I enjoyed the video, but I’ve read several other places where one should start bleeding at the furthest wheel from the master cylinder. In the case of ABS vehicles, one should start at the furthest wheel from the ABS module.
Rule of thumb is start to wheel farthest to the driver side which is the right rear wheel. But refer to ur service manual coz theyre not all the same. My car says I start at driver side front wheel.
Sir. I have watched over 8 videos with no help until i came across your video. Thank you so much. Im all about saving money but brakes are not my forte. You helped me thru this end process. THANK YOU
I watched 10 videos of this today and I’m glad I found yours! You got straight to the point with detailed instructions and you did the JOB CORRECT! Thanks Bro
Mine from AutoZone didn't come with directions either. They really just quit caring about little details like quality of construction and quality build.
I really liked your style of video and your way of showing kinda what its like for the "not as affluent" do it yourself person. The only thing I disagreed with is your order of bleeding. All cars are different and the standard with abs is furthest from the cylinder then next, etc. But there are exceptions to every rule. It's free and easy to look up your vehicle and see what the recommendation is. Safety 1st and all that. Otherwise you were spot on. You also did a great job of showing the process the air in the line, etc. You also set up your shots and then had to hold the camera so in my book your top notch. I think everyone that comes across a video like this can appreciate it immediately. Hope you are well and life's good, as I'm 2 years late to this video.
Major respect!! Thank you for taking the time to be so helpful. The enhanced calm that you have takes the stress factor down so much! You have a new fan sir, thank you, I hope you have a great day!!!
What a great video sir. I tried to bleed the brakes yesterday on a 2019 VW Tiguan . Changed rear rotors and pads . Over torqued a caliper pin and it broke off in the caliper with the threaded side stuck in the hole . So now I have a new problem. However after watching your video . I realize my own tool is defective. The needle is not moving when I squeeze the trigger at all. I put in the little o-rings on the inside of the cap before sealing it .
just replaced my strut/shocks on the rear of my Celica. bough this in anticipation of bleeding by myself. Thanks for the video, way better than the non-existent instructions that came with it.
Yes this video absolutely helped me I'm at the science center in Eugene Oregon I pulled in here cuz my brakes went straight to the floor for some reason I figured it was air in the lines so I pulled in here took the tire off and checked it Sono brake fluid anywhere I didn't have another person with me if I look on RUclips for something helpful came across your awesome video and yes I was just about ready to do it just like you said your video thank you and I appreciate it have a good one my name is Steven
I just inherited my dad's 03 f150 you just made my life so much easier cuz I just had to replace the master cylinder cuz it had an internal leak in the seals
Thanks my fellow american brother.I appriciate your trauning video good job.I had not used this bleeder kit.I have always used a secind person.usually my mother or brother.Wr had mechanic fun in our terns.disagreement on hiw to.lol.He passed at 24 years old in 99.Mom cant help these days.I just had test in my heart last two days.Your quike training regreshed my memery and how to connect the reservoir. NO instructions from the zone.Keep promotting the ametican sport by
Yup it will really help me, yes your so right, DIY would save you money plus the fact that your sure that doing it for your self job is really done right as any owner wanted it to be. Thanks bro. By the way, I'm from the Philippines 🇵🇭
Small point of correction on an otherwise awesome video. You want to bleed from farthest to nearest in respect to the master cylinder, not nearest to farthest. Resource: ASE A5 certification.
I tend to agree. Thats the way i do it. My last job, the manager swore by closest first. Ive had it work just as well both ways. Some cars/manufacturers actually do say to start closest to the master, mostly some newer cars.
are you telling me i had this tool for 2 months and just now figured out how to use it? thanks. i will update you when i eventually get around to bleeding them lol
I purchased the same unit you have for my Mercedes S550.... not trying to pay $350 when I can do it myself. I'll be getting to this in the morning. This looks easy enough. I'll let you know how it turns out. Awesome video...Thank you!!!
I Just Bought This Today Too For My 08 Vic Civi. Mechanic Wanted To Charge Me $265.... I Laughed All The Way To AutoZone!!! oan. I appreciate the vid BackWood! 👍
I... I'm a mechanic that charges for doing that lol! XD!!! I will say $200 is to much money for flushing a brake system, I mean the fluid is like $10 or so for DOT3-4, and the charge per hour about $60-$90 bucks depending on the shop, so honestly you shouldn't pay over $120 max, if you don't want to do it your self.
A video great and great job man! You were right every other video says start with the caliper farthest away from the master cylinder! I've worked in auto dealerships my whole life and I've had mechanics tell me it doesn't matter what will you start with as long as you get all the air out of the lines. Again great job keep up the good work bro!
Awesome video you should teach classes to these RUclipsrs that over complicate things. Keep up the good work an keep it simple. Oh yea whoever reads this subscribe to this man's channel. Thanks bro you rocked this video.
How many minutes per brake do you estimate it took you to bleed the fluid until there was no bubbles? I've had my truck for 2 years now , same year make and model as yours and just can't seem to get those bubbles out. I've checked everywhere for no leaks and I think maybe I'm not seeing that perhaps maybe it's because it's a bigger vehicle why it's taking so long for these bubbles to get out.
This makes more sense strat from the front going to the rear all the other videos I’ve been watching started bleeding from the rear passenger end which and then the front it will defeat the purpose of bleeding out the air in the system
Its actually better to start furthest from the master since that is the longest line holding the most air so you get more air out faster starting furthest. Ive done it both ways, they both work, but i tend to like starting furthest. By the time you get to the front, there is less air than starting closest.
Thanks for helping to give instructions n confidence to the community. My first time seeing you and it was easy to subscribe may U be blessed to continually be a blessing. Stay prosperous!?
Yes if you have a Ford 150 you don't need to jack it up. But if you have a recently manufactured car most likely it will be rather low to the ground. You may have to jack it up. Also, in my experience with my 2015 Honda Fit, even though my brakes did not need bleeding, and I was simply flushing the old dirty fluid out of all the lines, my vacuum pump kept pulling air bubbles though the tubing. Eventually I realized that by cracking the bleeder valve only 1/2 a turn or even less, what may have been happening was that air was being sucked in from around the threads of the bleeder valve. Supposedly an "old mechanic's trick" is to put a little multipurpose grease around the threads. However I had trouble getting grease to that spot. The area was rather crowded with things. Also, I kind of worry that with grease around the threads, when screwing the bleeder valve back in some grease might be forced into the system. So I decided that next time I was going to look for a helper bleed the brakes using the push method rather than the pull method. That is, get someone to step on the brake pedal while I open the valve, and allow the pedal back up after I close the valve. Or I could save a few minutes by using a check-valve, a one-way valve. Auto parts stores describe these as being a "one-man bleeder tool." They really are not "one-person" bleeder tools because you can't work the brake pedal and see any air bubbles in the tubing, at the same time. However they cost practically nothing and can save a few minutes of time off of the job.
Hey buddy had a question I’m running into problems I have a 1997 F150 XLT 4.6 L 4 x 4 and I bled the brakes system put new oil & seals on the brake calipers and drum brake pistons put a new brake master cylinder and brake booster and tested the ABS module by sticking a stick in the little hole and pressing on the brake and it does not move the stick supposedly that sign is good but my brakes are still spongy meaning it sinks in half way And driving at 25 miles an hour residence I stepped hard on the brakes and it takes about 1.5 or 2 seconds to come to a stop but I want my brakes to bite on the rotors and it’s not doing that is this normal or do I need to plug a scanner so it could auto bleed mode to complete the service so it could break hard? I heard this from a GMC Tech veteran who said that I might need to hook up scanner just like the GMC trucks. I hope u can help with good info. I want my truck To leave tread marks on the ground when I slam the brakes hard I want my brace to bite the rotors just like my Mazda 2002 but I don’t know where ABS is the Design to not do this.
This might seem a dumb question but I have put lots of air in my slave cylinder clutch line.. will this suck out the air I was silly enough to put in the line?
My man…. Just what I wanted to see someone doing it without taking the tires off. I think I can even reach through the wheel itself because of the spokes on my car. One question though… is it not better to start bleed at the farthest caliper because then it draws the remaining air to the ones ahead of it?
In your opinion. Do you think you would use this if you had a kid that needed some extra chores, or would you put the kid to work? It seems to be a bit better at evacuating the air while not going through as much brake fluid. Or maybe there was just a lot of air in the truck’s brake lines. Great Chanel BTW.
Great video but how does working from front to rear work any better than the traditional rear to front. Great to the point instructions. I think I'll get one on my commercial Auto Zone account
You Should ALWAYS!!! START From The B Lines furthes from the B. Master cyclinder. To avoid the issues like u had. NO fluid comlng out your driver side brakes system.
Should use the vacuum pump to suck out the old fluid from that master cylinder before adding new fluid it will keep you from pulling so much old fluid through the lines and will save you from wasting a lot of new brake fluid
You can remove most of the master cylinder but make sure to leave enough so it doesn't take air. You'll be bench bleeding master cylinder. Pull-out what you can safely and add new oil. Good luck
@@bostonbillyduchaney5655 only if you suck out all the old fluid and pump the brakes or have a line busted there will still be fluid in the lines because of the seals on the piston in the master cylinder so no worries about getting air in the lines
Will this “vacuum” bleeder tool works on older cars that has a proportioning valve? I have a 1978 olds cutlass that has a proportioning valve and I tried using those “pressure” bleeding tool and brake fluid wasn’t streaming out of the rear wheel cylinder.
There's a difference between pressure bleeding and vacuum bleeding. Pressure bleeding you are actually pushing the air through the line and out the master cylinder. Vacuum bleeding you are pulling the out the line through the bleeder. With a pressure bleeder, you have to have a container full of fluid so it pushes the fluid into the bleeder and the air out the master. Both ways you always want to have full fluid because if you run the fluid down you start getting air in the system and have to start over. You can also gravity bleed. Just keep the master full, crack the bleeder, and let the fluid run out until theres no more air and all clear/new fluid, then close the bleeder. No air enters the system unless you run the master dry, or press then release the brake pedal w the bleeder open. You can press the pedal down w the bleeder open, but you can not release the pedal until the bleeder is closed or it will suck air. But thats only if you're doing the 2 person way, which actually does work best because it forces the air out with much more pressure.
I have a tip for people following this video. Do not put your old fluid in a container that you are accustomed to using. For example, I drink caffeine-free diet coke. I should not have used one of those bottles to put my old fluid in. NOPE, I should not have done that. Fortunately, I did not swallow the brake fluid, but I've spent the last two hours rinsing out my mouth. It looked like coke and well . . .
I was doing it all wrong i sucked some into the pump the first time second time couldnt find the o ring to seal collections cup thus no suckie suckie guess its warranty time unless you know where i can get that special o ring

You Should ALWAYS!!! START From The B Lines furthes from the B. Master cyclinder. To avoid the issues like u had. NO fluid comlng out your driver side brakes system.
You gotta bleed the far right passenger side first, then the left driver side second, then the passenger driver side third, then the driver side.
Are you supposed to keep the top opened where the fluid goes into?
Should use the vacuum pump to suck out the old fluid from that master cylinder before adding new fluid it will keep you from pulling so much old fluid through the lines and will save you from wasting a lot of new brake fluid
You can remove most of the master cylinder but make sure to leave enough so it doesn't take air. You'll be bench bleeding master cylinder. Pull-out what you can safely and add new oil.

Will this “vacuum” bleeder tool works on older cars that has a proportioning valve? I have a 1978 olds cutlass that has a proportioning valve and I tried using those “pressure” bleeding tool and brake fluid wasn’t streaming out of the rear wheel cylinder.
There's a difference between pressure bleeding and vacuum bleeding. Pressure bleeding you are actually pushing the air through the line and out the master cylinder.

Sometimes the bleeder valve uses a 3/8 hex, sometimes a 10 mm.
