One step not mentioned…Spray the inside of the brake nipples with brake cleaner then dry them out with compressed air before putting the rubber nipple caps back on.

Great Danny, will try soon to flash brake system. Thanks!!!

Made my own brake bleeder from a video I found on YT. It's so so. But the one you used seems way more convenient and it has the magnet to attach to the car. Thanks for sharing, you have good videos

Welcome, I appreciate your support

I love the turkey baster idea. I've always used a large syringe. But the plunger tends to degrade over time, so I have to keep buying them. The turkey baster seems like it would hold up longer, plus you can pretty much operate it with one hand, as opposed to the syringe which you kind of can use one handed, but it's not nearly as easy.

Great video. Instead of a turkey baster, I use a battery acid filler - you find these in battery accessory section of auto parts stores. Bulb has a bit more capacity.

appreciate your input, great recommendation, I added it to the description on what to buy to do the job

No it doesn’t damage the master cylinder, yes, that is correct 8 time pushing the pedal is sufficient, the main thing is not to run out of brake fluid in the master cylinder as you’re flushing, once clean fluid comes out you can stop, it could only be 4 times

Danny i love the video. Thanks for making this. I saw another method where you can use a vacumm extractor tool to attach to the bleeder valve and pump the trigger to extract/suck out the brake fluid from the line into a container. Don't need to go into vehicle and pump pedal. Not sure which method I'll use at this time. Question: What product did you use to epoxy your garage floor? Did you DIY that ? or have company come in and do it for you? I'd be interested in you doing a video on how you did your floor if you did it yourself?Thankyou!

Hi Danny, I have Honda Civic X 2018 model and i am planning to flush it's brake system for the first time. Do i need to push the brake pedal all the way down, wouldn't that damage master cylinder seals? Further, what i got from your video is that u pushed pedal 11, 8, 7, 8 times from farthest to nearest. Hope to hear from u soon. Thanks

Thanks for the video… can you please make video on how to diagnose hard steering wheel ?

Hi Danny, Nice video...! Kindly help me out with following query; Before replacing front and read brake pads, callipers' pistons are pressed inwards and fluid level in reservoir comes to max level subject to there isn't any leak in system. Do we need to bleed air in that case? Thanks.

@dannysdiygarage

Жыл бұрын

short answer is no, check out this video I did on replacing pads, around the 3 minute mark I explain this process about pushing your old fluid back into your reservoir, kzread.info/dash/bejne/pIeHl62Jj5XTfLw.html

My caliper bleeders are snapped off thanks Midwest salt

Great video thanks Dan. Is there any specific torque to tighten the bleeder screws? Also my son’s car has rear drum brakes. I assume the process is still the same but the different size wrench mentioned at the end? Thanks in advance!

Hi,Thanks for the video. Im from Malaysia and i have a 2012 Honda Civic 2.0s (9th Gen). The honda brake fluid that i will be purhasing is 1Litre. Would i need more than a litre of fluid to do a proper flush on all four tyres? Hope to hear from you soon.

Probably a good idea, however it will work either way

I'm all for using OEM parts and fluids but any name brand brake fluid will work just as well and be a lot cheaper. Honda doesn't make their own brake fluid.
