Sam that Sealey brake bleeding tool is a brilliant bit of kit! I've had mine for what must be a bit over 10 years now. It has transformed brake bleeding for the bloke at home. BTW, my preferred method is to start the furthest point from the reservoir and work up to the closest.
Watched all the brake videos now Sam as it’s a job I’ll be tackling early next year. Brilliant series so incredibly helpful - thank you and a very merry Christmas to you and yours, wishing you well - Ash 👍
I have recently done my bleeding brakes! Without the bleeding tool it's a bleeding nightmare if you don't own one don't bleeding do it... bleeding great informative Post Sam😁
Awesome video. Very Helpful. I am replacing my Astra J GTC clutch elbow, because the clip broke and clutch pipe came off. Now that clip is nowhere to be found on internet, so I'm getting a new clutch elbow 15 quid. and I'm getting this Sealey one, it has gone expensive though. Hopefully, I will have a solid clutch feel after my work. Never done a cycle repair, learning from YT.
Love those videos of yours, my friend! Another excellent how-to video on really mandatory brake service! 😊👍 I am a big proponent to frequent brake fluid changes - you mentioned already, that it's hygroscopic and will eventually cause corrosion within the brake system if not changed frequently. The added moisture actually lowers the boiling point of the fluid, causing air bubbles to form within the fluid when using the brakes and approaching their limit - air (as compared to liquid) can be compressed, hence the spongy pedal. Not good. 😕 That tool is a real tme saver. No more "pump, hold, release pressure" and keeping an eye on the master cylinder, so it does not draw air. Truly a one person job. It is also good practice, to start the changing / bleeding process at the wheel furthesst away from the master cylinder, in case of a RHD vehicle, that'd be the left rear. If it is just a fluid change (e.g. no air in the system) , then it does not really matter. Really looking forward to the Transit video! 😎 Stay safe, everyone! 🚐☁🍀
It depends on your systems condition when I did this video. I had forgotten I had changed my fluid only a few months earlier so mine was already in good condition mate
It all feeds through the pump the pump only cuts in when required The only other part you should bleed is the clutch we left this out so as not to muddy the water or confuse

I usually start at the back, too, but i was to far into the video when I remembered

Bought the exact same sealey kit a month ago of ebay Sam for £58 delivered.
😊👍
Neat! I've been looking for such a device.
👍😊
Nice one Sam
😊👍
Great video... So it takes about 1litre?
It depends on your systems condition

Is it true you start from the brakes farthest away and gradually come forward.
Thanks for the video
yep start from furthest away
😊👍
Great video.. Thanks

Niceone m8 be doing mine soon thanks m8

Just a query but do you not need to do the ABS pump as well, unless it does not have one?
It all feeds through the pump the pump only cuts in when required
The only other part you should bleed is the clutch we left this out so as not to muddy the water or confuse
£58 for bleeder
