You guys are great!
I got a master cylinder bleed kit with plastic hoses and ends for $12. For a single use, that's a lot less than the cost of those flaring and cutting tools used in this video.
If both fittings are the same, there is an even easier way to do this. Stores carry straight, steel lines with fittings for both ends. Just get one about 1.5 ft long with the right fitting size, cut it in half, screw in the fittings and curve the line. No need to mess around with flaring ends and you'll save a little money not buying a whole roll of steel line..
I agree, unless you’re already replacing the front lines it’s not worth it. Personally I’m probably replacing all of the front lines including master so it would realistically be economical to use a reel since it would be extra, assuming I use about 20 feet or less.
I see a lot of other videos using what looks like about $5 worth of plastic hose and fittings to do the same thing. Plus with clear lines, you can actually see the air bubbles moving through.
"we want to save you money, so instead of buying a $12 plastic bench bleed kit we want you to buy a $60 tubing flare kit and $10 of adapters and steel brake line. Who needs the hassle of seeing when the air bubbles are purged through inexpensive clear tubing anyway?" 😂
hahahah overkill, you only need 2 clear tube hoses with plastic fittings.
Good job, that's exactly how we do it, bench bleed on the car it's easier that way.
Is it the same way to do it on a 2004 chevy suburban?
Bench bleeding on the car defeats the purpose of bench bleeding, though. For example, on a Jeep XJ, the MC is way tilted back and you end up with a big air bubble at the very front of the MC that you CANNOT remove by bleeding in the vehicle. You need to be able to bleed repeatedly while the MC is gently tilted forward and backward separately. Hence, bench bleeding.
@@inawrocki207 well of course not every vehicle you be able to do it the mc in the vehicle
When you disconnect the bleed fittings, doesn't that just reintroduce air into the master cylinder again??
You can buy a kit for $15 that has everything needed to do this...
Best way to do it is in the vehicle
wow i didnt even know you had to bleed the master cylinder thanks alot
if you have to buy the tools to make a kit, might as well buy the kit cpst lot less than the tools.
Funny, but true, lol.
Nice! Thanks
Are brake line fittings universal for the most part of would you have to get a bunch of different fittings for different vehicles?
Thank you you are the first person to actually complete the whole bleeding process from beginning to end... I've watched all the videos and nobody ever completed where they completely bled and hooked it up to the brake lines..
Why the dis likes??? (Trolls) This is a well informed made video. It's better than the rubber hose kits they sell.

DORMAN 13911 Universal Master Cylinder Bleeder Kit $3.89 at RockAuto
Plastic barb fittings, hangers and tubing included.
I'm really surprised at some of the stuff you show here. You show a regular open end wrench to open and close the brake line fittings instead of a line wrench, and you didn't even bother to whip off the booster? It's filthy. Why install a brand new part and leave all the corrosive mess behind? Some of your other videos are really good, this one fails to mention that lots of cars and trucks have MC's that are at an angle when installed, you have to bench bleed the MC level, and at a forward and back angle to bleed all the trapped bubbles out. I have done this many times on the bench and you'll get bubbles out. And showing the flaring of the tubing is great, but you fail to mention that the little plastic kits with hose works exactly the same, and most MC's come with the little plastic screw in fittings to bench bleed. All this could easily have been shown in the same, or less time. I like your videos, it's just that you are showing a method that only works in some cars, and using a line wrench is a really important tool for you to show the public, and inform them why you don't want to round off the fittings on lines. And, using an impact to tighten the nuts that hold the MC to the booster? That's just asking for trouble. All folks have to do is watch a few other videos on this same subject, and they will see with their eyes exactly what I'm saying is correct. I did not put a thumbs down on this video. I simply wanted to make a few points for the folks who really want the best procedure, Thank you.
I appreciate your attention to detail but some one like me whose tired of buying specialty tools just find out I can do it with the regular tools I own is alot nicer than running out a spending money on tools that make the job slightly easier or more professional so I can pretend like I know what I'm doing... I'm all for backyard fixes because tool money can be an issue sometimes and if I'm in the middle of a job and I look something up and they're like you need this and it just be a preference thing is annoying and causes panic.... it just boils down to being careful
I found out the hard way that line wrenches are necessary, apparently even more so with harder metals and flares that are anything less than perfect, so I agree with OP.
I've watched ALOT of yalls videos and ur the only one that don't bore me lol Great Job!
I was not aware that the master cylinder need bleeding separately. I thought it bleeds automatically when the Calipers are bled
When bleeding the rest of the system what do you mean. Bleed each wheel
Yes
Great job Len!
*What is a Vericle?
An axis or hinge; a turning point.
*What is a vehicle?
A thing used for transporting people or goods, especially on land, such as a car, truck, or cart.
"the vehicle was sent skidding across the road”
I have spent hours on you tube researching how to bleed a new vw master cylinder that is already installed in the car. For me, this guy nails it which saves me the hassle of removing the cylinder, bleeding it on a bench, and the reinstalling it. The camera work is clear and precise. Thank you!
He probably has fun seeing how many times he can get away with saying "vericle"
New bottle of brake fluid and a thick rubber hose with an OD less than the ID of the original flare fitting for the brake line. Push the hose onto the nipple of the master cylinder port and put the other end into the bottl of brake fluid. It would suck the fluid up the hose and into the master cylinder. Would be cheaper and easier than the method described in this video. Just make sure you only do one fitting at a time, make sure the other fitting has the car's brake hose attached. Rinse and repeat for the other port. This assumes the master cylinder is in the car and the brake lines are attached initially.
Jeeze, you want to save us money but we have to buy a 200. flaring tool, steel lines and 2 nipples. Thanks.
How many ugga duggas do I need make sure my brake booster is good and tight? Damn an impact gun to tighten those nuts, that’s crazy.
Are you bleeding until you dont see anymore bubbles? Or just 3-4 times? Thanks 🙏
Or you can just bleed it with the caps that come on it. I do it all the time, duh.
Many thanks that was the best video on this I have seen, clear and straight forward.
The reason you bleed it on the bench is because you need to push that piston all the way to the bottom. If you do it in the car the linkage might not let you push it to the stop.
Thank you for making this
When breeding the cylinder n pushing down on peddle do we disconnect the vacuum hoses or disconnect themm
Fails to mention youve got to push that brake about 60-100 times
When I bleed out My cars Calipers I noticed de fluid was verry thick, do I need yo change al the fluid?
Yes, I sure would. Dark colors and burn smells are bad signs of old fluid.
love the lesson brother
Definitely helped me while working on my 68 C10! I order most of the stuff from Amazon and was able to get it done inside my small little garage lol. Thanks!
Great vid! Is there a reason why you didn’t bleed at the lines to the master after bench bleeding?
My breaks are sinking when stop jx35 2013
No leaks on break fluid
+Eladio Cabagay We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
This is way too much extra work to do it this way no need for extra bleeding tools & placing master cylinder in a vice, easy way of doing install the new cylinder attach the brake lines back on the master cylinder DO NOT TIGHTEN WITH WRENCH only finger tighten lightly, place rags under the master cylinder then pour fluid back into new cylinder, then pump brake pedal once only holding pedal to the floor not removing foot from pedal then position broomstick on pedal to front of seat being certain it's tight that pedal does not come up even slightly when removing foot from the pedal, then tighten up the master cylinder line nuts, add fluid if needed,remove the broomstick then go back to unloosen the line nuts just slightly, go back to pump brake pedal again, reposition broomstick from pedal to seat, then reloosen master line nuts slightly being to always have enough fluid in cylinder then go back to pump pedal again "once" only position broomstick in place again tighten master line nuts again, repeat least four times & then finally bleed all four the bleeder valves on each wheel making sure there is enough fluid in master cylinder prior to bleeding each of the bleeder valves.
Thanks for sharing idea to make reusable bleeding lines!👍🏿
Mentions trying to save us money but need the flaring tool for the copper lines and special fittings 🤣🤣🤣 Amazon sells the plastic fittings for about 10 dollars and most new MC come with the fittings.
❤ well save me 250$.Thanks.
Very understandable thanks.
.20 cent vinyl hose from your local hardware store shoud work also
thanks 👍 i have a old 69 F250 and i dranied all the fluid from the master cyl and blew air in it to clearout any dirt only i didnt realize i pumped it up with air had a hard time getting fuid to come out of the bleeders going to bench bleed it first now....
When I bought a master cylinder probably remanufactured for my 78 Monte Carlo it actually come with a bleeder kit. It was plastic but it was free.
Lenn,thanks for making a master cylinder bleed much easier than I could of imagined. Your videos are always very informative and easy to understand, thanks again Lester from Canada
nice... reminds me of hvac work.
You technically could get hard lines of junkyard vehicle same make and model. Just cut and clear tubing with tape. Or heat metal lines into shape you need.
When I removes the bleeder hoses from the master cylinder all the fluid came out before I got to screw in the brake lines into the master cylinder. Is this an issue? or do I have to bleed the master cylinder again?
i have a 2013 ford edge, the reservoir is longer. just wondering if the process is the same? just having longer hoses would work as long as they reach the fluid at the bottom?
I still seen bubbles when u was done
Hi! What is the brand name and part number of the ratcheting pipe cutter you are using? And for the line flaring tool? Thank-you!
drinking syrup should be more socially acceptable
YOu might think about cleaning the lines that went back into the MC!! The rust and moisture can get into the line.
That was awesome to watch you guys did a great job. Thank you
Very nice job. Every video you make explain every process thank you very much
+Tim Turner Thank you! We love empowering our customers and showing how to perform DIY auto repairs with our high-quality auto parts. 1AAuto.com
Huh. So basically bench bleed but on the car. Simple but it takes 2 people to see the bubbles.
This is what I did but with the dormans universal kit since I don’t have a bench with a vice so thank you
I'm coming here for when I need to learn something else I'm replacing my master cylinder today
Is it possible to gravity bleed the brakes on my 98 C1500?
Have not made tubing before except on exhaust . Get pass that I am home free . Good video thanks
Excellent, I wish you'd have mentioned more about unhooking the old master from the booster and any problems that might involve.
+Grant W. Whitwam Thanks for the tip! We'll pass this info along to our production team.
This dude reminds me of a leprechaun villian😂😂😂😂
Nice video. So after installing the master and bleeding it, you would then bleed each caliper starting from the furthest away from the master to finish the bleed process?
Yes
Typically. Not always.
Awesome video Lenny. Give me a shout sometime. I sent you a hello text the other day.
great video thanks
What is a vericle?
That's very informative and easy-to-use love it, thanks
do i need a Power Brake Booster Pushrod Pin Adjustment Tool?
Could you just use a hose, submerged in fluid like in a bottle with some brake fluid, attached to the bleeder on the brake caliper, then start pumping?
Awesome.!! Thanks
.. 1A my favorite auto parts store
Thanks god bless
Nice, but where can we buy that tool you used to make the stuff, or maybe you can lend me that. I bet that tool is more expensive than taking my car to the shop.

Thanks. Info helped me greatly.
Second video ive'd watched today. Good videos and von point with explanations easy to understand. Thanks. 👍Def subscribed to this channel.
Boss i have something to ask ,what is the problem of the brake cylinder,if you use the brake the fluid goes on ther engine
Brake fluid is corrosive and will eat away at paint, chrome and some metals.
A1 Auto, in fact l didn't discover you guys early but is not too late, this bench bleed brake system it''s fantastic l really love it, more videos more education, thanks brothers
+Samuel Adjavon Thanks for checking us out. Shop for high quality auto parts on 1AAuto.com:

so you can do this while it's installed in the vehicle because I don't have a vice so it will be much easier
Thanks
Thanks great job bleed on car thanks
Nice job, thanx for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻
The bleeder kit is $8. Either will work
You do have great videos. Thanks
Excvellent video. Thanks
that is pretty cool thanks for the tip
+dennis rockwell Thanks for checking us out!
the kit is $16.00 at oreillys
Thanks A-1 y'al the best 👌
Nice Clear presentation, I think I can do this!
What about bleeding the ABS module without a scanner?
It's not recommended from what I've been told. Check around at your local auto parts stores; many will do a basic diagnostic scan on your vehicle for free, but some may have more advanced scanners that will bleed the ABS module for you, or they may loan you the tool. Remember to bleed the overall system after the ABS bleed as well.
You cut the pipe and add a transparent pipe it's better, I got it from an old car at the scrapyard

Another great one thanks from New York
Thank you for all your videos
Super helpful video. Thanks!
Very helpful thank u
