  • Awesome - Homemade car brake bleeder -- Brake Flush -- Free and you can do it one person . Works brilliantly for a free diy project. All you need is a spray bottle and some 1/4 or 6mm clear plastic tubing. You will need to make a connection with the suction pipe from your sprayer into the 1/4 tubing. This can be done with teflon tape or a few inches of 1/8 rubber tubing. If you cant get a tight fit hot glue works well. Once the sprayer is connected to your hose all you need do is open the bleed screw and push on your plastic tubing. Add some brake fluid and start pumping. Cheers Gerry

      Bonjour. Merci pour la technique. Mon liquide sort à peine, environ 10cm. Il ne veut pas remonter tous le tuyau. Du coup je fermais à chaque fois pour pouvoir retirer le liquide.
      Papa sait que je suis entrain de faire cette purge mais il n'a pas vu comment je la fesais. Il n'est pas curieux donc il ne saura pas.
      Se serait pas plus simple de se mettre sous la voiture au lieu de retirer les roues. J'ai pas assez de place sinon j'aurais fais de cette manière.

    You saved my bacon getting trapped air out of a stubborn clutch with a really inaccessible bleed nipple. The two person method was painfully slow and didn't work well enough. Using your method let me pull about 300ml through the system in 5min. No more air bubbles and much better clutch bite point. This is going to be my standard method now, thank you.

    I took an old 12v tire pump for car tires and JB welded an inlet tube where it sucks in air and connect it to a catch jar with an input and output. Put it on the nipple, plug in the tire pump and watch the catch jar as you open the bleeder and fluid will flow. Easy and powerful.

    @Manuel_Z_Kayaks 5 лет назад +14

    I designed one of those one man "bottle" bleeders over 30 years ago... But you have definitely improved on that idea!
    2 tips to make it work better
    #1 keep an eye on the reservoir level so it doesn't get too low.
    #2 keep the tubing above the brakes so you don't create air bubble back bleed from the loose bleeder valve.
    👍👍👍👍👍 5 thumbs up to you!

    This is a fantastic idea, another method is put a piece of tube over the open bleeder then put it in an old bottle of brake fluid then just pump the brakes, no need to open and close the bleeder. It works great. Also a tie wrap around the hose stops leaks.

  • @martinbenton742
    @martinbenton742 5 лет назад +9

    Very good! Please remember, start the bleeding process at the farthest wheel from the brake fluid source, (tank). The back passenger side first. The back drivers side second. The front passenger side third. Lastly, the front drivers side.
    Cheers Gerry!

  • @lisab3396
    @lisab3396 4 года назад +1

    Bloody Brilliant ! I would like to suggest just little addition to that kit. A small one way check valve check valve! From the brake bleed, use a 1"/25mm hose, then the check and then as long a hose as you need to the stray trigger.
    The trigger has it's own stop valve and the check valve will prevent fluid from being drained out of the hose when disconnecting from the bleed screw. At least a very minimum amount of fluid of which a rag will catch. At least, if you drop the hose or lay it down, it won't leak all over the place!
    Ohhh and by the way, make sure you top up that fluid in the reservoir before you start and keep an eye on it and keep topping up!!!!
    Cheers

    I didn't read all the comments. Try Teflon tape on the threads. And janitorial supply will have a high capacity sprayer for rear brakes.

      Parts stores still make money off the fluid, pads, rotors, calipers, and other parts. As a parts store counter person, it really doesn't make me any difference. I'm either going to sell the parts to you directly, or to you via your mechanic.
      If you, as a DIY'er, want to do your own work using tools you make from stuff you have laying around, I'll still be here to sell you the parts you need and don't have. By the way, we sell the spray bottles and tubing as seen in this video. Probably 5% of my sales start off with my customer saying I saw this on RUclips. 😉

    Good idea, I did a similar thing without the squirty gun, I just put a long tube on the bleed nipple and up to the inner wing ran into a plastic container then pumped the brake pedal and topped up master cylinder, as you pointed out as long as the tube runs high up any air runs up the tube, when no more bubbles close nipple job done. No need for second person.

    I've been using an Eezi-Bleed for years but have found it struggles to push fluid through ABS systems. So, I've been looking for a way to create vacuum to suck fresh fluid through. I considered using a vacuum cleaner and even the car's own vacuum assist pump. Now though, I feel like any video I put out about brake bleeding will always be eclipsed by this one 😂. You Sir, are a genius 👏👏👏👏 🖖🖖

    • @CycloneCyd

      Oh, and additionally: two tips:
      i use a small tie wrap to secure the hose to the nipple
      and
      apply a couple of drops of brake fuid to the threads of the nipple to provide an air seal (grease and oils may contaminate the brake fluid).

    A good idea as a poor mans substitute for a $19 hand vacuum pump, but:
    1. Air is more compressible/expandable (stretchable) than fluid. A shorter tube makes the work go faster.
    2. Most of the air is being sucked in around the threads of the bleeder screw. Put some silicone grease/Silglyde around it and this hack is more effective.

    • @TR4zest
      @TR4zest 6 лет назад +5

      ... anf find a piece of tubing that fits, so you have no tubing joints, there is probably more air coming in where small tubing is sleeved into bigger tubing, than via the threads.

    Very helpful. I just did my motorbike using a piece of clear plastic tubing and a smaller diameter rubber hose inside of that to fit tight over the bleed screw. But I used the old school method of a jar half filled with fluid. It works but there's always a danger of spilling it and on a bike I could reach the levers to pump fluid through. However, I've just mad up a 'squeezy' version for next time. Great vid.
