I have been a commercial jet mechanic for 21 years and you totally rock. I learn something new every day ! Your videos are informative, easy to understand and show that there's more than one way to skin a cat! Thanks for your time and effort in putting these together and coming up with great topics !

Just flushed my brakes for the first time - I love your videos above everyone else's. They are so clear, good lighting, and you get right to the instruction without wasting my time. Awesome videos.

Chris Fix I just flushed the brakes on my dads jeep. $4 and I had my own bottle saving me money compared to the bleeding system. Your flush video was a big help and useful! Keep the how to videos coming!! Thanks again!

[clintblackx]

I made one of these and used it last night on my brakes. I realized that the brake fluid on my 09 Traverse has NEVER been changed. It looks just like the fluid in your brake flush video. Thanks for the tip, Chris! Very useful tool!

[oxidizedolive]

I just wanted to say that with your tutorials coming in at over a decade of production, it's amazing to look back and see the kind of quality videos you put together so long ago. Keep it up brother. 🔥

Hey Chris
Thank you for all your videos. I am a DIY mechanic so I don't do a lot anymore. I have done many brake jobs and made a bleeder like yours from a peanut butter container. Works well. When I had an F250, I did a brake bleed on it - I understand doing a bleed every three years or so is recommended. I am doing a full brake job on our 2011 Subaru Forester over the next few days. On the video for that, I learned a few new things. Very grateful for the OUTSTANDINGLY WELL DONE video. This video is the best one I've seen on this topic. I appreciate your teaching skills.

The amount of work I have put into my imapala was finally totalled today. With every thing I replaced I called my local mechanic for a quote and after all new breaks rotors calipers and brackets new fluids plugs wires and so much more I have saved $3500!!!! I'm blown away. I was impressed by this channel to begin with now I'm simply blown away. Words can't express enough how thankful I am. You're the best dude!!!!

[MsSkullzone]

Totally useful, informative, money saving and clearly explained.

My Dad, that has been a Mechanic for GM since he was 20 and is 68 now, told me to put a hose on my bleeder screw then submerge it in break fluid tonight if I was having a big problem bleeding my ATV brake system!!
It is awesome that you are doing the same thing and explained it better to me lol...
Thanks!!

Thank you! I was anxious about bleeding the brake lines after replacing the calipers in my 1998 Camry. I followed your instructions and it worked great. I could not believe how simple you made this job.

[Funsho]

I just did this and it was super easy. I know it is really for one person but I had my son pushing the brake pedal because I wanted to see air bubbles come out and the fluid change with my own eyes. Thanks for this video.

[grahamnichols]

You really saved my ass over the last couple days between this video and a couple of your other ones. I really want to thank you, because I seriously would have been up the creek without your help. So thank you, Sir, very much!

[Tithulta]

I finally made myself one of these, never needed one til the last few years after my Dad passed away. My daughter is old enough to help, but isn't always here when i have time to work on stuff. She's in flight right now as I'm preparing to bleed her brakes on vacation with my ex's family. Thank you for the MANY helpful videos over the years!

[HassanEido]

Thank you Chris! I just did my own brake flush on my car, and wow, the fluid came out black and air bubbles came out. Now my brakes are firm at the top of the pedal and no more fade! I followed this video and the other video on how to flush the fluid and it was a breeze. Great work man

[MultiGazman]

Always nice to see people thinking for themselves, just a couple of things, take the top off before drilling it, Use a drill bit that matches the outside diameter (OD) not the inside of the tubing, No need to use a pilot hole for plastic, just make the holes you need in the sizes you need them. Thanks for the vid

[MrDeadInMyPocket]

I used a medium sized glass peanut butter jar. (Yes you can still buy those. Maybe a glass mason jar will work too) It's not too big and the weight helps it stay upright. Have had it fifteen years now and still going.

[bipedal-bob]

This is the best brake bleeder there is, just replaced the rear calipers on my truck, made one of these and it was so easy to use i couldn't believe it worked, you just open the bleed screw with this attatched and let it drain ( make sure to top off your master cylinder each time), when there is no more bubbles coming with the fluid, tighten your bleed screw an your done. I was skeptical the first time but when i checked the brake pedal it was hard, no sponggyness at all, not convinced yet i started the engine, power brakes now working, stll no spongyness, so i took it for a drive where theres no traffic so i could get right on the brakes and still perfect.

[krissrock]

yeah, good shit. I've been using this "fix" for probably 10 yrs now...Waayyyy less mess. I've never tried using a zip-tie, but that's a good idea fo sho

Hey Chris!
I have been watching your videos for a long time even though I didn't have a car.
Now I finally got a Mitsubishi Lancer Wagon 1971. Your tips were quite helpful since I literally watched all of your videos.
Now I have to bleed my brakes and replace brake fluids. This video is gonna help me alot.

So anyways, I just wanted to let you know that you really inspired me alot to start working on cars and bikes.
Even though you don't make videos about bikes, your car videos still motivated me to work on my my bike too.
Thanks man!
