  • In this video i will show you how to bleed your brakes by your self. Or doing a brake flush by yourself. bleeding brakes by yourself in a easy process especially when i show you how to make the one person brake bleeder tool. This video will be the same as how to flush your brakes by yourself. I will go over the brake bleeding order and how to determine the bleeding order of your brakes. or how to find out the bleeding order of your brakes when bleeding or flushing! AKA brake bleeding sequence. how to bleed brakes with one person. we also talk about abs module and how to bleed your brakes with an abs module. brake bleeding order with an abs module is different then with just master cylinder with brake fluid.

    Buddy, I love your videos, but I feel compelled to correct this common misconception about bleeding the brakes. It is a one-person job, but it’s even simpler than you described. The ONLY reason you need a plastic bottle and hose is to keep your floor clean. The modern master cylinder has residual pressure valves at each exit port. Their purpose is to keep a little pressure in the lines for instant braking. Without them, the driver would need to pump up the brakes for every stop. The RPVs keep air from being sucked back into the system when you open a bleeder. Also, you should NEVER push the brake pedal to the floor, especially on an older vehicle. The normal travel of a master cylinder piston is about 1 to 2 inches. The “untraveled” portion of the master cylinder can get some pitting from sediment in the brake fluid (it gets worse with age). Pushing the brake pedal to the floor rams that rubber piston seal through the pitted portion of the cylinder and usually tears it, and then you need to rebuild or replace the master cylinder. If you open the bleeder and pump the pedal the NORMAL TRAVEL of the brake pedal, the air will be pushed out and the RPVs will keep air from being sucked in. Please try it.

      If you don't use a tube and bottle, how do you know when there is no more air coming out of the system? When the tube is filled with fluid and no air bubbles you know you are done, or am I missing something?

    • @michaeldelarm1630
      @michaeldelarm1630 ปีที่แล้ว

      This methods inferior. Trapped air is a thing. Ask your local shop how they bleed brakes.... they pressurize the system by sucking or blowing or both.
      This method is really meant to get most fluid to the caliper... then properly bleed by pumping and dumping or by using an air tool.

    very helpful... Ive known about the 2-man method for a long time, and I started buying 1-man method tools trying different ones to see what i liked (including reverse bleeding). But even my 1991 SE Miata has ABS...I didn't know to use the ABS module as the starting point to determine which corner to start from...I would have gone with the 'DR, PR, PF, DF' typical US vehicle set up. But now I know to actually swap that, and start with the passenger rear first. Thanks!

  • @robnation2475
    @robnation2475 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Recently I got in the shower to wake myself up prior to doing my brake job... Glad I did because that's where I came up with this idea!: You can add a vacuum pump inline using an Aussie shampoo dispenser pump! The pump mates perfectly after pulling off the top head and bottom feed tube 😃. Fits clear vinyl tubing with 1/4" ID and 3/8 OD ...without any extra hardware! (Tubing fits over the top and inside the bottom of the Aussie purple pump)
    Perfect for Ford F150/F250 btw. Great for pumping out the master too.
    Note: Use a pair of pliers to hold the top plunger from moving as you shove the tubing on in place of the Aussie pump's head. I also added some 3M 33+ electrical tape to secure the bottom connection but that's probably overkill/unnecessary.😁
    Bonus tip: Use a short funnel in the master to overfill it as you pump fluid from the 4 corners.

    A rare, twist-top skinny/tall Gatorade bottle is awesome. It has a mouthpiece on the bottle and the very top part can be removed and then the existing hole can be trimmed by hand with a 3/8" drill bit for 3/8" tubing (air tight!).

  • @bjgaspar

    Just a heads up.
    You still have to trace the brake lines. My 97 Camry is set up the same way with the master cylinder @ driver front, ABS @ passenger front, but the rear brake lines run along the driver side frame rail. Rear Passenger then cuts back under the trunk between the gas tank & the spare tire, making it the furthest.

    My gto abs module is on the right hand side too. I don’t think it’s an import thing I think it’s just random on the cars engine bay. Because even left hand drive monaros (what the 04-06 gto was derived from) have the same architecture and I think some American made vettes have master on driver side abs module on right

    It's my understanding that some vehicles have the ABS module mounted underneath the vehicle which complicates this process. I've also heard that the corvette has 2 bleeder valves per brake. But the vehicle I worked on today was a 2014 Xterra. Anyway, i was wondering about those air bubbles. I noticed on 2 of my brakes that there were air bubbles in the hose but they were moving away from the bleeder valve and towards the collection bottle. I take it that is normal? At any rate, the brakes seem to function OK on my test drive so I guess I got the job done right.

I would like to bleed the brakes by myself, but do I need to start my car? thank you and good video!! would the brake pedal press soft as normal if I released the valve without the engine on?

    How do you watch the line and bottle if you are in the car pumping the brake pedal?

    Does the cat need to be stared during the bleeding process?

    I had a first today. I replaced a rear cylinder on my truck and had someone pump the brakes while I bled them. 3 pumps and hold, I loosened the bleeder valve, brakes did not go to the bottom nor did any fluid come out. Finally on third try, a "little" fluid came out. Brakes did not go to bottom. Tried 5 or 6 times, a little more fluid came out but brakes never went to the bottom. Drove it and brakes feel a little spongy. I have never heard of the brakes not going the bottom when the valve is opened. Thanks for some ideas,

      Your brake hose on that side is most likely collapsed inside and impeding fluid flow

      ​ @LISA ANTO I wound up replacing that cylinder because it was leaking worse than the one I replaced and ironically it bled that time. I know the new cylinder had nothing to do with that but somehow the line cleaned itself out. Thanks for the reply as that certainly sounds logical,

      The old bleed nipple was probably clogged.

    Question do I leave the cap off whiles pumping the brakes or the cap stays on while pumping ?

    • @susanpatterson1108

      Cap stays on or you can introduce air into the system and you run the risk of contaminates getting into your system.

    • @susanpatterson1108

      That's why if you look in cap there is a rubber seal that comes down if fluid is low to prevent air from getting in system. Cap always on.
