I've been wrenching on my own vehicles for more than 40 years. I always replace the fluid in the reservoir before I bleed the brakes. The whole point is to put fresh brake fluid through the lines. Empty the reservoir with a large syringe or turkey baster, and fill it with brand new fluid. Then you bleed your brakes.
Thank you man. I was wondering too in this vid why would there still be old brake fluid in the system. Now that you explained more i will definitely do that. Thanks!
@@angelcampa8765 It hopefully goes without needing to be said, but just don't press the brake pedal before you refill the reservoir. You will have a bad day.
Just recently had to do a brake job on my Silverado alone. Replaced calipers and put speed bleeders on the calipers and bled the front brakes without anyone's help. So brake bleeding can be done alone. These can be found at most auto parts stores.
GMC dealership has failed to replace TSB item on my 2015 Sierra with just 24k miles. Now instead of replacing the vacuum assembly they want to charge me $900 for a new master cylinder. I will tell them to stick it and by an 80 dollar part and replace it myself. Bleeding brakes was always a mystery to me but I will follow your video.
I bought that kit with that exact same Bottle. I Strongly recommend a bigger bottle and poke a hole some where up top Builds up Pressure and it will shoot the tubing off
Bleeding brakes still has the aura of a mystical art. My stepson bought a kit which allowed him to flush the entire system on my '13 Escalade. That's a precautionary move because over time brake fluid absorbs moisture. The brake pedal did have a nice factory-fresh feel to it after the system was flushed.
Do you mind sharing the kit or link? So I can look it up? Please
Always good measure to start bleeding from the farthest point from master cylinder and remove all the break fluid be4 hand top off
This technique worked perfectly for me thank you very much
Thank you. Doing this tomorrow because mine are spongy. Hope it fixes it.
There may also be a recall out, so you might want to check
I thought this was a great refresher video for me! Thanks for taking the time to do this.
Excellent I have a GM Escalade so I have to subscribe to learn how to do everything on my own please explain tools you use size etc and thank you nice job
I accidentally let the reservoir go dry during a caliper change i refilled the resivoir and now i have spongy brakes, I've bled the heck out of it but no improvement, i think i got air in the ABS module.
Nice, a husband wife mechanical team. I want a wife that will help me like Danny’s wife. She helped helped him without the fuss and crap and saying stuff like “ the guy at auto zone said you can get a brake job in a can”, “ I’m hungry” “I’m hot” “I’m cold” “theres a misquote in the truck” “my dad takes his car to middas “ “let me get my makeup on” and “wait wait wait the cat wants to help us”
Keep up the harmonious work you two.
you all prolly dont care but does anyone know a tool to log back into an instagram account..?
I was stupid forgot my login password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me.
@Yusuf Duncan Instablaster ;)
@Kylo Curtis I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im trying it out now.
Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Kylo Curtis it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thanks so much, you really help me out!
@Yusuf Duncan Happy to help :D
Thanks again Danny for saving my DIY butt again
I'm sorry, were you using a radio or something? Normally you're supposed to be yelling at the brake operator.
You ever yell at your wife while trying to get her to do truck stuff? Lol..
Good to know. I am checking out your videos 📹
Great video thanks man!
I just bleed mine I hear air flow out the passenger side and rear passenger side it was a fast rush of air prior to fluid flow I was scared but not surprised because my brakes go to the floor
Thanks great video.
Great video. Just what i needed. Thank you!
now i know where to bleed my brakes i thought you had to unscrew your brake line good thing i watched this vid i loosened my brake line good thing i didn"t remove the line
Lmao
That's wtf I just did because it's Ina completely different position from the front. 😂
💥The bottle that you are using is very small and you filled it halfway up. As you are pumping the brakes and opening the bleeder is the bottle getting filled up.??
💥Actually a new question if you don’t mind. I understand the basic philosophy here. The hose that you attached already has air in it and you are only momentarily opening the bleeder as the pedal is being pushed and closing the bleeder before the pedal is let up otherwise it will suck air back in.
Why does the hose have to sit in brake fluid in the bottle if you’re closing the bleeder before anything from the hose is sucked backwards??
I think the bottle is just to catch overflow from the hose and I could use any old plastic bottle to do that. Just stick the hose in it and the bottle could be empty to start. What am I missing with the hose being submerged in brake fluid.??
Yes, by keeping a line submerged in the fluid it helps from air getting sucked back in. You technically could open it to spray out air and close the line but it is very corrosive and more bad for your eyes.
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage But the tubing already has air in at the bottom.
Great detail! Thank you!!!!
This is great but how is everybody doing this on newer vehicles with the electric IBC's? I just found a nice vacuum tool for bleeding brakes but now with the electric IBC's, you aren't supposed to use vacuum as IBC's don't use vacuum.
Hello Sr., do you now when is necessary a scanner to bleed brakes?, I have to replace brake fluid in a 2010 Tahoe but I'm not sure if I need the scanner to do it, thanks for your help sr.!!
Make sure the pedal doesn’t go all the way down because it will suck up air
Thanks
Its easier when stuff is new not when its rusty
Thank you for this video was a lot of help
That drop was so gentle!
This video came up and I just sat here and watched it, even though I know how to bleed brakes lol I’ll tell you why, your voice is very calming 😅 I may look through the rest of your videos I may learn something new 😊
I have a 03 Tahoe that I just replaced the rear brake line so I had been looking up different ways to do that without lifting the frame or lowering the gas tank. So maybe that’s why your video showed up in my feed. 😊
Your video is very informative and easy to follow
Oh I was going to say, that little hose with the bottle to bleed brakes is great isn’t it? I use a water bottle with a hole in the lid so no air can get through. Then I cut a piece of the tubing for an old asthma machine. The little piece on the end of the tubing that fits to the asthma machine, happens to fit perfectly on the bleeder lol😅 I’ve bled my brakes by myself a couple times now using that method.
Quality video🙏
Thank you I'm doing mine now thank you
What about all the fluid in the ABS system?
That’s why it’s important not to let the fluid level drop in the master cylinder so no air gets into the system
I thought start at right rear wheel?
I was told to not pump brake peddle.
And use a bleed scan tool.
Arlon Meranden Watch at 1:40 where I explain to start as far away from the brake master cylinder, which is the passenger side, rear.
The video demonstrates a typical brake bleed procedure. If you’re using a pressurized pump tool make sure to read its instructions. You need to either pressurize the system by pumping and holding the brakes or using a system that pressurizes the lines
What if it has an ABS module. Same process?
I have a 2007 Tahoe that I purchased. After changing the pads, the back brake calipers are not releasing all the way, causing them to drag heavily. I've changed the rubber lines and the issue is better, but still present. Would you suggest bleeding the system dry, and refilling with fresh fluid? Thanking you in advance.
It’s probably needing grease on the sliding pins
Thanks, I'll try that.
Nice
How about bleeding the ABS module?
Is it me, or is there a dent in the passenger front wheel? I hope that owner of the vehicle was aware of it, maybe even had it repaired.
I don’t believe it was dented, but I did have a crack th-cam.com/video/Frnjls6Q7to/w-d-xo.htmlsi=y0FAZqP7Y4DdqD4q
I have two Chevy vehicles that I put brake lines and calipers on . Both vehicles brakes work fine until they come to a stop but then the pedal goes down and it grunts . Does this have anything to do with antilock brakes? I never had a problem with brakes back before anti brakes
Great video.quick question,what was the size of the tube used and is a scan tool necessarily important for doing the brake bleed on GM big SUV
You won’t need a scan tool. Sorry, i’m not sure on the size. The kit came with a few tubes so if you get a brake bleeding one you will likely have what you need. I even had to use some vacuum hose. I’ll try to find out what size it was
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage . dont need a abs scan tool ? Huh. Every youtube says so.
Arlon Meranden It depends on the situation. In my case it was not needed. You’re replacing an abs unit or have a ton of air in the system it may be a possibility.
@@2Jeezuzisreal Depending on which corner you're on - jack the truck up just high enough that air bubbles travel UP toward the bleeder. You can use your brake fluid reservoir as a "bubble level".
This is old use to watch and help my dad do this on all his cars
2:15 he meant "won't allow AIR to go back..."
Ifs there a circumstance where you want to change all the fluid in the reservoir & lines?
Once it’s old or dirty. Keep adding fluid so it does not induce air, and keep pumping the old fluid out
I did it how you told how you showed but I still have a soft pedal and only a half pedal can you tell me what else I need to do thank you very much
There is a recall out on them for “excessive effort on pedal” so I would call your dealership to see if yours is included and can be fixed under the recall (should be free)
I keep pushing all the way down on my break pedel when I try to stop what does that mean when I try to stop it keeps rolling on my 2006 GMC Yukon Denali xl
heather moore There is either air in the lines or the brake master cylinder itself (where you pour the fluid in) could have a bad seal and is not pressurizing the lines
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage my mechanic said it might be my cailbers are going bad could that happens to
heather moore It’s possible the seals around the pistons on the calipers or even the lines at the calipers have a leak. You will want to look for any brake fluid leaks in the places shown in the video. You can also remove the calipers and pads and see if the piston that squeezes them shows any signs of trouble
heather moore th-cam.com/video/wu5tKlDDt8A/w-d-xo.html
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage I did see break fluid leaking under the ground
I've never done this what am I risking
You could induce more air into the system and have the brakes not work properly, or get a abs light. Perform at your own risk, and preferably with someone who knows and had done it before.
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage thanks
I have a 2004 Escalade. I replaced about 12” of brake line coming out of the ABS going to the right rear and left rear due to a corrosion leak in the line. We had to remove the entire ABS to repair them. We are now bleeding g the brakes and it seems no more air is coming out but the peddle is not as hard as it was. Some people are saying to crack the nuts going to the ABS which is a nightmare, especially the top ones… no room to fit the wrench and some people saying something about a scan tool. Do I really need to do one or both of those or just keep bleeding at the calipers?
You should only have to bleed the line that was broken. There will be a lot of air that needs to come out, just make sure your bottle is above the caliper.
How did it turn out?
I bled them one more time and the breaks were great! Thanks
What line did you add to the bleeder screw?
I have a question to do this and pumping the brake pedal. Do I need to have the engine running?
My opinion is No. It may even cause a check engine light or problem with the vacuum system.
What size hose did you use. ?
probably a stupid question but there is nothing wrong with the old fluid right? what should I do with it?
The old fluid is contaminated with moisture or is just old so I put it in a sealed bottle and take it to autozone or oriellys and check if they take it and if not just toss it in the trash?
Did you turn key on only?
What is the purpose of having fluid in the bottle prior to the bleed?
Stan Lindsey It helps with siphoning
Asking because I have a 2008 tahoe I changed 3 calipers and blead them afterwards but the pedal goes to the floor then I have to let it up before I hit the pedal again then it grabs. But I had the truck running when I blead it
If the fluid was low when pumping it will suck air into the system. Especially with it running it will multiply the effect. I would bleed them again with the car off, make sure it has enough fluid in the reservoir that it’s not sucking more air in. Bleed from the farthest wheel away from the reservoir first and work your way closer
3 calipers? Should have went ahead and changed out the fourth. The other three new ones could cause braking problems for the weaker fourth caliper. Blown seals and or weak clamping force.
I have the same truck but the 2013 model year, would it be the same process??
Yes, I do believe it’s the same. Has been on all cars I’ve done
Should I add brake fluid to the new calipers before assembling them back on and then bleed?
No install them and then bleed the system.
You can bench bleed the MC. You can't bench bleed calipers or wheel cylinders
You can do this by yourself as well
If you have the right tools
Do you have to turn engine on to provide vacuum to booster? If not how you able to pump the pedal without vacuum?
It is vacuum assisted while driving, without your pumping it manually. It appears to work better with the car not running so no codes come up. If you have remote start, don’t touch the brake and hold the ignition key down for 10 seconds and it will go to a accessory mode without starting the vehicle
My truck started smoking after changing one of my my calipers
Replace both calipers. Differences in wear can cause problems. You may have a weak MC return spring.
Do you bleed the brakes with the ignition key on or off?
off
The bottle that you use is enough for 4 wheel?
If you are only bleeding air, it can be. Empty it each time you move to a new wheel.
Should master cylinder be left open?
I like the cap on the master cylinder for compression, but make sure the fluid level does not drop to índice more air
I took my calipers right off, do I need the pump?
You only need to bleed the brakes if you removed the line and fluid came out
Do I need to do this after changing the master cylinder? Thank you!!!!
Yes.
Should bench bleed the master cylinder first right?
What about the abs pistons?
As long as you don't run the MC dry, you should be ok. ASSUMING YOU had a firm pedal before you started bleeding. You are bleeding down stream of the ABS.
Which jack do you use for the yukon? I need to get another jack for my 18 suburban. Great video btw
its dot 4 on electric jeez
Hey did you have it running when she was pumping the brake?
No, just on accessory
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage Can you do it with the key in the off position, or,must it be on accessory?
@@michellejohn695 It should be fine with the key off as well. It just shouldn't be running or it will be power/vacuum assisted
You don't need a scan tool on this to bleed? I know some Chevys require a tech 2
This one didn’t. Maybe for a more involved job
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage
I replaced the caliper on our vehicle (2012 Yukon Denali) drivers fronts and the brake light, abs and traction control light are on ever since. Trying to figure it out. Thought maybe I didn't bleed it the best, but it feels fine.
isnt the passenger side line further away then the drivers side rear ? Im pretty sure its passenger rear , passenger front , driver rear , driver front
I think this depends if you have an Abs system..there are other videos that explain how to tell which wheel is furthest away depending on how the brake lines are routed.
Right rear, left rear,right front, left front.
Got a few questions. I started to bleed my brakes on my 1997 GMC Yukon. I began with the the tire on the rear right first and hadn't gotten any significant air until I reached the front passenger side tire.(im doing this all under the truck with the tire on, I didn't use a jack) The first thing i noticed is that the rubber grommet was missing and then I realized break fluid was was leaking all down the bottom of the tire and some even accumulating on the ground. It didn't appear to be coming from the bleed valve, but what do I know? It looked to be more saturated and possibly coming from further down the caliper than the bleed valve, so I looked and couldn't find any obvious source of the leak; given what was available for me to see from under the car with everything still attached. So here's my questions. Is the rubber grommet necessary? Does the lack of one create any problems? Any idea where the the brake fluid might be coming from? I'd like to get everything fixed without having to spend any more money like buying a whole new caliper to replace the old one. If you have an idea of what the problem is from what I've told you is there a simpler, least costly, not too high labor fix? Thank you in advance! I'd really appreciate a response:)
Probably the actual valve you turn when bleeding. The cap is only to keep dirt out, but the bleed screw is what seals it.
The brake caliper may be leaking. The caliper pucks have O rings around them to seal in the brake fluid in. If they deteriorate or break then they leak……. a lot.
And remember, don't open any door when car is quartered on a jack.
Whats the little bottle for?
It siphons the brake fluid which is corrosive do you don’t want it spilling
Does she pump the brakes with car on or off
Not ignition on but before turning it on?
either should be fine as long as the car is not running
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage ok thank you
Can't get fluid to the rear wheels, does the key need to be in the on position and in drive to open the solenoids??
@@donaldwhite396 you may have alot of air trapped, I think a similar thing happened to me, just keep pumping. Did you replace any brake calipers without filling them with brake oil before mounting them?
I'm trying to find a wife so I can finish this job
Has anyone noticed this guy talks kind of like Mr Rogers.
Thanks you so much my teacher 🙏🤙
What if the bleeder screw is stripped?
You can use a bolt biter to remove it and then replace it th-cam.com/video/wdtxVKHjdwk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=_oaJpO5Fs7T4JinN
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage ok thank you any recommendations on buying a set asap and not have to wait for delivery?
What if after bleeding the brakes still aren't working right? I already put on new pads an bled but its still not braking properly.
@@segoviagarza360 With brakes, be sure to have it professionally diagnosed if the simple things have not worked. It may also require a special tool from a dealership (or even electronic calibration) if it’s still not working.
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage thank you i believe the brake booster is bad there's a hissing sound when i brake and i also have codes on now po174& po171 .
