Incredible video! Very easy to understand. I'm going back to this video when I replace a wheel cylinder on a 2017 Honda fit tomorrow.

great job, glad you mentioned using regular wrench when you can, working the nuts back and forth a bit before trying to go all the way

[alejandroroal]

Another great video. It could not have been any clearer than that. Thank you...

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I had changed the rear brakes on my daughter's 2007 civic and the pedal was soft on the first push after all was done, I watched you vid and did your bleeding technique and it worked perfect!!!

[roddyvivar]

I can watch Len work on that car all day! 😍

[Szyx]

Thank you for making this quality video! Watching this gave me the confidence to work on my girlfriends car right at home. Excellent.

Crimping the hose could be bad if it punctures a hole I like to use a zip tie. Awesome video this will help my mushy pedal go away after replacing the shoes hopefully

Hi, this is a great video, now I can fix and change the wheel cylinder of my HONDA CIVIC, I have one question, should I need to start the engine when I push down the brake pedal to bleed the brake fluid out from the bleeder ? Thank you

[jackdixon]

Entire half an hour I missed cos I was distracted by that lunch beard now I have to watch it again

Some may laugh at all of his safety precautions, but when you’re doing this day in and out, brake dust will cause health issues. Not a bad idea to even wear a mask when doing brakes

[PartyKingOfTarzana]

Good vid, but I am curious, in what state do they pull your rear drums off for an inspection sticker? They don't even do that in Massachusetts.

[danielb]

Great job! You're a good teacher.

[FourFourSeven]

At 13:33, what specific type of tool are those red pliers/clips that help plug the open end of the brake line? I can't seem to find them.

[st.michaelthearchangel]

Very informative. Good stuff, gents!

Thank you.

[FPSAnarchy]

Great vid thanks for all tips and tricks

[NeedlessJ]

Hey, Honey get in here it's a Len episode 😁

[kevins]

Don't you bleed this like any other brakes and hold the pedal down? How will you get the air out?

[TheRealoldcar]

How tight for the bleeder screw? I often get new replacement Wheel Cylinders from various brands and sources, even Honda OE, that the bleeders leak when the brake pedal is depressed. The leak is very slow, but do seep.
