- Does your car take a long time to stop? Maybe your brake pedal feels spongy? You may need to bleed your brakes! Air bubbles can get into the brake system over time and these will leave the brakes feeling spongy and ineffective. It's a good time to purge the system of air whenever you change the brake pads. In this episode, we show you how to bleed your brakes on the 8th gen 2006-2011 Honda Civic! Most other cars are very similar in procedure.

You are truly amazing, it’s my first time I done it, by mistake I took out piston out and I lost break fluid, I didn’t know you have to bleed so. Driven car and break paddle shrink, then i bleed got the air out,
Now it’s absolutely fine, break’s working,
Thank you so much for uploading the video 👍
Helped me out a lot and saved me a trip to the mechanic. Appreciate you brother! Definitely a channel everyone should subscribe to
Dude this video deserves more views likes and everything! You rock!!! Subscribed!!!
Thank you!
Where are your clutch and stick shift? Seriously though, good video. Coincidentally, I just finished f****** up this very thing on my '08 Civic. I'm so proud that I get to try again tomorrow. Thanks for the video.
Imagine living in a world where u cant find somebody to press the brakes repeatedly 😢
God is good and love is a genuine seed with hope and faith as roots 🙏🏿
is it just the front brakes or all 4? good video
Can it be done in a driveway that is uphill? Or does it need to be done in a flat surface ?
What diameter size hose do I need to use?
Good info so do you start pressing the pedal constantly before opening the bleeder
Get into the rhythm and start pumping the pedal. As soon as the assistant opens the bleeder the pedal feel will soften quite a bit. After bleeding, the pedal feel will firm up again.
If I'm bleeding all 4 calipers front and rear, is there a specific order I need to bleed them in? Bleed from front to rear or rear to front?
Also with the brake fluid reservoir cap open while we do this process, doesn't air get pulled in while we are bleeding? Or does having the resevoir topped up avoid air being pulled into the system?
TIA.
The order prob doesn’t matter too much as the fluid will tend to flow towards the open bleed screw. Just keep the reservoir topped off and air shouldn’t get into the system. Good luck!
Yes, it's recommended to change it furthest to the nearest relative to the master cylinder to stop dirty brake fluid from being kept in the lines
What is the bleed sequence ? Is it front driver side first and then work your way down or you start at the back first ? Thank you
Furthest to the reservoir to Nearest on all 4 wheels
@@imacheetah100 This is also how I learned it.
Every car today varies. The old rule of furthest to the nearest isn't necessarily true any more. For example the service manual for a 2003 Honda Accord states, bleed front left, then front right, then rear right, and ending with the rear left.
The only best answer to your question is to check with what the manufacturer recommends for your specific vehicle.
Just make sure to rest the car on some safety stands rather than the floor jacks even if youre not going under the car.
Do we need all four wheels to bleed?
Only if air was allowed to get in that wheel. This usually doesn’t happen unless you opened the bleed screw or the reservoir started sucking air and pushed it into that wheel’s brakes.

Ok, but also a warning... Don't put ANY excessive force while turning the bleeder screw open, ok ? It might break and end up costing you more than anticipated... Otherwise everything is ok with that tutorial. Good job.
this literally just happened to me 1 minute ago 😭
@@jackassdude2010 At least I tried dude... 😅That sucks... Every video about bleeding brake should warn to use a real 6 point flared wrench and even at that point, don't go beserk, it might be impossible to unscrew intact. That will happen a lot on older car where bleeder never has been opened. I plan to at least find one corner that is possible to get lose and bleed just that line and the master cylinder at least. Go find a video about how to remove a broken brake bleeder but go buy a set of 4 before cause you'll lose your brake once removed.
