How I use a VACUUM PUMP to BLEED the BRAKES on my JEEP PATRIOT

In this video, I show the basic information on how to bleed the non-ABS portion of the hydraulic braking system with a vacuum pump. I also show what I did to solve the problems with the rusted bleeder screws and the problematic space with the drum brake cylinders.
At the end of the video, I added my procedure to wash the jar and other bleeding components.
The torque to tighten the bleeder screws is written at the end of the video.

You should be an auto shop teacher. Great video

I didn't like the fact that these vacuum bleeders actually suck air from past the bleeder threads so there appears to be a never ending air bubbles stream. I rather preferred the pressure bleeder - the one that goes on the master cylinder. For the bleeders, I like to spread some anti-rust spray around the bleeder to prevent it from getting stuck. Canadian Tire has the green bottle Rust-Check (the red bottle doesn't last)

Hi…do have a link for a pressure bleeder that fits the Patriot?

[@allisonbenson7095]

Can you do a video showing us where you are putting the jack stands on your jeep patriot please? My jack tries to slip on my concrete and I need more options on where to safely put the stands. Thank you!

It could be useful. I am going to look about it. Meanwhile you can look at those links.

normally you have to do the rear wheels and after the front wheels? bcs the rear ones are the longest lines from the abs pump..

[@mikeandrews745]

Great video man! Are the blue pictures you are showing from some sort of manual that is available for purchase?

[@mtlcarguy]

No, I draw all my illustrations.

[@mikeandrews745]

How did you find out the sequence on how to bleed the brakes? I thought you started with the rear passenger side wheel but you started with the driver side rear.

[@mtlcarguy]

@@mikeandrews745 I got the information from a Jeep patriot document (Base Brake Bleeding)
You can check this link, the PDF is for a Cherokee but the sequence is the same

@MTLcarguy Thanks man I appreciate it, you’re a legend! Do you have the document to the Coolant change as well? I saw your video on it but I’m better at reading instructions when I’m actually working on cars.

[@mtlcarguy]

@@mikeandrews745 I don't have this procedure written. The work done in this video is based on multiple readings I did over the years.
Ref: Bleeding, ... a mix of those 2 PDF found online could help you:

(2) images.homedepot-static.com/catalog/pdfImages/13/1323e3f5-9504-4f95-93c4-327afe1d4532.pdf
Concerning the coolant it is the same. You can check this PDF

[@bigburb7361]

What year is your jeep patriot? Is it a 2.4L?

[@mtlcarguy]

Year 2009 and 2.4L

[@viktorivanov94]

👍👏👍

[@freniforme]

do you have the part number for the bleeder screws?

[@mtlcarguy]

I don't have this invoice anymore but I think it was H9411. You can double-check on line to confirm this number and check the specs.
