How to bleed brakes by yourself

You must bleed brakes whenever air is introduced into a vehicle brake system. This can be done by yourself ; using the method in this video.
How to use a ratchet and socket set:

My video using a Disk Brake Caliper tool to seat a rear brake caliper piston :

Good old school way of doing it and works amazing been doing it this way for 30 plus years

WOW, the most important of this video is elevating the bottle so it is above the bleeder valve and below the Master cylinder. Why? Positive pressure from bottle down to bleed valve. Because doing so, prevents air leaking from the bottom of the bleeder valve into your hose "thus making you think it is air coming out of your caliper/wheel cylinder/lines !" The grease trick around the bleeder screw never works for me and if replacing calipers with new ones, gravity bleeding won't get the air out of the calipers, it has to force out.

I just pump the brake then wedge it down with a stick then bleed the bleeder valve.

Does it take allot of bubbles in the brake system for the pedal to be soft?

[NoahPARK]

does the bottle needs to be air tight sealed?

[raczyk]

Do you mump the brakes all the way down?

[townley]

Won’t the air in the tube go back into the caliper when you let go of the pedal?

The I.D. is 17 thousands of an inch? I don't think so. Probably 0.187. Or 3/16 of an inch.

Quick question. Do you have to bleed everything. Or is it enough too just take the front. Im changing callipers in the front

[seekter-kafa]

one question, do i turn on the electricity when pressing the breakes (in order to keep the il flowing) or one should do it without

I have a 2015 Dodge Ram 1500. My calipers are riding my rotors. What you just demonstrated do I need to do all 4? Which I don’t mind.Maybe doing one side will do the trick?

Do you have to do it to all 4 corners?

[kellismith]

Worst part is getting the car propped up to get clear access of bleeders

[jamesklinski]

Does bottle location and length of hose matter?
