    I thought my situation was bad because my truck has over 122,000 miles, and I've never changed the fluid before. Thanks to your video, I am about to get it done myself. Awesome work!

    The correct bleed order according to Nissan is RP -> FD -> RD -> FP

    • @SacredHeart0520
      @SacredHeart0520 Год назад +7

      Furthest away from master cylinder first and then second furthest ect

    • @Chinoluis29
      @Chinoluis29 10 месяцев назад

      From the RP to the FD doesn’t sound logical. But Nissan always does diff. Than Honda

      Not just Honda, GM also notes furthest from the Cylinder, then next furthest, etc.

    Great video, well done. One question, how do you flush the ABS unit? The ABS is full of that old brake fluid and needs to be flushed with the rest of the old brake fluid.

    Do a power steering flush on a Frontier. Just learning how to work on my truck, since I dont have money for a mechanic. This vid was extremely helpful!

  • @dsonyay

    Excellent!!! For the type of driving you do, 100k plus miles on that old fluid is not really harmful. :)
    I’m gonna definitely try this method next time

    Very comprehensive video and verbal instruction. I am doing this to my truck today. Please Do More Videos. My Nissan Frontier is a 2002 XE 4 cyl with 105,000 miles. Parts are getting harder to obtain. Next project is front end steering mechanism and upper ball joints; all the rubber boots are cracked open around the full circumference due to age and there are no grease fitting or holes to add grease fittings, however there is no vibration when driving and alignment guy says it aligns just fine. Any thoughts on whether I should do or not do a replacement?

    • @1PITIFULDUDE
      @1PITIFULDUDE Год назад

      Use a ball joint needle and inject grease. Lots of videos on here regarding this.

    I did my 02 Mustang pretty much the same way. But I replaced my DOT3 with DOT4. I plan to replace the fluid in my 2014 Xterra with DOT4 also. Like you, I was lax in changing the fluid in both vehicles. I went 20 years and about 68,000 miles on the Mustang with the original brake fluid - it was quite dirty. DOT4 may be overkill but it works fine. And I don't normally use OEM fluids.

    if... you are changing brake lines and or the master cylinder..... the process is different.....1. disconnect the battery or abs module.... 2. go to right rear (you can use his method) bleed it....3. go to the left front.. bleed.. 4. left rear.. bleed 5. right front bleed 6. connect battery!

    Is it true that one should not pump all the way down on the brakes when bleeding to prevent damage to the brake booster seals? I was told this by a Mechanic. Also if Seals are bad in your brake booster and you press down all the way on your brakes little rust particles can get in?

    Man that was awesome thank you I'm going to try it do you keep fluid in the bottom of the bottle so no air gets introduced to the line through the caliper ?

  • @darlenedavis2256

    The easiest video on bleeding brakes. Please provide link in future on items you recommend. Sometimes it's just too hard to search for them. You had a truck with higher profile so you didn't have problem working without jacks. Not possible for those of us with little cars which are much closer to the ground. I'll have to think about solutions. I'm a young 78 year old woman and I'm due for clean fluid but dealer wants $250.00 and Firestone wants $125.00 for brake flush. I really could save some money but I don't or can't deal with jacks at this time. But great video anyway. I only wish I knew the brand of that brake bleeder bottle.

    brake fluid test strips? that used fluid wasn't "bad". I've seen darker on fewer miles. Pumping the brakes with the bleeder open; isn't that taboo? Did you just touch the pedal with an 1/8"-1/4" push; as anything more could possibly introduce air into the master cylinder?

    • @gman1185
      @gman1185 Год назад +2

      That's why he is using the special bottle. It's designed to not let air enter the system if used correctly. I always pump up the brakes a little then open the valve so there is a positive flow. Once the rubber tube is filled with fluid there is no way to introduce air.

    • @K03sport
      @K03sport Год назад

      @@gman1185 ...right. pump, pump, pump, then crack open the bleeder nipple. close, repeat. it looked like he was pumping w/the bleeder open to avoid back-and-forth.

    Can you tell me the size tubing inner diameter & where purchased? I have a 2011 Nissan Frontier going to bleed/ flush brake fluid . I know the bleeder valve is 10mm but went to find the correct tubing.
    Also, did the bottle come prepped with the hose?

    What stops air from going in when you depress the brake pedal? Specially when the bottle is empty.

    • @DIYMechanic57
      @DIYMechanic57  Месяц назад +1

      @diegopalomino1200 You need to have some fluid in the bottle to start the bleed. The bottle should not be empty or it may suck air into the system. Basically, on the first push of the brake pedal, you push all the air out of the tube in the bottle, and that creates a siphon between the bleeder nut and the bottle. This keeps a slight negative pressure on the brake line from that point and air should not be drawn back into the brake line. When you release the pedal, fluid is drawn from the reservoir in the engine bay and not back from the bottle.

  • @ERNESTO-h8e

    Thx. Why did you pour new fluid in the bottle?

    • @exvan3571
      @exvan3571 3 месяца назад

      You submerge the end of the tube in fluid so it doesn't suck air into the lines

      Most OEM brake fluid is made by the same suppliers of the parts store products, mabye save for some of the Euro manufacturers. Check the MSDS of the OE fluid to find it’s manufacturer. Work GM parts, last I checked the OE DOT3 fluid is rebranded from whoever manufactures Prestone these days, Union Carbide then Allied-Signal then Honeywell last I kept track

    Be careful with the clear turkey baster. Some types of clear plastic get destroyed by brake fluid. Ask me how I know this. To be safe, get the translucent white turkey baster. The color should be similar to the brake fluid bottle that you are using.

  • @brentp556
    @brentp556 8 месяцев назад

    I appreciate you making this video, but if you're going to make an instructional video please provide accurate information. There is no debate on the correct order. The Nissan factory service manual has the correct order. It is the only manual that should be followed. The reason for the order of RR, FL, RL, FR has to do with the split line system. It is in place so that if a brake line is damaged while driving, you still have 2 brakes available to stop. The Hayne's manual uses a lot of generic information that is not necessarily specific to your vehicle. The best part of the factory service manual, is that it can easily be accessed for free online. I understand that taking off the wheels take a bit of time, but it has some great benefits as well. You have more room to work, can check your pads, grease your pins, inspect other compenents, and rotate your tires at the same time for only a few extra minutes.

  • @pauljuliegiffen8928
    @pauljuliegiffen8928 4 месяца назад

    Brake fluid is the only fluid that is not mileage based in my opinion. It is moisture contamination and oil degradation over time. Somebody who did 100,000 miles over 10 years will have the same quality brake fluid as somebody doing 200,000 mile over the same time period.
