- Awesome - Homemade car brake bleeder -- Brake Flush -- Free and you can do it one person . Works brilliantly for a free diy project. All you need is a spray bottle and some 1/4 or 6mm clear plastic tubing. You will need to make a connection with the suction pipe from your sprayer into the 1/4 tubing. This can be done with teflon tape or a few inches of 1/8 rubber tubing. If you cant get a tight fit hot glue works well. Once the sprayer is connected to your hose all you need do is open the bleed screw and push on your plastic tubing. Add some brake fluid and start pumping. Cheers Gerry

Awesome Car Brake bleeder 2020 ... Clearer Video ....th-cam.com/video/zvyjS91DWWU/w-d-xo.html Cheers Gerry
Bonjour. Merci pour la technique. Mon liquide sort à peine, environ 10cm. Il ne veut pas remonter tous le tuyau. Du coup je fermais à chaque fois pour pouvoir retirer le liquide.
Papa sait que je suis entrain de faire cette purge mais il n'a pas vu comment je la fesais. Il n'est pas curieux donc il ne saura pas.
Se serait pas plus simple de se mettre sous la voiture au lieu de retirer les roues. J'ai pas assez de place sinon j'aurais fais de cette manière.
30 years working on cars and I never thought of this. I can't wait to do my next brake job.
Thanks Joseph. If my wife was around to help with the brakes I would have just pumped them as usual. I am not a mechanic but work with tools all the time. Thanks for commenting Cheers Gerry👍
I came up with this over 40 years ago when i first started working on cars.
@@d1specdrifter so your video must be found somewhere on beta or VHS?
@@highspeedenthusiast6628 ask your mom ,she would know where the video is, when she filmed it of me.lmfao.just be sure to ask for the car video we made,not the others.hahahahaha
doesnt work fool
I like how TH-cam like knows your life and recommends a video of something your doing. But right after you've done it. In particular just did a brake job yesterday and today it shows me this brilliant idea.
Man I don't know if you came up with this on your own or whatever but you deserve a Nobel peace prize for this! Lol. Amazing
Tried this myself, worked FLAWLESSLY! I followed another commenter's advice and cracked the fluid reservoir cap as well. Thank you!!
That's great. I am happy it worked for you McSpankyWeiner Johnston. For such a simple idea it's very effective and totally free. Thanks for commenting Cheers Gerry👍
I am super impressed, I have been a mechanic for 47+ years, I have owned my own repair shop and have gone and bought all kids of vacuum pumps so one person can do the job, and never once did I ever think to try this, very,very smart, I'd like to see what other tricks this guy has up his sleeve.
...most or all the vacuum pumps aren't worth a crap either...
Very clever. I should of watched this video half hour ago as I just bled my brakes with my wife pumping the pedal. Your invention is terrific
Hi Nick. Great to see you are on talking terms with your better half 😂 Thanks for taking the time to comment. Cheers Gerry 👍
No need for expensive brake tools with this tip. One man job done now ...
You saved my bacon getting trapped air out of a stubborn clutch with a really inaccessible bleed nipple. The two person method was painfully slow and didn't work well enough. Using your method let me pull about 300ml through the system in 5min. No more air bubbles and much better clutch bite point. This is going to be my standard method now, thank you.
Hi Aidan. Great that it worked for you. It really is a cheap fix. Thanks for taking the time to post a comment Much appreciated Cheers Gerry👍
I wouldn't have thought a spray bottle head would be strong enough. That's brilliant!
Hi The Mid Engined Legend. Years ago I used a fuel pump off an old ford and hand cranked it and it worked well, I t wasn't a big jump to the Spray Bottle but it certainly makes lots of vacuum. Free to try too which is great 😀 Thanks for taking the time to comment Cheers Gerry
I took an old 12v tire pump for car tires and JB welded an inlet tube where it sucks in air and connect it to a catch jar with an input and output. Put it on the nipple, plug in the tire pump and watch the catch jar as you open the bleeder and fluid will flow. Easy and powerful.
Hi Rigid Wing. That was a cool idea to create vacuum. I have just remade this video but didn't manage to cure the bubble problem Thanks for commenting 😀 Cheers Gerry
This man deserves a Nobel prize
you need like a billion likes for this, you sir are my hero
Come on TH-cam. Why don't you put this in my recommendation of last night.
This is brilliant and simple.
Thanks for sharing.
Brother you better trademark those genius idea 😂 wow I can’t believe how Simple and amazing this is
What a great idea! Over the years I have found that 99.9% of the time, all I need to do is gravity bleed the system. This looks great for the rare time the gravity flow won't start. Thanks!
Hi Saab Rech. When all you have to do is open the bleed nipple and let the fluid flow it's great but like you say for the times it's being stubborn this is a great little setup and free too.😀 Thanks for commenting Cheers Gerry👍
I bought a small vacuum pump at a thrift store for cheap and I used it on my last brake bleed and it worked great. But your idea is brilliant to say the least. When my vacuum pump quits I’m gonna try your idea. Again I 👏👏👏👏you.
I designed one of those one man "bottle" bleeders over 30 years ago... But you have definitely improved on that idea!
2 tips to make it work better
#1 keep an eye on the reservoir level so it doesn't get too low.
#2 keep the tubing above the brakes so you don't create air bubble back bleed from the loose bleeder valve.
👍👍👍👍👍 5 thumbs up to you!
The tiny bubbles going up are coming from the threads on the valve
That is bloody brilliant. It seems to work better than my commercial bleeder. Thanks. Good Luck, Rick
Hi Rick. I know it looks like it might be a scam but it really works great. Thanks for commenting Cheers Gerry
@@GerrysDiy I guess that I misused the British slang. I really think that it is a great idea. I always had my wife to push on the brake pedal for 39 years but she died. Last year I had to buy one of those commercial bleeders which I am not happy with. I could have saved $30 with your idea. BTW, I am an old geezer who has been working on cars since 1967. Good Luck, Rick
Brilliant idea. I can’t see how in the hell anybody can give a thumbs down to this but I suppose somebody found something they don’t like about it. I guess they’ve never had to try to bleed brakes alone before😪
The Nobel Prize should be awarded to you! Thank you sir wow
Cheers Gerry, I love these little tricks! Brakes was a job I was dreading, now I'm looking forward to it.
There should be a 'Love' button.
You know I just took delivery of a power bleeder that was $60. Still in the sealed box. Love this idea. So many of those pumps under any sink. Fantastic
Fantastic use of the stuff laying around! Saved me hundred dollars in flush tools!
Glad to hear it! Thanks for commenting Cheers Gerry 👍👍
I’ve just done this - it’s brilliant ! Thank you Gerry !
Bloody Brilliant ! I would like to suggest just little addition to that kit. A small one way check valve check valve! From the brake bleed, use a 1"/25mm hose, then the check and then as long a hose as you need to the stray trigger.
The trigger has it's own stop valve and the check valve will prevent fluid from being drained out of the hose when disconnecting from the bleed screw. At least a very minimum amount of fluid of which a rag will catch. At least, if you drop the hose or lay it down, it won't leak all over the place!
Ohhh and by the way, make sure you top up that fluid in the reservoir before you start and keep an eye on it and keep topping up!!!!
Cheers
That's a wonderful idea, I'm a DIY and i really had problems whenever i work on my car brakes, thanks a million Sir 👍
I put a like to this video before I watch it .
Thanks 👍
Nice Tip Gerry Eric The Car Guy has used something simular for years but never explained the workings
thanks for doing that for us
Tony
He always used an old soda bottle with a tube ran through the cap. Then pumped the pedal himself
It's simple but millions worth idea, you're the man, thanks jerry
Thanks for commenting Cheers Gerry
This is a fantastic idea, another method is put a piece of tube over the open bleeder then put it in an old bottle of brake fluid then just pump the brakes, no need to open and close the bleeder. It works great. Also a tie wrap around the hose stops leaks.
Thanks for the idea
Was doing a full brake pipe replace, have a vacuum pump which lent to friend, (was stuck )looked on TH-cam found your video made one up , worked a treat ,thanks mate 👍
Absolutely amazing! What a simple, yet obvious way to do it. Nice one, thanks!
Sir, great simple idea , awesome
Brilliant. Put a little grease around the threads to prevent air too.
Hi Dictum Factum Good advice Thanks for commenting 👍
I was thinking never seize
Ptfe plumbers tape is best 👍
I would use bubble gum, peppermint, spearmint , wintergreen , which ever you fancy .
teflon tape my guy
this is solid technique and can be made in minutes as needed for zero cost .. good tech
Hi Griffon 327 Free is good too and nearly everyone has at least one of these around. Thanks for commenting Cheers Gerry
Man... why I never thought of this... you're the man
I didn't read all the comments. Try Teflon tape on the threads. And janitorial supply will have a high capacity sprayer for rear brakes. Sometimes the bleeder is blocked, necessary to remove and drill out rust blockage. But great hack! Now u don't need to buy another mityvac gizmo for $35! Cheers!!!
Hi CORVAIRWILD Thanks for the suggestion Cheers Gerry👍
This is what I call REAL help for the common man. Thank You, and God Bless.
Hi Davey It's just a simple little setup but works great. A spray pump with an adjustable nozzle would be better as you dont have to atomise the brake fluid when sprayed. Free and the possibilities of recycling the sprayer off an old bottle of something are great too. Thanks for commenting Cheers Gerry 👍
Yes, imagine every garage and DIY mechanic keeping a sprayer in their toolbx😊@@GerrysDiy
Good chap, happy to share knoledge, done some brakes in my life couldn't be simpler. Thanks pal
Thanks for taking the time to comment Cheers Gerry
A large veterinary syringe for oral use works well as a cheap vaccum bleeder and can also be used as a reversed bleeder. I paid less then $3 at my local farm store.
This spray bottle seems like a good idea as well. Thanks for sharing.
Dude I'm STUPID. I have plenty of syringe type w/o needle saline. I could have used those w/a piece of hose. Thanks man..
@@beetlejuiceonsyte1945 no problem. Happy to pass on things that i find useful.
and you can push the fluid up on a bike/ATV. so much easier than try to pump smal brake systems
How many CC for the syringe? And how much should you draw out?
He was so happy he pumped out 2 pints ......great video
great idea specially keeping the hose higher
Cheers Michael
So this hack helps with not even getting in the car yourself and pumping the breaks that's really brilliant
The PURE SIMPLICITY of this has caused a face palm moment for me...TYVM!
Hi LeftyLucyRightyTyty. It is really simple but the free part makes it great. 👍 Thanks for commenting Cheers Gerry
I can't believe we haven't seen this sooner. Genius. Cheers
Wow that worked really good props for thinking outside the box
Great video on brake bleeding. Seems you have a good understanding of physics.👍
This is something I never thought of. I have this in my garage from an empty weed killer container or from Armor All. I will try this method.
That car has the cleanest brake fluid I've ever seen
This is great thanks. I used plumbers PTFE tape wrapped around the plastic pipe to make up the thickness to match the ID of the rubber tube, works a treat 🙂
Great accent. Then again, I'm part Irish. . . I made a bleeder system years ago using a marine gas can primer bulb.
Thankyou so much for this great life hack 😀......
that last air bubble out of break line might save somebody’s life 😁
Thanks again sir .
Just put a spray bottle in the bin, ran down before the garbage truck came now in the shed and getting parts to try your invention Thanks and yes I have subscribed Great stuff.
Graeme in OZ
Very good! Please remember, start the bleeding process at the farthest wheel from the brake fluid source, (tank). The back passenger side first. The back drivers side second. The front passenger side third. Lastly, the front drivers side.
Cheers Gerry!
I keep stumbling over your videos, really clever guy, cheers man.
Nice tip! Right up my alley, I am all for reclaim,repair,reuse & recycle.
Stay well, Joe Z
👍😊👍
Thanks . You save the time and money for many people around the world. One of them , me.🌹🌺 Iraq
Thanks Gerry. .you saved me a couple bucks. Thought about buying a bleeder. Only I had one all the time.
Hi LW. I have been looking at these things for years and only ever saw them as sprayer bottle but it's great that they have other uses too 😜 Really appreciate the comment Cheers Gerry👍
Nice one Gerry. You don't see the wood through the trees. This a prime example. Like you say BRILLIANT!!! I have a hydraulic slave cylinder with no bleed nipple on a fiat doblo to do.
Your idea should work a treat. Thanks a million for the VIDEO.
Add a tad of super glue or sealant to the tubing if using insert to make air tight. Awesome idea
Good on ya Scotty............. your a gentleman. 🍀🍀🍀 I think you should PATENT that great idea 💡
This is flipping genius, I will be using this technique the next time.
I used this method today and it worked a treat 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for amazing video! Respect from Russia!!! ))))
Hello Russia Your English is perfect. I thought this might be useful to share and it has had a lot of activity in the last few days. I get lots of Russian comments on my waste oil burner and homemade paramotor trike videos. Great to hear from you Thanks for commenting Cheers Gerry👍
@@GerrysDiy Hi, Gerry! Not so perfect... 😁👍
@@GerrysDiy i'll see Your videos!
That's great Gerry , onward and upwards!
Hi Declan. I have had 1000's of comments the last few days. Did you see the paramotor video I just posted. th-cam.com/video/BTjgXtrweJM/w-d-xo.html Onwards and upwards indeed Cheers Gerry👍
Brilliant, I'm going to give this a go with my clutch this week!
What a good idea. Que buena idea. Fantástica.
Gracias Jesus Saludos desde Irlanda Cheers Gerry👍
A good way to keep air from seeping through the base of the bleeder valve is to apply a layer of grease, it will plug the cavity between the threads as you apply vaccume preassure to the line.
After watching so many videos and After 3 days all day of trying different methods on bleeding the breaks I finally did it, I have breaks once again. With new rotors and pads on all four installed and full flush and it's now working better then ever I'm set. I'm glad I don't have to go through this again anytime soon. 👌👇🤘💪
hero! worked perfectly on a stubborn clutch master where I couldn't use an ezibleed due to the cap being a weird size.. was literally about to go to machine mart and part with £70 for a draper vac bleeder and stumbled across your video
How did you do the clutch master , explain please
@@guzelovalish sorry I meant slave!
This man is a genius. Thanks a lot
Will also use for draining power steering reservoir.
Thanks
I use 50ml syringe for power steering reservoir.
Having a huge brake problem on my old bronco, changed pads and calipers and got a ton of air in the lines, and every time I bleed the system it did not get better, this method got it back to a ok” state, will try more when I get a chance but at least I don’t need two people. Thanks a bunch
Awesome. Scotty kilmer would be proud.
Proper bleeding equipment equals endless money pits.
Americans seem to be obsessed with Scotty Kilmer. What's the attraction to the shouty one?
@@68404 Neat Screen name. I know who Scotty Kilmer is, but when I see one of his videos on you tube I almost always ignore it. I guess he has his fans but I am not one of them
@@68404 the Sheltie one. That's funny man. Yeah I don't know, I have spent 90% of my life in America and I guess Scotty Kilmer is just a pretty cool Yokai as compared to our culture. Unfortunately in the US it is not the norm to have a friendly person who wants to help everybody without anything in return. But yeah I'm a big Scotty fan I think he's awesome.
@@68404 Are you the Great Scotty Kilmer? Rev up your engines😂
Don't forget to fill brake fluid into reservoir.Clever breeding tool.Thank you for shared.
“You’re a god damn genius Gump ! “
I did mine with one of those battery operated bug sprayer saves your hand from getting tired. Your awesome 🤘
brilliant idea! Thank you for sharing...
All this time doing brakes and this is so easy I feel like a newbie. Nice Job.👍
Great idea! Thanx for sharing. I'll never forget that awesome easy way.
All because the wife wasn't there....are ya sure she doesn't want any credit? Pure definition of desperation makes inspiration ! A +
Very simple but Great idea buddy!! CONGRATS !!!
I tryed this yesterday, and it works way better than the one i got from the store!
don't you feel guilty robbing the parts store of all them sales.....that is awesome and so simple probably got dozen old spray bottles laying around van put one of them back in service recycling!!!!!!
Hi Joe. The amazing thing is all you need to find is some tubing. The pump already has powerful suction. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Much appreciated Cheers Gerry👍
Parts stores still make money off the fluid, pads, rotors, calipers, and other parts. As a parts store counter person, it really doesn't make me any difference. I'm either going to sell the parts to you directly, or to you via your mechanic.
If you, as a DIY'er, want to do your own work using tools you make from stuff you have laying around, I'll still be here to sell you the parts you need and don't have. By the way, we sell the spray bottles and tubing as seen in this video. Probably 5% of my sales start off with my customer saying I saw this on TH-cam. 😉
Yea, TH-cam videos are great.
I just did my own brakes last night.
Oh my God, I've never known how easy it is.
Some mechanics wanted $340 to do only the front brakes.
Well I did it myself. Took my car for a test drive. Wow, very nice. Brakes work great.
Mechanics are not losing money though, they still have lots of customers.
@@guesswhomartin9249 welcome to the club. I started wrenching on my own cars 20+ years ago when I first started driving because I couldn't justify giving a mechanic my hard earned money.
@@jjbailey01 .... I agree, Many years ago someone told me, never do your own brakes. Always have a professional mechanic do it, so if anything goes wrong, You can sue the mechanic. Why did I ever listen to that, I'll never know. That was stupid advise.
I never knew how easy it is to do your own brakes.
Thank you again for your comment.
Have a great day.
Nice job. Simple ans useful. Thx, from Algeria.
Cheers man, brilliant hack !
WOW...and to think I spent 40 dollars for a tool...this is a great idea..Thanks
Thx a lot smart and easy best way on TH-cam I found
Gonna definately try this my next brake job
Clever idea. Maybe I can apply it to my motorbike which has an air bubble somewhere in the lines.
Zły pomysł!!! Zawsz będą bąble powietrza wchodzące przez nieszczelność gwintu odpowietrznika!!!
Mate, you are a genius....
As Soon as I seen what you were doing I said genius 👍
Why did i not think of this. Super Genius!
☝️one thing...
You should just cut bottom part of original bottle of the sprayer so you got:
1. Better handle,
2. Room to store your bleeding lines.
Cheers
cool hack!!
Awesome
Great idea men
Hey... I like your idea. Thank you for sharing.
Nice!
Top man sounds a decent bloke thanks for the tip
Smart idea. Thanks!
Great demo thanks... i will try this method next time i bleed lines...thanks for sharing
This is freaking awesome great job u made my day
