No need to remove bleeders and seal w/ teflon. yes, a little air will enter the loose bleeder and appear in the extracted fluid stream. However no air enters the fluid in the system, so air bubbles are harmless. This will save a lot of needless work.

Before wrapping a tape around the bleeding screw, it's a good idea to submerge the tape in the brake fluid to test n make sure that nothing in the tape dissolve in the brake fluid.

Even if you're not strictly underneath the car, jack stands are still an excellent investment.

I have done a lot of brakes, on a LOT of vehicles. I can totally vouch for this method! It's saved me hours. The trick is to ONLY crack the bleeder when you have a vacuum. This way any air that sneaks past the bleed fitting gets sucked out before it enters your brake system! Works like a charm on hydraulic clutch systems too. I don't bother with teflon tape its a good idea though. I have a lazier way, I coat the threads with #2 Non Hardening Permatex in the squeeze tube. Makes a nice sticky seal on the threads and they don't corrode stuck. I do it to any new caliper or wheel cylinder before I install it.

Nice video. Surprised nobody mentioned that you must keep the reservior topped off via bleeding so you dont suck air into the system and have to start over

this guy gave you information on how to bleed your brakes. it is very helpful to people that never did it before. why all the BS about every one theory on how to do it ?

Excellent video. Very thorough explanation. I prefer reading than trying to understand someone's accent or dialect. Thanks!

I keep a bottle of used brake fluid about half full and use it to bleed brakes by myself. I put a piece of vacuum line on the bleeder screw and submerge the other end in the used brake fluid. Top off the reservoir, loosen the bleeder and give the brakes a couple pumps. Tighten the bleeder, top off the reservoir and do it again. It flushes the old out and replaces it with new. As long as you keep the tube submerged in brake fluid and the reservoir from emptying, all air will be pushed out and you will have fresh brake fluid. Not a bad idea, anyway as glycol-ether based brake fluids are hygroscopic.

Nice job on this no-b.s. step-by-step video. I didn't know they made mityvacs that could reverse. I have the cheaper plastic one that otherwise looks a lot like yours.

Don’t use tape, the factory didn’t for a reason, fix the leak instead and don’t open the screw too much. Don’t use those black connectors cause they leak. Put the hose right on the bleed screw.

Wrong,friend!!! IF you open the screw just 1/2 of a turn, AIR GETS THROUGH. You DO NEED the teflon tape; i always leave it on, the threads NEVER rust again.

Thanks for making and posting the video. I hate reading manuals. LOL I just remembered I have one of those pumps I bought to test some vacuum diaphragms last year. Just replaced my rear calipers on my truck and realized I could bleed the brakes with it and change out all the old BF too at the same time. My old calipers had all sorts of rusty looking crap in them so changing the brake fluid and bleeding out the air at the same time like this looks like a good idea.

Man, that is perfect; i mean, the WHOLE video is great,you cover EVERY aspect of it............ if no Vac pump, you can hook up a hose to the intake manifold vacuum, and idle the engine(most diesel won't work because most do not have a butterfly, just some do have one...); BUT, you still need a SEALED small bottel JUST LIKE IN THE VIDEO so that the brake fuid does not go into the engine, or it will ruin your Catalyst and the O2 sensor.

@4:56 you are putting your teflon tape in the wrong way... it should be put in the same way the threads are, so avoid the tape to unwrap from the threads when start screwing...

Nice sweater! Thanks for the video.

it is the best brake bleeding film on youtube.

I love this thing…used it today for a brake job in a Sienna.

This is how to make instructional edited videos - Nicely Done

I bought a Mity Vac in the mid 80"s, BUT, it wasn't for a car. I was director, back then, of a maternity dept at a large teaching hospital. I had a fair amount of experience in the delivery room, so when the sales rep came to show me a new plastic forceps, part disposable and the tool reusable. Cost was reasonable, around $100 for the vac, and I believe the individual suction forceps were aprox $10 each in case lots. After a little push back from a few OB's , it was accepted and became more widely used since it caused less damage to the newborns skull. Moving ahead 10 years or so, I was in the auto parts store and saw the Mity Vac and its new use for car brakes. I guess the company recognized the limited sales for a disposable forceps, and cut the price to 25% of original, and made it non sterile and for a car.

good vid man, i like how you use the teflon tape around the bleed nipple thread :)

Wrong. My car specifies the front driver side first. It depends on the car.

very good video, easy to understand

1. Work from furthest wheel first (from master cylinder) this will usually be a rear wheel on the opposite side of the steering wheel 2. Make sure to remove reservoir cap to allow trapped air to escape and take out as much old fluid as possible, refill reservoir before bleeding so that fluid level doesn't drop below seal which would allow air to enter the system 3. Keep an eye on fluid level in the reservoir as you are bleeding the brakes and top up as you go to ensure it doesn't drop below the seal and allow air to enter the system. 4. Brake fluid is hygroscopic (absorbs water and moisture) so try to work fast and keep the lid on the brake fluid bottle between topping up. 5. Brake fluid is corrosive so make sure to wear gloves and clean any spills immediately, it can eat through metal and any unprotected surfaces will strip paint if it's not cleaned off quickly. 6. Demonstration in the video is not far off but the Teflon tape is not necessary in my opinion, be careful not to damage the threads on the bleed valves, don't over tighten, a quarter turn with the spanner after hand tightened is more than enough. 7. Also if you aren't used to taking off and putting wheels back on use a torque wrench and the correct pattern for lug nuts to ensure they are centred and secure. 8. Jacks are only to lift vehicles and aren't suitable for supporting the load of the vehicle for extended periods of time, make sure to use a jack stand. 8. Don't forget to pump the brakes at the end and check the brake fluid level. 9. Brakes should feel stiff. 10. Do not press brake pedal all the way to the bottom while bleed valve is open as this can cause the seals in the breaking system to flip inside out. 11. If you get any brake fluid on the discs clean it of with brake cleaner 12. Test brakes after a fluid change, drive slow to begin with, just to check they are working.

The part where your taking out the bleeder screw and adding Teflon taps, does the fluid come out one you remove the bleeder nipple / screw ?

Which do you like better, the Motive or this Mityvac hand-pump? Which is easier?

Thank you sir!

hands down the BEST video on how to do this on youtube. i was completely clueless on this process till i saw this video. GREAT JOB.

Yes this all works very well for a system with a little air in it or if you just want to flush out the old fluid but how about a system that is absolutely dry ? I can't seem to get any fluid to come through . I pump up the gun release the bleeder and air comes out but no fluid at all . Again and again just air ! I think I need to reverse bleed or something .

I can see that you have out in a lot of effort. Hats off to you for wanting to work on your own car. I have written a few tips off the top of my head. I hope that they will help you. But, most of all I would recommend that you do 3 things. Please don't be offended. I really don't mean to upset you. Change a few things and you would have a good job, well done. It won't cost you a penny and it could save you money. Better still, you will be safe. Good luck! 1, watch a video on how to safely jack up your car. I can't help worrying that you are going to get hurt. And, I really wish you well. 2, watch a video and learn how to do the job that you are going to do before you start it. Read about it. Go through it in your head. Then enjoy doing it. 3, watch a few videos about safety. Protective clothing. Gloves. Goggles and so on. Avoid getting chemicals onto your skin. When you get it onto your hands it goes onto your tools. Then, back onto your hands. Brake fluid is nasty stuff and it gets everywhere. Don't slosh brake fluid about. It tends to splash little drops. They can go a fair way. It's really not nice if it goes into an eye. If you leave the bottom wheel bolt until last, the wheel won't keep tipping over. Pour your brake fluid more slowly and from as low as possible. Then you won't fill it full of bubbles. Don't remove the brake nipples. Just crack them open until fluid runs freely. A ring spanner won't slip off the nipple so easily and it will be sitting there ready for you to close the nipple. I'm not even going to talk about the PTFE tape. Don't trust a jack. Really. Don't trust it at all. Axle stands. Large blocks of wood. Anything solid. And for crying out loud, put some gloves on. You're like a walking health hazard. Start with the longest pipe. Finish with the shortest. I'm sure that others will have told you most if not all of what I have said. Think about this. There will be a flood of people worrying about your safety. If one person tells you....you can ignore it. If a lot of people tell you the same things...maybe you should listen. Best wishes to you. You shouldn't have to do the job twice. Do it once. Do it right. Then you won't have to do it again.

so was your brake pedal holding its original position, nice and firm? or did it have the same, ole "spongy feeling" when you drove the car? meaning that the brake pedal traveled 1/3rd of the way down to stop the car.

@bnelson4575

8 жыл бұрын

+Jeff Fuehr A spongy pedal means you have air in the system. Find the source and fix it.

If your car has ABS brakes turn on the ignition the activate the ABS sensor, otherwhise you can have a faulty Anti Lock Brake system, it won't work properly. Furthermore I learned always to bleed the longest line first, mostof the time right rear brake, then left rear, right front and as last left front. This is for left hand drive cars. Right hand drive the order will be left rear, right rear, left front and as last one right front. Dictated by the position of the master cilinder. And yes, always ware gloves.

There is a school that prefers nearest first so you don't drake grubby fluid through the system - I too would also be unhappy with bleed nipple removal and putting stick tape on in case it left residue - maybe a bit picky but brakes is brakes

it looks like someone took a whiz on your tire

Nice video but it's recommended to bleed the furthest wheel (typically right rear) then the opposite side front which is on the same brake circuit (two ccts on a car). Then bleed the left rear and front right for the other brake circuit. Never used these kits but suspect there is a pressure release valve for any refilling etc given the container is quite small to stop any unnecessary brake fluid spraying. How does it compare to the standard no-return valve and hose method?

@Philscbx

10 жыл бұрын

Further is correct - most master cylinders are based on two chambers- Front & Rear, not cross mixed. You'll see two ports enter the Master Cyl from Res. The first motion of brake pedal always applies rear brake circuit first - the 2nd 1/2 of travel applies the front. This controls skid basics. When rear brakes see contact pressure - then fronts are next. So bleed both rears - then fronts in order of distance from master. The biggest problem - rear drum brake shoes not set correct. If shoes do not make solid contact before first 1/2 pedal travel - then fronts do all the work - hence Warped Hot Spotted Rotors. Felt as shudder in the pedal - making hard stops. Hot spotted rotors are now junk - they cannot be cut true again. This is why 4 wheel Disc Brakes are the best feature. Vacuum Bleeding can lead to weak/soft pressure - So always do a final pressure bleed in the end by brake pedal. Vacuum stretches trapped air bubble - usually at a fitting up near the master. Anti-Seize applied to bleeder threads is the saving grace to insanity - when they rust solid & break off. But we deal with it with torch to not happen.

Teflon tape on threads is just better protection from seizing in long term conditions. Can also prevent fluid leaking past sloppy fit of threads during bleeding, found on remanufactured castings, but has no affect other than that. The bleeder has a tapered seat that seals the system. But usually anti-seize applied to threads is the standard protection used to prevent breeders from breaking off turned cold. When They are frozen - small tip torch is necessary heating the housing at the bleeder. Over 50 years restoring brake systems, when parts are no longer made for old vehicles, the goal is prevent damage at all costs. Cheers

Teflon tape doesn't "create a seal" on the threads, believe it or not, it's used to lubricate threads so you can get bolts/screws more tight to create a seal, mainly used for plumbing when rubber gaskets are using in plumbing. You need to buy thread sealant to seal your threads, not teflon tape

To be honest I would have thought the same, but I used my mighty vac for the first time today, and depending on the quality of the bleeder and casting threads 4 wraps would be best. I've always bled brakes the old fashioned way, and I'm tired of it. Happened to find one on sale and snagged it. At issue is the vacuum. As per directions you pump it 15 times, which is around 20psi. Sloppy threads leak. I wrapped the first bleeder twice, and greased the tip for the vac fitting. Lots of tiny bubbles even when bleeder snug. Time wasted. Second bleeder 3 wraps + grease. Way better, some fine tuning and was done quick. Re-bled first fitting after loosening and adding silicone grease to the threads. It sealed it enough for a proper bleed, but next time I'm using four wraps.

I did it,I wouldn't say it's nessacarily clean though.

Almost right! a) You're putting FOUR wraps of teflon on an area that may heat-up to 600F in use- the fitting is designed like a 'pipe' fitting; boola teflon can cause a failure IMHO. b) Start with the furthest wheel from the master cyclinder, and continue inward from their. c) Note that brake fluid comes in SEVERAL colors, eg. red, green, yellow. This is for a reason: it allows you to visually see the new fluid when you (pump) the bleed, and can stop when the color changes. d) Before doing anything, visually inspect the lid seal(s) and contents of the master reservoir. If there is any wierdness, pump it out first, and wipe it clean/dry... and add new fluid. Smell the lid seal: if it has a faint varnish smell to it, it is severely compromised. Brake fluid is anhydrous (that is, those common fluids with a DOT spec below DOT5) , meaning it SUCKS water right out of the atmosphere. (Storing old brake fluid can allow it to suck in moisture too; discard it) The water first mixes into the brakefluid (dangerously lowering it boiling point, such that 'vapor lock' occurs when you need your brakes the most), and with increasing concentrations, can creat a gel-like substance at the bottom of the master reservoir. Don't mix Dot5 with Dot3 or Dot4.

My old high school shop teacher was quite a character and loved to put things in strange ways. His way of putting that DOT5 wasn't for use in commuter vehicles was "high performance women and high performance cars both use silicone." After reading your educated post, I'm sure you know about DOT5 and silicone.

Someone coreect me if I'm wrong but each time he remove next bleed valve he introduce air to system and bleeding of previous wheel becomes pointless? At 2:47 you can even see a lot of air leftover in hose and he "finished" that wheel...
