How to Make a Simple Clutch or Brake Bleeding Kit
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 มิ.ย. 2019
- How to make and use a simple clutch and brake bleeding kit. Here I am using it to bleed the clutch system on a 2000 Toyota Yaris 1.0 petrol. On this, and many other cars, the clutch and brake fluid are topped up from the same brake fluid reservoir. On some other vehicles the clutch and brake systems have separate fluid reservoirs so check before you bleed it. If in doubt, consult with your car owner's manual. Thanks for watching.

I wish i could pay you 😢😢youre video has done wonders in my car..
As an enthusiast I've been working on cars and motorbikes for over 3 decades and never used the exact same solution as presented in this video. I came across it recently when having problems with clutch dropping to the floor on my 2012 Volvo V60 2.4 D5. I was dreading a replacement procedure of the clutch slave cylinder (massive nightmare to get a clutch pedal out) or worse, the cost of a potential new clutch, dual mass flywheel and slave cylinder. It turns out my clutch fluid was never replaced before (completely dark and contaminated) so flushing it out and bleeding the system using this method sorted out the problem. It feels like a new clutch again. £££' saved and a lot of man hours. I thank and salute you Sir!
You're very welcome, thanks for watching !
Absolutely dead simple and a no-nonsense tool. Just replaced a failed master cylinder in my 1991 Jeep Wrangler and used this tool to both burp the air out and flush out the entire system. Air free and full of fresh fluid now. Thank you!
You're very welcome 👍
Straight to the point, no BS video! Simple and easy instructions, thank you

So, when i came to America, nobody new what a spanner is.....i had to learn its a wrench
im happy to see someone use the spanner. Nice simple direct video. thank you.
Thanks for watching ! 👍
Brilliant video! Very informative and I rate it 10/10. I like the step by step instructions for non mechanical guys like me 😁
Thanks for watching ! 👍
Thanks so much, my self bleeder from Amazon guess the back valve stuck open so sucking air. Your system worked perfectly...
Thanks for watching !
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. 👌👇🤘💪
I know what you mean ! :)
Me too
I used 1/4" clear tubing from tractor supply found in their plumbing section for $3.99. Worked perfect!
Good stuff!
Replacing clutch master and slave cylinder this weekend on my 00' tacoma! this video was amazing and clear cut instructions, thank you

Bled all the brakes on my '97 Toyota Tacoma 4wd after replacing the front calipers and the rear wheel cylinders. Worked perfectly as you showed in this great video. Thank you.
You're welcome, thanks for watching !
Dude, this video was awesome and very helpful I never knew this technique until I saw this video last night.
For the record I worked on a clutch today and with this technique here I was able to get the slave cylinder pushing within 20 minutes.
Thank you very much

My jeep isn't giving in. Like 2 hours trying to bleed this thing
@@weareone7315 try check if your fluid line is not leaking, coz this doesn't take any longer
I did a 2015 Camaro SS clutch slave cylinder replacement.
Of all the videos I've seen this is the one that made the lightbulb come on and it let me know exactly what I needed to do.
Thank you.

This video is by far the best step by step ive ever seen for clutch bleeding. Great job. Keep making videos like this. 👑
Thanks very much :)

Best diy video sir love from Pakistan
Thank you !
This method works great and no need for a second person. Also, you can just use an empty bottle without a lid. One thing I always do on bleeding a clutch system is to drain out all the old fluid and clean crud from the bottom of the reservour [sp], then refill with new brake/clutch fluid. Old fluid has done its duty and probably contains a lot of moisture, which can rust out the cylinder bores so best to remove all the old fluid.
I was thinking on doing exactly this. But i'm dubious because of the statement of the video that bewares not to let the fluid to go below the MIN mark in the reservoir tank.... In other words, if i empty the reservoir tank it will go below this minimum mark, innit?
Do I need to bleed the brakes as well if I want to drain all the fluid or that's separate from the brakes?
At least on my old Toyota truck the clutch master cylinder is about two feet right above the clutch slave cylinder. So there is almost a straight tube connecting them and once I drain all the fluid out I was able clean the reservour then attach the plastic tube and bottle onto the bleed nipple then fill the reservour with clean fluid and go through the process of pumping the pedal so the fluid completely filled the system and pushed out all the air. @@antoniomartingarcia6229
The hydraulic clutch system is not connected to the brakes in any way. So bleeding the clutch system has no effect on the brakes. Usually the clutch and brakes take the same type of fluid, but check your owner's manual to be sure of this. Maybe somewhere out there a POS vehicle like the Yugo might have used two different fluids to further torment the hapless owner! But I have never seen any vehicle that used anything but brake fluid in the clutch hydraulic system. Good luck!@@dzoni97a
it means dont begin the bleeding process unless the oil is above the minimum level, you will just suck more air in if the fluid is too low@@antoniomartingarcia6229
Nice video mate, very affordable kit and informative video cheers 👍👍👍
Thank you very much ! :) 👍

@@screwsnutsandbolts i have a question about my golf 4 t(di) 2001, 1.9 diesel. Can i ask it? It's a bit long (so you can understand thr situation), but if yes, i'll send you the link to my reddit post cause no one has answered me yet there on r/askmechanics on Reddit. Can i please? I think only you can help me...Thanks in advance.
@@rdttdr6507 You can send me the link and I'll have a look.
@@screwsnutsandbolts i dont know why i cant send the link. I'll post the text here if yt permits lots of characters to write.
Hi all. Just found this sub. I hope that you can help me.
Sorry in advance for my technical english. So...3 months ago while driving, after stopping somewhere, pressed clutch but could not engage to gear 1. Turned off the car, turned it back on and it was good to go. Parked it near my house. Tomorrow morning,.entered car, put reverse, got out of parking and after 30 meters clutch stayed to the floor. Would not come back up. After manually moving it, came back up and it was OK to move. Moved about 700 or 800 meters and it stuck again to the floor. Let it somewhere. Tried manualky but it would not come back up. Tomorrow towed the car and sent it to a mechanic which my brother in law knew. He needed the slave cylinder replaced. Found a used one but in good shape. Gave it to him and took the car back the day after. It was everything OK unless after 1 or 2 weeks it happened again. Let the car for about 2 months without moving it. The gears changed perfectly ONLY when the car was off. This time the pedal came back up everytime i pressed it. But when on, gears would not change. When it was off put it to first gear and turned the car on and with difficulty it was good to move. Sent it to the mechanic again and he told me thar the entire clutch set needed replacement. It was hard to find it for 6 gears but finally found it (used but in really good shape) and gave it to him. He did it. I took the car, moved without problems (except 1 or 2 times while needed to pump the clutch). I thought it was normal after changing the entire set. Went home. Everything OK. After 4 hours, pressed the clutch pedal and it stuck to the floor again. Moved it back and forth manually until came back itself. It was good. I moved and it was OK, until it wasnt anymore. Could not shift to 2nd or 3rd while driving. Also could not shift to neutral when wanted to stop. Only if constantly pumping it unless could not pump it anymore. Parked on the road side. Let it there. Went home walking. My brother in law finished his shift and we came back to my golf 4. After many tries thr pedal was hardened and i could shift again...at least to first. During driving to go to the mechanic again, same problem. Pumped it constantly during driving. Let it to the mechanic. He told me this time for the master cylinder (the one in the clutch pedal if im not mistaken on this term). Found it. Gave it to him. He fixed it again. Took it today. It was smooth, everything OK...unless it happened again. Could not shift...with very much difficulty after trying to press clutch pedal several times. Not the same difficulty like other times but problem is still there. Now my car is parked. It's not asvbad like the other times, clutch comes back up easily but cant shift gears unless i try several times.
Please help me cause i'm really frustrated. Could it be that air or debris is trapped inside the brakes (clutxh) fluid or something like that? There are no leaks.
Thanks is advance!
UPDATE: Update: Turned the car on this morning. Pressed clutch and it stuck to the floor. Put it back up with the side of my foot. Did this like 4 or 5 times until it could came back up by itself. Pumped it and gears were shifting OK. Stayed with car on in neutral for like 5 minutes, and the problem resurfaced again. The clutch becomes very loose, until i pump it back up. Now i'm at work but i'm sure that when i go back home and try again, it will happen the same. Clutch to the floor and repeat.
Please help me to locate the problem cause i did everything and don't know what to do anymore. It is my only car atm. No money for a new one lol :)
EDIT: Tried it 20 mins ago. Had to pump it like 3 times to be able to shift. Didnt move car. Just tried it there.

@The Blue Jeans It might be worth a try but it's usually other things that cause that issue. The usual suspects are a failed clutch release bearing
, failed slave cylinder, a failed clutch master cylinder or a broken clutch linkage. If bleeding does fix it, you'll need to find out where fluid is leaking out or where air is getting into the system.
Nice I'm going to do this on my s10 thank you

@The Blue Jeans You're welcome, good job ! :) It is possible that air can be drawn in from around the loose bleeder screw threads as you bleed the caliper. Be careful not to open the bleed screw too much :)
@The Blue Jeans That's true 👍
@The Blue Jeans Thank you !
@The Blue Jeans You're very welcome !
Best way going
Que buen video me hizo acordar a Beni hola show sin audio se entendió todo ja gracias amigo

thanx dude .. its worked
Cheers 👍
Just a suggestion. Fill the tube till it is full of brake fluid. I know the fluid will go down in the tube due to gravity and it is tricky to get air out of the tube, but it is possible with a bit of hit and miss in the placement of the tube relative to the fluid level in the bottle. The best way is to have a tight fit of the tube in the bottle cap with a bit of heat glue. The secondary hole need not be made, and by opening and closing the bottle cap we can control atmospheric pressure in the bottle, thence work against gravity, in keeping the tube filled with brake fluid. Squeezing the bottle with a tight cap will expel air out of the tube. Loosen the cap as needed when bleeding the air out of the system. When pushing the tube onto the bleeder valve it is best not to have air in the tube in the first place. This helps if the bleeder valve does not have a one way mechanism or the one way mechanism is circumspect..
Thanks for the tips :)
How far out should the slave cylinder push out, mine only pushes out about a quarter of a inch. Should it push out more than that.
Exellent 😊😊
Thank you !
very good video my friend. most of them bleed kits under £10 are cheap and rubbish im going to make one of these. all the times I've done this job and wished id had another pair of hands to keep the fluid topped up but like most of us DIY guys theres no one around. Tony Leics uk
Thanks very much Tony ! :)
Yeah, same problem. Super helpful video!
Cheers dude. Going to do this’d before ibuiy a new clutch 👍 stay safe stay awesome 😎
Thanks very much, you too 👍
Steve walker did it work?
@@guillermocantu8986 yes mate. Worked very well , it turned out that my slave cylinder was deteriorated so bought a new one and did it all again. The second time. With new line and. Works superbly now.
used brake fluid gets recycled to be used as blinker fluid
I agree we’ll ✅ done
Thanks !
fantastic .

Thank you bro kc minsan ako magdrive mag isa ok
Yea seems pretty legit
lods dpt jan pa higop, baliktarin lng ang hose.
, kc pag pa tulak may mga truck na may one way check valve. at isa pa lods hussle pa yan di kc tuwing mag bleed ka pa tulak kailangan mo e adjust ang brake master pra open ang daluyan ng fluid sa brake master. kc pag ndi mo e nadjust may mga clutch na ung iba subrang taas means tukod kailagan pang e adjust. na double na tuloy ang trabaho. hahaha anyway nice Diy.
Had this problem on my dodge challenger 2017 only30k miles the problem appeared after parking it for about a month an not driving it the pedal got really light I’m going to try this method and hopefully it will drain the air out and stiffen back up the pedal again like when I first had it
