How To Bleed Your Brakes | BY YOURSLEF

In this video i will show you how to bleed your brakes by your self. Or doing a brake flush by yourself. bleeding brakes by yourself in a easy process especially when i show you how to make the one person brake bleeder tool. This video will be the same as how to flush your brakes by yourself. I will go over the brake bleeding order and how to determine the bleeding order of your brakes. or how to find out the bleeding order of your brakes when bleeding or flushing! AKA brake bleeding sequence. how to bleed brakes with one person. we also talk about abs module and how to bleed your brakes with an abs module. brake bleeding order with an abs module is different then with just master cylinder with brake fluid.

I have seen many videos on this process and NEVER has it been explained this way. Thank you very much and a huge thumbs up!!

[fescudder]

Didn't know about the ABS module being the focal/reference point. Learned something new today. Thanks.

Recently I got in the shower to wake myself up prior to doing my brake job... Glad I did because that's where I came up with this idea!: You can add a vacuum pump inline using an Aussie shampoo dispenser pump! The pump mates perfectly after pulling off the top head and bottom feed tube 😃. Fits clear vinyl tubing with 1/4" ID and 3/8 OD ...without any extra hardware! (Tubing fits over the top and inside the bottom of the Aussie purple pump)
Perfect for Ford F150/F250 btw. Great for pumping out the master too.
Note: Use a pair of pliers to hold the top plunger from moving as you shove the tubing on in place of the Aussie pump's head. I also added some 3M 33+ electrical tape to secure the bottom connection but that's probably overkill/unnecessary.😁

Bonus tip: Use a short funnel in the master to overfill it as you pump fluid from the 4 corners.

That is the best explanation i've seen so far, makes it seem super simple! Also the extra info with the ABS module was something important I wasn't aware of. Thanks a lot!

Had zero knowledge and confidence to do this until now…excellence simplicity of teaching

[mfvarnum]

THANK YOU SIR! incredible insightful video!! I made my bottle out of a pedelyte bottle and took a new lawnmower gas line out my shed, and made me a bleed bottle... worked perfectly! dog on lifesaver!! bless you, sir!!
Update. had to do the process twice in the order the video instructed, 15-20 pumps each wheel. Salute sir 🫡

LOVE that you showed a side-by-side of you pressing on the brakes as the old dirty fluid oozes out. Thanks for that demonstration

[richardfabrizio]

Buddy you did that expertly. I used to flip cars back in the day. You’ve earned new subscriber. Thanks

Buddy, I love your videos, but I feel compelled to correct this common misconception about bleeding the brakes. It is a one-person job, but it’s even simpler than you described. The ONLY reason you need a plastic bottle and hose is to keep your floor clean. The modern master cylinder has residual pressure valves at each exit port. Their purpose is to keep a little pressure in the lines for instant braking. Without them, the driver would need to pump up the brakes for every stop. The RPVs keep air from being sucked back into the system when you open a bleeder. Also, you should NEVER push the brake pedal to the floor, especially on an older vehicle. The normal travel of a master cylinder piston is about 1 to 2 inches. The “untraveled” portion of the master cylinder can get some pitting from sediment in the brake fluid (it gets worse with age). Pushing the brake pedal to the floor rams that rubber piston seal through the pitted portion of the cylinder and usually tears it, and then you need to rebuild or replace the master cylinder. If you open the bleeder and pump the pedal the NORMAL TRAVEL of the brake pedal, the air will be pushed out and the RPVs will keep air from being sucked in. Please try it.

very helpful... Ive known about the 2-man method for a long time, and I started buying 1-man method tools trying different ones to see what i liked (including reverse bleeding). But even my 1991 SE Miata has ABS...I didn't know to use the ABS module as the starting point to determine which corner to start from...I would have gone with the 'DR, PR, PF, DF' typical US vehicle set up. But now I know to actually swap that, and start with the passenger rear first. Thanks!

[bobdelabourer]

Yes. Just did mines as preventative Maintenance. I notice if you open the bleeder valve too much it will leak air. I just turned mine very little. Thanks for this video reminder.

[BabyDuckk]

This is the most well-explained video about brake fluid change I have ever seen. The procedure is clear and instructive.

[mankekyosharigan]

Didn't know about the abs module way of bleeding brakes. Good to know! Handy way to bleeding brakes solo too! Awesome videos man!

[roadstar]

i am doing this tomorrow... i made sure i have the right order ..lucky for me i found a video of my same truck with abs in exact location... well done..

[FightBack-xner]

Thank you. I have a friend with Parkinson's and other health issues. He doesn't have a lot of money so I was able to help him out by using your technique to change his brake fluid.

[sedrickpatre]

This is very helpful compared to many others. ❤❤

[Dani-qcth]

This is the best video I have seen on YouTube so easy to understand and well-documented 👍

[robnation]

A rare, twist-top skinny/tall Gatorade bottle is awesome. It has a mouthpiece on the bottle and the very top part can be removed and then the existing hole can be trimmed by hand with a 3/8" drill bit for 3/8" tubing (air tight!).
Dollar tree had/has these tall/sturdy Gatorade bottles for $1.25 each which is a deal by itself😃

[mikemaxwell]

Thanks for keeping this great video out here. Most informative I have seen so far. Why? Because you took the time to cover things and not assume the average Joe or Jane knew where to look. Respect your good job!

[mikemcardle]

6:35 "Brake pump happy" I can't stop laughing! 🤣 A perfect video! Awesome!
