- This will show you how to bleed brakes by yourself!
very simple process that you can do with very minimal tools.
Tube size: 3/8-Inch Diameter by 1/4-Inch Clear Vinyl Tubing
Disclaimer: Careful doing this on certain makes and models. The ABS pump can get activated and push out all the brake fluid. Which will cause the master cylinder to run dry. This will happen if you have your key on and in some cases, it can happen without your key on.
There's certain ABS pumps that will allow passive bleeding, which it doesn't need to be activated via scan tool to get bled. While there are others that need to be activated via scan tool to get all of the old fluid out of the pumps.
Like always, do your research before attempting any work on your vehicle and be safe!

These are my favorite comments! Thank you!
ChrisFix birthed a great new generation of RUclips Mechanics
I have been spinning wrenches for over 20 years. I have seen countless products and tools designed to allow one person to bleed brakes by themselves. This however, this has to be one of the best tricks I have seen. Definitely a good one for when you need to bleed a caliper or brake hose. Not sure how well or It would work bleeding a ABS pump but still a useful trick to know
Love hearing this kind of stuff! As for the ABS modules, as you'd know, there are certain pumps that would need to be activated with a scan tool to get all the fluid out from those.
One work-around is to go to an empty parking lot and slam on your brakes a few times to activate the ABS module, then bleed the brakes again to get that fluid out. Not the best procedure, but it'll get the job done.
@@SlothKingGarage I’ve done that on my 2006 rsx after the reservoir was empty from a leak. Gravel roads work best.
@slothkinggarage8135 gravel road is better than parking lot
A lot of people add a finger full of grease around the bleeder valve to not let air in or out around when it's loosened
Yeah I've seen that done a few times
Wouldn't the bleeder hose just wipe it off?
@@MistaDontPlay34 just goop a little bit around the nipple and the hose
Most of my problems on my VW was that I didn't have the shoes tight enough
Much much better. Thank you.
There are many videos in RUclips, most of them, they do a lot of nonsense talking.
Many of those videos are are like 10 minutes long, and thet information is like 30 seconds.
Need to add thread tape to bleeder screw to stop from sucking air around threads
I swear I've watched 50 videos on bleeding breaks and non of them address this issue. I've bought 4 different break vacuums and tried his method and always have air being sucked in on the bleeder or on the threads
@@jgregg7100 The technique in the video used PRESSURE from the master cylinder to PUSH fluid. Once the bubbles are in the bottle, then any back pressure (when you release the brake pedal) will gently suck only fluid back up since the tube is submerge in brake fluid. No bubbles!
In contrast the VACUUM technique, relies on a tight seal all around, and when you suck too much with the vacuum pump, you will suck in air bubbles from anything not 100% tight. This is inferior technique.
Another one man bleeding tip: Believe it or not you don't have to pump the brake pedal, just put on the clear hose on the bleeder nut and put a bottle with some brake fluid and the hose submerged in it and crack the bleeder valve nut and slowly the brake fluid will empty into the bottle, and just keep the master brake reservoir full, gravity will do the rest, you can even do all the wheels at once if you have a hose and bottle or can at each one.
While bleeding do you leave the cap on the master cylinder on or off??
@@jlo5470 either way,
@@jlo5470off so no vacuum effect happens, just preference bro
Where do you get those clear holes?
@@cedricksullivan4422Home Depot or Lowe’s
I realize I’m a little late on this, but I had a question. When bleeding the brake, how will I know if there is air in the tube leading from the reservoir to the brakes. Additionally, after having started the brake bleeding process, how will I know when all air has been pushed out?
Sorry, this would be my first time, and with costs piling up, I wanted to learn how to the do the maintenance of my vehicle myself.
One way to tell if you have air in your lines is if your brake pedal feels squishy. Like very squishy.
When you're bleeding the lines, you'll see air bubbles get pushed out through the tube. Once you don't see anymore, then that means there's no more air in that line/caliper. Do it for every brake caliper and you'll be set.
Just start from the rear and work your way up front, usually ending on the driver side.
No reply wow😐
@@youbetubber777There's a reply
@@SlothKingGarage 💯
Erik the Car Guy taught me this trick a long time ago it’s a lot better then relying on some who doesn’t always pay attention when you tell them to stop pumping the pedal
Great video, super simple and to the point, I replaced a caliper on my car, and I’m over here thinking I need to go buy a whole air compressor just to bleed that one caliper .
With that size resivor you don't need to worry about that thing going dry its massive
It's one of the biggest resoviors ice dealt with lol. But it's always good to inform people so they know to watch it
This is awesome but how do you know the air is all out?
there will be no more air bubbles coming out the tube. it'll be pure fluid and if you still got bubbles that means you still got air
Best video ever! Very helpful 💪
Thanks I just did mine first time ever doing it, but it took two people
that's a very good and clear explanation! I just wonder how do i know when the old brake fluid is completely pushed out as they have a very similar color?
It'll be a little hard to tell at first, but new brake fluid will be a bit more transparent yellow. While old brake fluid will have a darker yellow tint to it. Once you have some of the old brake fluid in the bottle, it'll be easier to compare the two.
I do it the same way on my cars. I dunno if it makes a difference but I always put the jug on a crate or chair.
OK, great video but I do have one question. You mentioned in the video about pumping the brakes until all the errors out, I've even saw people mentioning in their comments about pumping the brakes but nobody has mentioned whether the engine is supposed to be running or not.aren't you supposed to start the truck when you pump the brakes?
Well I said "pump the brakes until all of the air is out" lol.
So when you're doing this whole process, you're supposed to do this while the vehicle is off. No need to have it on unless you're using a scan tool to activate the ABS pump to bleed the air out of it.
(You can also activate it without a scan tool, but you run the risk of having the pump stay on and causing the master cylinder to run dry)
Hope this clears it up!
You do all four sides right? Starting with the farthest?
Should the brake fluid reservoir cap be open or air tight when bleeding the valve?
Are you able to tell me where to start bleeding first on a 2012 Toyota venza ? Fwd
Warning, do not do this with a Toyota. The second you touch that brake pedal the abs pump will activate and pump your master cyl dry in a hurry. Some will keep going after you let off the pedal to try to build pressure.
All I own is Toyotas, I haven't experienced that issue ever. Sounds like you have the key on when you do it, which you're not supposed to.
@@SlothKingGarage it depends on the year, but it's actually a handy bleed feature. Just have your assistant hold the pedal down, open the bleeder and it pumps it out. It is supposed to stop when you release the pedal. I've heard of that not quite happening and it pumping it down. Abs is always live, key on or off. .you should know that.
@@SlothKingGarage also key on is the only way some makes are able to be bled because you have to activate the abs bleed function on your scan tool
@@oliver_klozoff Yeah I know it's supposed to be on when you're using the scan tool, so the ABS can get flushed. But that's for certain ABS modules as well. Some will just flush without being activated and others need to be activated via scan tool. Which you probably already know. But anyway, not here to bash knowledge.
My whole thing was how you worded the beginning, definitely don't want to scare people off by saying "not to do it on a Toyota". But a disclaimer, "hey careful doing it because....".
Which I could totally add in my description as well, and will do so people are aware of it.
@@SlothKingGarage agreed 👍
Does it matter what oil is in the bottle ?
Brake fluid has to be the only thing in the bottle.
What is the size of the hose?
What ever size it is it need to be tighter on the end where the valve is at to prevent the spillage
You ever found out what size tube it's
I believe it’s 3/16” ID
1/4 OD worked for me so 3/16 ID should work. It was actually a little small. Had to take a lighter to the end of the hose to stretch it over the bleeder nipple.
Does the car need to be started when you pump the break pedal. Otherwise won't the pedal be hard to press? Thanks
No, you do it with the car off. It won't be hard to press since you're opening the bleeder valve, which let's air/brake fluid out. The only reason why the pedal is hard, is because the brake system is closed. Once any part of it is open, it'll be soft.
@@SlothKingGarage Thank you so much, I get it now👍
“Hey what’s up guys SlothKing here” sloth king threw me off 😂
Nicely done in 4k, just got a new sub from me
Cooking Good Brou , Thanks for the Video 🔥👍💪🏼
I need an answer ...
Do you bleed brakes before installing new brakes or after? Thanks 🤭👍
I would do it after, that way you can get a correct final level
@slothkinggarage8135 yeah... another question guys !
When replacing A caliper ....do you pinch the brake fluid tube with rubber tip lock plyers and then simply disconnect the caliper and replace with new part ? (To block the air) ... I assume doing this can prevent a longer bleeding time for the calipers ....
Thankfully on my car I only have to bleed the calipers . But when the time comes its always nice to be able to DIY 👍
@@septsixquatredeux Yeah you can definitely do that. Good call on wanting to use those rubber tip locking pliers. Doing that will also help to reduce the amount of brake fluid that will drip out, so you don't have to rush to install the new caliper.
Only other tip of advice I'd give you, is to not let the caliper hang on the brake line if you have to put it down for a second. Just grab something to suspend it, that way the weight isn't on the line itself.
Anyway, have fun doing it!
Thanks, what's the purpose of having any fluid in the bottle when starting?
It'll prevent any air from going back into the caliper. Every time you release the brake pedal, it'll draw back a little bit of fluid. So without that fluid in there, it'll draw back air instead
What vehicle is this?
Where did you use the turkey baister in this?
I used it to put the old fluid from the master cylinder reservoir into the Gatorade bottle.
Be careful to not spill any brake fluid when you do it, it'll eat away any paint if left on there for too long
In Girlfriend
I use speed bleeders. They make a world of difference.
Great video man!
You said you’re going to fill ‘boat’ fluid up to the bottom to submerge the hose… you said “boat fluid, or bolt fluid?” My apologies I haven’t heard of either, could I use another fluid?
No I said "old fluid". So you just take some of the brake fluid that's in your resovior and you put it in the bottle and submerge the hose in that.
That is a good idea. I have a question for you. On a honda Accord 2005 6 cylinder front wheel drive. The air is stuck in the anti break . Is that possible or does it just need bleed off the rihht way
It's possible to get the air out of the ABS by bleeding each caliper. Each vehicle is different on how the ABS pump works. So you may have to activate the pump while bleeding the caliper to fully get the air out of those lines
This wirks perfect if you use a one way valve at the end of your tube...no need put fluid in your bottle first.
Works.
Please help, do you have to have your car lifted up and all wheels off? Or can u just lift the back take the rears off, bleed em, then same with the fronts?
You can lift the rear up, bleed those, then lift the front up
I don’t have old brake fluid, is that ok to fill the bottle with water? I guess the fluid in the bottle is just so that it leaves the tube air tight, but the water won’t be pulled in, correct?
I would avoid using water, just in case it does get sucked into the caliper. Water is the last thing you want in your brake system, as it can lower the boiling point of the brake fluid and it'll cause corrosion to form in the caliper/lines.
What I would recommend, is just use a little bit of new brake fluid. Just enough to submerge the line in the bottle
@@SlothKingGarage thanks for your reply. I saw in one of your other comments, I can take the old one from reservoir and put in bottle. How didn’t I think about it before 😂. Oil is actually new but OEM and I am going to track the car, so switching to DOT 4
@@krankertigaz Haha all good, I was actually going to recommend that as well. But hey, at least you asked first before doing it 🤣
What kind of car are you going to be tracking?

What is the reason to bleed the brake oil? Do I have to bleed it every single time after brake changed? Thanks.
remove air from the hydraulic lines which reduces braking power. if your pedal isn't soft then it's good
Quick question, do you do this with the engine running or not running?
You can do it either way. However, if you start out with the engine not running, its easier to feel what's going on as you're pumping the brakes. keep in mind that this procedure won't bleed the whole system. It only works for air trapped after the abs hydraulic pump. Basically you're just doing the calipers and the lines connected to them.
What size hose did you use?
Question. My front driver side caliper piston popped off and brake fluid drained all the way and emptied my master cylinder. Do I have to fill up and bleed all the 4 brakes or just the front driver side? thankyou
Ah that's really sucks. Since it got fully drained, you'll have to bleed all 4 calipers to ensure that there's no air in the lines
Keep the clear tubing up so the air can escape
While doing the whole process (bumpin the breaks) should I keep the reservoir opened or closed ?
You can keep it open
Great video
Should I remove most fluid from res and replace with all new first
I'd definitely recommend that
The cup is closed when you do it or on ?
You submerge the hose just to be air tight right? If my tube is connected to the cap can I do it like that? Without submerging the tube?
You'd still want the tube under the fluid so that air doesn't go back into the line when you let off the pedal. It'll draw a little of the fluid back instead of air. (It'll suck a little back in when you let go of the pedal)
@@SlothKingGarage thanks man
If you got brake fluid dripping from your hose connection at the bleeder you did it wrong.
Pretty sweet
I have one of those stupid electronic emergency brake systems, will that effect your process in the video, or can I do it like this
They should bleed fine without doing anything. I have read that if you're replacing the calipers, you'll want to put the brakes in maintenance mode, which fully winds the parking brake motor back. Now if you can't bleed them, I would try putting them in the maintenance mode. Each manufacture has a different procedure to do that, so look up the process for your specific vehicle
If I change one side calliper can i bleed just dat side or need to bleed all four ?
As long as you don't let your master cylinder resovior get extremely low, you can bleed just that one side
I didn't know I could do that thank you
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE, your one man bleeder set up needs to be OVER the fluid level in the caliper
Hi when changing brake fluid do I have to do that in every wheel?
Yes you do, to insure all air and old fluid is out of all the lines and calipers
So since the end of the tube is submerged in brake fluid, will fluid be sucked back up into the tube when you release the brake pedal since your are pumping the pedal several times?
Yeah it'll suck some up into the tube. It's just a buffer to prevent any air from going back into the caliper
So how does this method prevent the old brake fluid from being pulled back into the system?
Also do you have the engine running while pumping brakes?
@@gmr19...That's why you drill a small "Vent Hole", a 1/16 inch hole, will do..Drill the top of the Gatorade bottle cap...Drill and Rinse out with water a few days BEFORE you do the job...That way all the Plastic shavings won't be in the tubing or your bottle...And, the bottle and Cap are nice and dry...😊😊😊
@@gmr19... Typically...No...Unless you have a car that needs the ABS pump to be Activated...No need to have the car running unless you have a affinity for Carbon Monoxide emissions...
do you have to car running or off
You're supposed to make sure the hose is full of fluid so that you don't put air back into the system
Why was the reservoir's cap on? I seen videos where they take the cap off. what am I missing?
It's just resting on top, not fully screwed on. I do this to keep any debris from going into the resovior
@slothkinggarage8135 thank you for that very fast reply. I appreciate your time.
Putting the jar above the bleeder works much better.
What size tube ?
My master cylinder is cast with solid lid so you can’t leave the lid on and see fluid level. Will the brakes bleed ok if the lid is left off while pumping the pedal?
Yeah that'll be fine to leave it off. The main reason why I keep the lid on is so that any contaminants don't get into the resovior.
Awesome! Tyvm
Worked like a charm.
Where is the bleeder valve at and what tool do I use?
On the caliper there is small nipple with a cover, and you can use an 8mm wrench. Loosen it enough to where u see some brake fluid drip consistently, and normally always start farthest away from the master brake cylinder
Stupid question probably but do u have to do this to all 4 brakes??
Yessir, if your brake fluid is old, it has to be done to all 4 calipers. If it's not old and you just need to remove one caliper/replace it, you can just bleed the air out of that one.
Do you have to do that to all your brake pads or can you just bleed it out on one break?
You have to do it to all of your brake calipers so you can get all of the old fluid and any potential air out of the lines/calipers
This works great thank you for the video
Great vid and better way to bleed your brakes.
Thank you sir
i installed only one new caliper do i bleed just that one , or do i still need to do all 4?
You can just do the one. BUT if you haven't bled the whole system in two years or more, that fluid will need to be flushed. If that's the case, do all 4.
@@SlothKingGarage thank you for the quick response , you gained a sub 👍🏼
@@wallstthug Much appreciated!
@@SlothKingGarage I bet that's what's wrong with my truck. It's nine years old and had the original tires on it so I suspect that the rubber lines are probably holding the original brake fluid.. how often should you replace your rubber brake lines? Thanks in advance
@@billkincer4256 Oh man, yeah that fluid is very old. You're supposed to change it every 2-3 years. (Your manufacturer will probably have a mileage interval. But 2-3 is what everyone goes by.)
Since brake fluid is hygroscopic, it absorbs water. Which reduces its boiling point and can cause rust to build up in the lines.
Since it's that old, I'd change it, then do it again about 6 months later. Just so it has time to break down any deposits
This basically replaces the need for a speed bleeder doesnt it?
In a way it is. Since having the hose submerged in the brake fluid initially, it won't allow air to get back into the brake lines while flushing. Which is what the speed bleeder does via the ball bearing inside of it.
Hi. so i noticed my brake pedal a bit stiff after i refilled my brake fluids but did not bleed the brakes. Would this be the main cause of a stiff brake pedal?
thanks
Hey! So it could be a number of things like, a failing brake booster, one or two calipers that are starting to seize up or a vacuum hose that's bad.
Have you driven it around? If it's just stationary and you pump the brakes a few times (especially without the car running), it will feel stiff.
Now, if the fluid hasn't been flushed in a while, there could be some small deposits that have built up. You can try flushing the fluid and see if it clears up the issue.
@@SlothKingGarage i just tried the brake booster. it is working normal. thr brake calipers has only been there for 90000km. shouldnt be a problem right? the last time the brake fluids were flushed was done back in 2021..hmmm
@@cloudchaser9951 Hmm, well, if the pads were worn down and you had to top off some brake fluid. That would also cause a stiffer feeling since there is more fluid pushing against the pads.
Does the vehicle stop fine when you drive it?
And also, calipers can last a while, depends if you change the brake fluid every 2-3 years. If it's not done regularly, they will wear out sooner due to corrosion.
@@SlothKingGarage the vehicle stops fine
just that i feel the brake pedal isnt the same as before . i used a scanner and no codes were found.

perhaps the brake fluid is contaminated?

@@cloudchaser9951 I was going to suggest to bring it to a mechanic if it feels totally different, in a bad way. Better to be safe than sorry! Keep me posted on what it is!
Can this be done with the Toyota Prius? Because i'm not allowed to open my door apparently while doing this
After looking into it, you cannot use this procedure for your Prius. You'll have to get a hand vacuum pump. If you open the door on a Toyota/Lexus Hybrid, it'll activate the pump. If I had a Hybrid, I would make a video on how to do it. But "The Car Care Nut" has a great video on how to bleed the brakes on a hybrid! Go check him out, you'll be set once you watch his procedure.
Does the order of the calipers matter when you do it?
Yes, start with the rear driver, rear passenger, front passenger and end on front driver side
You didn't explain how I know the air is out
What happens if I leave my "sturdy bottle" below the caliper while bleeding the brakes?
If the line isn't secured, it could pop off during the bleeding process
What size tubing?
I’m doing my front and back breaks do you bleed every single tire?
Yeah, you'll bleed every caliper. Starting from the rear, passenger side first, then driver. Move to the front passenger then finish on the driver side
If you’re doing it solo, how do you know if all the air is out?
When you look at the clear tubing, it'll be full of brake fluid leading to the bottle after you pump it a fee times. When you don't see any little air bubbles coming from the bleeder valve, that'll be your indicator that you don't have any air in that line.
I used my cell to video every time I started the process would record 1-2 min at a time get out close the bleeder and review the video until I was satisfied there were no bubbles coming out. Did this for each wheel and ended up using the whole I believe 32 oz bottle of brake fluid pedal feels good and solid now.
Could u do this on just one calliper or u need to do all 4?
You really should do all 4, in the order specified by the manufacturer. Usually the furthest from the master cylinder first. Do you need to? Probably not. But who wants to gamble with brakes? Better to do it right and not have any problems. Most shops would probably bleed all four even replacing one or two.. you really should bleed all 4 any time a brake line is loosened or replaced. I'm not an expert mechanic though.
you must mean
"till all the oil fluid is out of the system"
I used to do this until I decided to just buy a power bleeder. Sometimes,I had to put Teflon tape around the threads on the bleeder screw. So fluid didn't leak past the threads, and no air could get sucked back into the system. If you're bleeding the brakes because you replaced the master cylinder or the ABS module,good luck. Just take it in because that's most likely going to require a bidirectional scan tool in order to do the job correctly and have a firm brake pedal and good brakes afterward. The reason a bidirectional scan tool is required for many ABS braking systems is that there's a brake fluid resivor inside the ABS module. You NEED to activate the ABS motor to push ALL the air and fluid out into the brake lines downstream of the ABS module. Then you'll be able to bleed them. If not, then you're probably just wasting time and brake fluid.
That’s gonna be a good drink
Give that drink to the mechanics that try to over charge people lol.
So you can bleed the whole brake system by only bleeding through one caliper ?
No no, you do this for every caliper
Could you just bleed one wheel or do you have to bleed all them at same time
You can just do the one if you're doing a repair on that side. But if your brake fluid is dark and hasn't been changed, then you'll have to bleed all of them....Starting from the rear of the vehicle then moving to the front
How do you know when it’s done
When you get good pedal.
Do you have to put the resorvoir cap back on ?
It’s smart to, you don’t want any contamination to get in (dust etc)
Connect check valve
Do you have to bleed each caliper or just one?
To bleed all of the old fluid out, you'll have to bleed each caliper. Starting from the rear.
If your fluid has been flushed recently but you're replacing one caliper, you'll just bleed the single one.

Yea so i accidentally unscrewed the brake line too the caliber lmao I screwed it back on but now my brake is spongey and loose, there might be air in the system right? Also my brake fluid isn’t the best so I guess my question is, I would most likely have too get the air out of my system since my dumb ass opened the brake line?
😂 Oh that's a hilarious accident. But yeah, there's air in there now, so just go ahead and bleed it. If your brake fluid doesn't look good, go ahead and bleed the entire system.
Just start from the rear left, then rear right, move onto the front right and end on the front left.
