite the body parts being glass fibre ( GRP ) . Well done yet again Franny and Heidi.
Thanks so much! Our car is luckily very clean. Starting in 1984 Ferrari added rust protection on there 308s. I haven't seen any rust on this car at all :)
@@HeidiandFranny Brilliant. That is some good looking machine
I prefer graVity bleeding since it doesn’t push the master cylinder beyond normal travel and I have time at home
👍
Great bleeding tutorial 😀🤓🇬🇧👍🏻
Good to see Heidi in front of camera....
nice work girls stunning car
Nice work ones agin.
This car is looking perfect. Bet you can’t wait to hear it all run?
It snowed here all weekend :( Hopefully we'll get a warm spell soon :)
@@HeidiandFranny Yes I saw the cats adventures in the snow. Lovely!! Not so good for classics though…. What’s your snow car?
Hi! Just wanted to let you know it seems there are two videos on this playlist that aren’t H&F’s Garage videos. Doesn’t seem that you intended to put them there so wanted to mention it. Love your videos!
Thanks! Well look into it. What is the name of the playlist you are watching? Sometimes we have videos in multiple playlists.
Why do you pour brake fluid with a drinking glass? Are you working out of a gallon jug of new fluid?
Yes. With having to perform brake flushes every couple of years the gallon jug seems easier :)
Thanks for that.
Congrats and everything seems to be moving at a steady pace. What's the next project car?
We still have a few things to do in the 308 but next is the brakes and steering in the 356 :)
The Ferrari looks showroom ready. :) What video editing software do you use?
Adobe Premiere Pro.
great video but I gotta beef with you!! You keep beating me to the good stuff. My next video was going to brake bleeding, now it'll be anti-climatic.
Oh no! Sorry about that! I just got the folks warmed up so they can see how a pro does it :)
@@HeidiandFranny you guys are awesome. keep up the good work.
Beautiful car! Hadn't heard of the risk of blowing fluid all over the place with the vacuum bleed systems!
Pressure bleeding from the master cylinder reservoir, it might happen. And you should see that reservoir swell! It's kinda scary.
Vacuum-sucking from the caliper, a fairly tidy process!
@@theundergroundlairofthesqu9261 I struggle with the vacuum bleeding from the calipers- I always see tiny bubbles - I think air is sucked in from around the bleed nipple - do you ever run into this problem
@@carlloftin2850 Yes, I have seen that. Possible options:
a) ignore it! I found the bubbles to be consistent and small, not like the big bubbles we're used to getting when bleeding air out of a system. (It's also good to have a small flashlight or headlamp and a clear bleeding tube to see what's going on with more clarity.)
b) Take a finger and push on the loose bleeder screw, this (hazy memory) might reduce the amount of air passing through the threads. I think I was pushing laterally. Similar to a trick I figured out long ago for oil drain plugs -- push in as you unscrew to reduce early dribble before the sploosh. Something to do with threads, is my theory.
c) prevent air getting past the threads by daubing a little bit of antiseize or grease around the bleeder screw where it sticks out of the caliper. This can not only prevent air going down it, but also moisture and salt when driving. I've done this without any problems.
d) One more bleeding tip I invented on my own but later found out I was not alone: for something like a new caliper or something that really has been opened, I bop the caliper with a rubber-tipped hammer during bleeding, to shake any possible bubbles off the interior wall.
My brake bleeding tales & tips:
Used to live in a rust belt city full of potholes. My fairly new VW Golf made all sorts of clanking and banging noises, but that was just the potholes. I flushed the fluid at the 2 year mark, as VW commanded.
A few years later I found that I'd left my wee 7mm wrench on the right front bleeder and put the dust cap over the nipple, so the wrench was along for every bump and pothole.
I'm about to start using a Motive pressure bleeder for some cars in the fleet, but I've had a lot of good luck with the CAPRI tools vacuum bleeder, which runs off an air hose from my air compressor. It's very easy to turn on and off. I believe Harbor Freight sells a cheaper version, and considering it's a plastic pressure chamber and a venturi, it shouldn't be hard for HF to get that right.
Another nice feature of the CAPRI bleeder is that a small diameter scrap of copper tubing fits in the rubber nipple on the brake bleeding hose, and you can insert that copper tubing into brake or power steering reservoirs, and quickly suck them dry (or lower their overfilled state), it's much tidier and easier than the ol' turkey baster.
Years ago, in my parking lot days, using a clear tube to bleed with, I learned just how quickly those bubbles move as soon as you close the bleeder or stop the pedal from moving. I also learned that you can really see the bubbles better in the dark with a headlamp on. (And clear tubing!) (Also, vacuum bleeders are deceiving, because they suck air past the threads of the open bleeder nipple, so if you see a constant stream of bubbles, that's not from the braking system, so don't worry.)
In those parking lot years, I also invented this, and now, in my youutbe years, I've found other were people doing this: bleeding a brand new caliper or one that's been disconnected? While you're bleeding, give some boppity boppity to that caliper with your rubber-tipped hammer, it might release some air bubbles that were clinging to the wall of the interior. (You know, the Craftsman hammer with a red rubber tip and a yellow plastic tip!)
I only learned about this a few years ago: some master cylinder reservoirs have a divider wall between front and rear circuits and you really need to fill that reservoir to get fluid into the back half. I learned this the hard way by using my CAPRI vacuum bleeder to really suck the lines dry going to the rear caliper on my old Benz. I had been peeking into the fill hole of the reservoir and thought that was the level! No, that was the front brakes' level.
P.S. Capri Tools CP21029 Vacuum Brake Bleeder , $94 at the Bezos hut. Cheaper versions of this concept are $30.
We love HF. ❤️
If you've got that much air in the system, should you not bleed the clutch as well?
The clutch on this car is by cable so no need :)
Great job as usual. I also like to put a wood block under the pedal so it doesn’t bottom out, which can injure the seal in the MC.
I changed the brake fluid in the hydraulic system alone. I used another expansion tank cover and a manual air pump.
Hi what make of brake fluid do you use as always agreat video
Hi, Pentosin Super DOT 4 :)
Thanks 😊
Never could figure out why Ferrari went with that 90 degree brake linkage on the 308's. Sure looks like there was room for a more conventional layout.
Watching this series, does anybody besides me get the feeling that this whole car was designed by aestheticians with basically no concern at all for serviceability?
@@jlwilliams You mean, Italians, right? Just say "Italians."😃
