Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're supposed to start with the caliper furthest away from driver/master cylinder which would be 1st) passenger back, then move to driver back, then passenger front, then drivers front...
You are absolutely right, but for these newer Hondas, it is specified this way. I felt like I was committing a crime, since I am wired to start furthest from the master cylinder 😆
The order done here is the way Honda says to do it. If you're just bleeding (not changing the brake fluid) then they do recommend the order you specified. But for changing the brake fluid, what's shown here is the correct order.
thanks for the video, very clearly presented, how does this method of applying pressure at the master cylinder compare to the older method of using a vacuum pump at each brake’s bleeder? (and making sure the master doesn’t run dry)
I’ve switched over from the vacuum method, after air got into the lines once. It might have been user error lol, but the pressure method has been bullet-proof in my experience.
Hello, so at 2:41 after you emptied out the old brake fluid, you them refilled it, v correct? And then at 3:58, you then pumped more brake fluid onto the master cylinder, up to 10psi, is that right?
Yes! I realized later that I didn’t film that part of me removing the cap and refilling manually with fresh fluid. After it’s refilled, you can then start adding pressure 👍🏽
Do we need to use power bleeder meaning do we need to suck out all the old fluid from master cylinder before filling new one? I saw few videos where they just fill new fluid in master cylinder and bleed the fluid from caliper until clear fluid comes out. Also do we need to pressurize the tank?
You can risk the solvent/cleaner making its way into the brake lines. I would suggest picking up a new set instead and doing a replacement, as they are cheap and easy to find. If they are stuck, a little PB on the threads should be ok.
Here is the universal Motiv Power Bleeder kit amzn.to/42kc6XN
Any feedback on the universal kit? Ive seen mixed reviews
@@SetAside777 It's honestly hit and miss. I was using it before getting the honda adapter, and about 30% of the time, the universal cap would leak.

2011? Same sequence? I thought driver rear passenger rear passenger front n then driver front

Hi! Question: I have rusty brake nipples, should I soak it in BP/Brake Clean first? Will it hurt anything?
You can risk the solvent/cleaner making its way into the brake lines. I would suggest picking up a new set instead and doing a replacement, as they are cheap and easy to find.

Would you advice for a brake fluid change vs a fluid flush when copper leaves are beyond 300? Got a 2011 CRV
Nice one James.
Thank you!!! 🙏🏽
Same for 2011 Pilot ?
Yes, it is the same 👌🏽
how much pressure are you pumping too
I am putting about 10psi into the pressure bleeder.
what size O ring did you use?
Hi, which O ring are you referring to? If it’s the master cylinder cap, it actually came with those already installed.
