Get everything you need to do the job right at www.autozone.com
These "Old School" American Tutorials are so damn good.. All I wanted to know prior to purchasing one of these was if there was a one way check valve in the cap assembly.. This guy explained not only the bleeder assembly in detail but the entire bleed procedure in 12 minutes.. 🙌
Bruce was my auto mechanics teacher at beck area career center. Best teach ever!!!!
I bought this little gadget at my AutoZone and it worked like a bloomin' CHARM! FANTASTIC!
I did NOT do this "solo." I had the missus come out and press the brake pedal. I felt really sure that I was getting a good "bleed" because: 1) I could see the bubbles going through the clear hose, and 2) I had her pump the brake pedal until the brake fluid was clear.
I brought an empty plastic gallon jug and funnel to the car. Each time the little bottle filled up, I dumped it into the gallon bottle. MAKE SURE YOU WATCH THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR! I had to top it off after EACH wheel. As a matter of fact, when I did the first (farthest) wheel, I refilled the reservoir "mid-bleed."
Follow the directions on the video. You can do it!
Its called a "One Man" break bleeder. But since you got a woman to help. I guess you're still one manning it.
This comment really pumped me up to bleed some breaks. Especially the last sentence. I dont have a missus though. Can I borrow yours, David? I'll take good care of her and return her safely to you.
@@travism9339 😆😅
Yeah. I bought same kit too but with different brand and i was able to easily bleed the brakes alone with it without partner. However, it has been 3 years i haven't done any break repairs since then so i came back to refresh my mind how to use this tool even though i know that there is that valve which need to be opened but i didn't remember all the details though. Need to change brake hose soon so i need to bleed brakes too with this tool.
As a broke college student living in Washington state, this video just saved me alot of time and money!! thanks Bruce
Bruce Bonebrake was a mentor to myself back in the 90's, He is an automotive teacher in a school. I learned more from this man then from my father. Patience is everyghing.
Dont knock this man, he shows his trade tricks none of you brainiacks could ever think of.
Too bad he wasn't an English teacher.
OMGWTFLOL I loled, reflexive pronoun of peace, among other mistakes
Pretty harsh for a person that knows nothing about me.
absentee father ? Or .....
I took his class in highschool. Best teacher ever!!!!
Accidently I watched this video and voila - the same kit I just bought today. Many thanks for the help! Got my car's brakes working again.
This tool worked for me. Some tips: I had another person come out and pump the pedal though for me, because I want to make sure I could snuggly press the nozzle adapter on the valve on the bleeder screw. It also helped because as they pump the pedal, I can make sure there are no leaks elsewhere at the wheel. As someone else noted, the bottle needs to just be placed somewhere ABOVE the bleeder screw to force the air out correctly. Once the line in free of air bubbles, you're good to go.
do you need to fill the bottle with a little bit of brake fluid before bleeding?
@@utkarsh12 No it's supposed to be completely empty. If I remember correctly, the design of the valve on the bottle prevents air from getting sucked back into the brake nose.
I bought this DVD years ago, always thought "Bruce Bonebrake" was a hell of a name...
Bruce Bonebrake is pretty badass.
He was my teacher in auto mechanics in highschool. Best teacher ever!!!! Remotely setting off airbags in class was awesome!!!!!
I have the EXACT SAME bleeder bottle apparatus (bought from Auto Zone mind you) and it specifically says the bottle should be at an elevation higher than the bleed valve. Your video shows it below. I'm sure it is supposed to be above the bleeder valve so that the air bubbles will go up-and-away towards the bottle.
Ten four if not no air will be pushed out
Well he did it butt backwards it worked all that matters
One way check valve son
10 years later here's a reply from a certified mechanic 😆. The importance (taught in school) is that the bleed line is going up vertically from the valve so that fluid stays in the line at the valve rather than an air bubble, otherwise the air just gets sucked back into the caliper when you let off the brakes. He had the line from the valve going up and over the rotor which allowed for that fluid retention at the valve itself. The instructions I'm sure were simplified for the broader range of mechanical know how out there - it just easier to say "put the bottle up higher than the valve" and call it a day.
I wouldn’t trust auto zone, personally I take my business to O’Reilly
My favorite tool for bleeding my brakes! I use the needle nose tip that it comes with and insert it into the bleeder valve.
No, the lines are not concurrent, meaning; out of the master cylinder the fluid goes into a proportioning valve. This valve in turn routes the fluid out through tubes to each individual brake. Each brake line terminates at that particular caliper or cylinder. In other words, it doesn't recirculate, thus each brake must be bled independently.
great video
Tried the one bleeder just for compressing the caliper piston and it worked great. Gravity did most of the work.
I love the safety message at the end that says always wear your safety goggles, when the whole way through the video he is not wearing any!!
+Daniel Nugent He's wearing them when pouring the brake fluid...
Your not a professional, he is.
+Simon G. I would still like to be wearing glasses in case a hose came off. Actually yes I am a professional, I work in a large busy garage.
Daniel Nugent Sounds like you lack some confidence ???
The only glasses needed would be pouring the fluid. I'd wear them the whole time if I put them on but I couldn't care less if I didn't have them on.
I thought you had to put alittle brake fluid in the bottle, before you start pushing brake pedal?
It has a one way valve. A homemade one without a valve needs to have fluid in the bottle, and needs to be mounted higher than the bleeder screw.
I agree. The end of the hose should be submerged in brake fluid, otherwise you can pull air back into the system.
The downside is you can't see if there is air still coming out of a wheel. Sometimes it takes many presses, especially if you've replaced a caliper etc. Also forget the bleed order in this video, you 100% have to go with your individual car's bleed order. If you don't have a shop manual just google forums etc.
Great point made. Some cars are different, mine (7th gen Accords) goes DF, PF, PR, DR (driver front, passenger front, passenger rear, driver rear)
Yep - most single reservoir systems on old cars are done in the exact opposite order.
I have look at no less than 20 videos of the job and by far this is the best one. You didn't say the price or if the bleeder bottle is available at autozone. Thanks for sharing.
Great job and explanation. I never knew there was a one man bleeder tool !!! this will be my first time ever doin this. Thank you for the specifics Sir!!!
Same here, I went in one day to borrow a OBD reader and the guy told they didn't have one but he would read my codes with his personal tester for $20. The freaking tester is only $30 on the shelf behind the counter. From then on I started going to Napa or O'reilly.
You don't need to buy this kit, a glass jar & the right size clear tube to suit your bleeder nipple will do.Matters not if the jar is on the floor of your garage because as you pump the pedal the bubbles will disappear into the jar regardless if its above or below the nipple.Just ask an Aussie.
I have a similar model but thanks to your information the procedure is the same.
The one I got has a lot weaker magnet than I thought it would be. Granted the bottle is probably only 3 ounces, but seems like it could easily get weaker over time and fall off when it gets full.
Why is this not recommended for cars without anti lock brakes. I tried it on mine and it worked?
It was shown for a brake system without antilock brakes. When you replace a master cylinder or let a reservoir run dry in a brake system with antilock brakes, it'll introduce air into the ABS module. Regular bleeding doesn't work because you need a specific scan tool to bleed the ABS module. Hope this helps.
Just snagged one of these today, no more squishy brakes!
The magnet isn't actually strong enough to hold up the bottle and there is no check valve that only allows the air in and not back out again. It is pretty much, as ppl say, a plastic bottle and some hoses. You need to put some fluid in the bottom of the bottle and you need to have the bottle elevated above the bleeder screw .
The fluid goes in the bottle when you press the brake pedal and the bleeder screw is already at the top of the system.
Damn it man. The bottle goes above the nipple to allow air to flow away from the nipple
Good point, thanks for sharing!
Ah unfortunately brake lines DO NOT run concurrent. Almost all cars now have a dual piston master cylinder, which means there are actually 2 separate lines which run in a diagonal pattern across your car. (Driver to pass-rear, pass to driver-rear). Dual piston master cylinders were implemented so that if one of your lines were to rip/fail, you would still have two wheels with braking capabilities. So the answer to your question would be no, you would only be bleeding half of your fluid. GL ^^
What a great video. Thank you and hello from the UK
Thanks, Tanny!
great information
+1, this helped a lot on my fiesta...many thanks
This is a very informative channel. Thanks you
That's awesome, thanks for the informative video, will be good to get this done.
yes u do. cause u have to disconnect the brake line which will drain fluid and allow in in the system. if u just replace pads u dont have to.
What if I'm only changing the front driver side caliber do I still need to bleed all the breaks
Yes, any time a component/line has a leak or is opened.
Came to see what the extra parts I got in my kit. Looks like they were just that, extra parts.
hi you are a great and good man with a very intelligent brain that will teach me great things .
Thanks man, even it works without pumping the break
I was blowing air through the supplied gadgets to find the check valve. However, it should work fine.
They have not been using this process since 1920. 4 wheel hydraulic brakes came out in 1923 on the
Duesenberg and 1924 on Chrysler.
THANKS BRUCE!
I can’t get it to secure onto the bleeder valve any help ?
I like how he pronounces "reservoir" as "RA-servoir".
If I do both front brake hoses will I need to bleed it twice?
Thanks Bruce
okay see now ive done this but it seems to still not work. but however when the cars off the pedal is rock hard once its on though the pedal is straight to the floor. tried bleeding the master cylinder and brakes numerous times. maybe the brake booster? vaccum? help please!
do you have any leaks? it sounds like something is leaking.
Video was very helpful. Thanks.
BEWARE: there is NO CHECK VALVE in the lid, bottle, tubes, adapters, or anywhere else. So while bleeding, every time you lift your brake pedal, some of the contaminants will go back into your caliper.
This is the only feature that would make this kit worthwhile.
BEWARE: the guy in the video mentioned it has a check valve.
Can confirm there is definitely no check valve in this kit
I remember this one, it's from season 2, episode 7: "You Will Bleed Tonight"
🤣🤣
Although this instruction is useful for one type of vehicle, it is not applicable to all. Many vehicles have different bleeding sequences. So, please look up the correct bleeding sequence for the particular vehicle you may be servicing.
Your video shows a much larger tube than the kit comes with. The tubes that come with the kit are far to small to work. The tube needs to be 1/4" not 1/8". Why do they provide such a tiny tube? Are we missing something?
Vehicles made all over the world, not all are the same. They should include adapters though.
Where do you dump your fluid?
on my weeds behind the shed
If the tube has a check valve in it, what difference does it make?
why the bottle is so small?it does not change all the brake fluid,there is a larger bottle?
+Антип Петрович Just use the lid part with the check valve inside it, and replace the short outlet hose with a longer one and trail into a larger bottle or jar
I have always used the method of bleeding from furthers to closest order from the Master Cylinder...but i heard this is not the case if you have ABS which most vehicles do these days. So then the above method would be used except from the ABS module vs the MC... anyone ever confirm if it matters or not?
Yes it matters. In fact it says so in the video. For example some you just turn ignition on and the system does the pumping when you open a bleed valve.
VTEC just kicked in yo.
It's $8. I just bought on earlier
is there something specific about procedure? I heard LR to FL to RR to FR. But this video says LR to RR to FL to FR. There's nothing in my owners or service manual about that. I bled my brakes a while back when repairing some lines and I just haven't been satisfied with how good the brakes are, and I'd like to see if I missed something in fully bleeding the brakes.
5 pumps per corner will suffice?
Good how to vid, however "only applies to brakes without ABS" vid is dated 9 years old at this point. Based on non anti-lock brakes, vid is more appropriate for the 1990's.
autozone is neighborhood spot thanks for the video
Thanks for sharing brother ❤👍
Always remember to wear your safety glasses!
No gloves? Bold move.
I know right. Safety glasses but no gloves when dealing with a corrosive substance? lol
Does the check valve work from stopping reverse flow of fluid ?
suppose to
when bleeding the air out of the brake system, you don't need new brake fluid right?
Well no but you may as well replace the fluid if its old.
When you are purging the air, you are also purging brake fluid, so yes, you may need to add brake fluid if you end up pumping quite a bit out to get all the air out. Brake fluid should probably be completely changed every 2-4 years anyway.
New fluid
Old absorbed water after 1yr
I got a question. If your changing the back calipers do you have to bleed all 4 sides?
Hi
can you pleas advice me for Mitsubishi pajero 2002 model ,creek creek sound is coming from ABS motor ,while ignition switch is ON position.
Thanks Bruce with the juice!
Thanks for the vid, very well explained.
What about an ABS system
Nicely done
Ok this is totally not wat I replied on...
Dot 4. Just remember dot 5 is a completely different fluid and cant be mixed with dot 4 or 5. But dot 3 and 4 can be mixed.
And 5.1 can be mixed. But not Dot 5, like you say!
my car says dot 3 or 4.. what one is better to use?
Disappointment---this is for non-ABS brakes. Any brake bleeding videos on cars equipped with ABS brakes?
Makes no difference abs or non abs,
It will make a difference with some brake bleeders, but not this one, where you are pumping the brake pedal.
Hi, what is the whole purpose of the brake bleed? If I only want to compress the wheel cylinder so I can put the drum brake back on is this what I do?
depends if u have a spongy brake pedal then bleed it
It's to remove air bubbles from the brake lines. It's also used to change the entire fluid if desired.
2 years late, but you shouldn't need to compress wheel cylinders to put a drum back on. Adjust the adjuster in some and a drum should slide on. If it doesn't you did something else out of order.
1:52 I bought this brake bleeder, same brand, and it doesn´t have a check valve.
Hello Jaime and Paul. Do you bleed your brake system with this bottle? Does it work? I buyed this bleeder at autozone and it doesn't have a check valve like you describe.
@@ulises5319 It doesn´t work. It´s a fraud. I bought a very expensive magnet. Without the check valve it´s only a plastic bottle.
@@jagosa I appreciate your feedback. I will ask if autozone can give my money back. Thank you Jaime, regards.
The hoses do not fit on a 09 tacoma fyi
Lol You guys tried charging me 10 dollars to use your obd2 scanner in front of your own store. I went a mile down the road to Advance Auto and asked them. They said "Of course here you are sir". With a quick exchange of my I.D for collateral which I got back as soon as I returned it. I wonder how much money you guys lose because of this. If you guys would have let me use it you would have had the money for the EGR valve I purchased lol.
Its free now bro
John Leija deadass and u don’t even have to give us ur id smh
Gracias por los videos y si fueran en espanol selos agredecere mucho
Good video.👍👍👍👍👍
Bruce Bonebrake? That sounds kinda like Dirk Diggler...
Only one side or every tire has to due
Will this work for bleeding clutch too
Aren't you supposed to close the bleeder valve once you have to floor then pump brake?
Does this process work on ABS brakes?
It can but probably not all ABS systems are designed the same so certain procedures may need to be used. Some cars will probably have to go to a dealer for the average person that doesn't know their way around a car or doesn't know how to manually control electronics.
That tiny bottle doesn't seem to have a big enough capacity to bleed a brake caliper or brake line. They should've designed a larger bottle for the job.
They have a bigger one.
good stuff
Spray it on your garden, great fertilizer.
I bought this product with my rewards card. I should have picked up some dot three with the other 9 dollars
They wasn't bleeding brakes before they had hydraulic brakes.
In 1920 they were using mechanical brakes.
What are you talking about? Who doesn't use what process? The beleeding process?
What type of hose should I use to connect to the brake bleed valve, I want size hose and where to maybe get it "Please Help"
I correct myself: RR to LR to FR to FL
1 man bleeder kit? lol in this case there no bubbles oviously
good video's
Store it in your refrigerator.
the hose is too small to even go onto the bleeder is there any thing I can do? gbody cutlass
Put the hose in hot water so it expands and it should go on
Or use a hair dryer to warm it up, or buy an adaptor and a larger diameter hose.
yes!
Easiest way by far
Should wear gloves not glasses..
Quality Video :)
