Great idea. I use a 100ml syringe with a section of hose (no needle) to draw fluid from the bleeder screw. Pulling the plunger creates suction and the syringe holds the fluid.

I've been doing this for years now. Still remember the remark from the pharmacist about the price of those large syringes... I was like: meh its still cheaper and easier than going the garage or screwing around with only a spanner.

Same here. Also to fill up an empty brake line from the caliper end.

Do that in reverse. Fill the syringe with brake fluid, attach it to the bleeder screw with tubing, remove the master cylinder cap, and push the plunger. The air in the system is pushed up and out through the master cylinder reservoir. It can take a bigger syringe to do some vehicles that way. But, it should work fine for bikes.

Yes. I just turned on notifications for the first time

Wow Im totally stealing that when I need to flush my brakes. GENIUS!

You should teach people that aren't mechanically inclined. You're a natural teacher. Can. Tell you find joy in sharing knowledge

Literally just spent 6 hours a week ago bleeding a fresh set of brakes lines from a 3 caliper ATV system. Cursing the entire time. Thank you for saving me (future) frustration.

Your idea worked great. I purchased a brake bleeder kit many years ago and it is a hand operated vacuum pump and has a reservoir to catch the fluid when bleeding brakes and it also works great changing the old brake fluid in cars or motorcycles.

"This is a great day because the sun came up again" while listing problems he has to fix is simply how life is supposed to be lived.

You're a large part of the reason I bought a 1986 Yamaha Radian as my first bike a couple months ago. I've been working on it and I love the process, can't wait to ride.

Good job and thank you for putting out another video in short time. Keep it up and I think you'll like the results. You're one of the first KZread channels I found and honestly still one of the best.

I've been loving these videos recently. A video a week is an upload schedule I can get used to. Keep it up guys!

OMG!!! I love you guys! You REALLY are following through on making videos! I hope this encourages you guys!!! YOU encourage ME!

You look so happy about this and I love it. I love seeing your enthusiasm in videos!

Really love your vids guys! been your follower for almost 2 year now , im proud you keep going at your pace!

There has been various tools on the market that does what you did for years to bleed brakes from hand pumps "mighty vac" to electric air pumps that vacuum the air out. I'm a retired motorcycle technician from May of 1979. What worked for me when a brake system was completely dry from rebuilding it or had a lot of air in it. I used a clean squeezable bottle with a screw on nipple with the tip cut off. I would feed a hose from the inside of the nipple outward a few inches, then fill the bottle with clean brake fluid, with the brake reservoir on the bike being empty, I would attach the hose to the bleeder screw, open it up and squeeze the bottle to force fluid and air up to the reservoir. When no air bubbles came out I would then remove the hose and bottle and attach another hose to the bleeder with the other end into a container and then bleed it the old school way by pumping the brake pedal or lever. It would usually only take about five minutes or so. Great video.

You 2 have a wonderful chemistry together. I love the content y'all produce, it's very informative and entertaining!

The only channel I have ever commented on all the way from Australia you are a legend.... Keep it up

I like this alternative method, however. I've found the reverse fill method works great. Open the reservoir. Attach a large syringe filled with brake fluid with the same (although shorter) vinyl tube to the bleeder. Slowly inject the fluid into the system. Note, it helps to have another syringe to drain the reservoir if needed. This method is great because it eliminates little air pockets on twin piston calipers. Likewise, you could have used the water bottle method. Always good to have a few tricks for different situations though.

Love the live videos!! Me and my friend Aden Jones have watched all the Jennies Garage episodes. Aden is 15 and has CP, he is confined to a wheelchair but he is one heck of a technician. He gets so excited when he gets a notification that new video is out. Keep up the great work!!

Glad to see you're back , love the channel.

Thanks for these videos! They’ve been super helpful in my own bike maintenance. Got my front brake working again the other day thanks to your video on it!😁 This will definitely be a handy video to have in the future I’m sure. Thanks for your hard work and effort into this videos. Very enjoyable, funny and just a great laugh watching them!😆

You guys are great. I really feel as if you're making these videos for us, your viewers, so thank you for your time :)

Glad to see y'all back to making videos missed you guys

Hey guys, if y'all remember, I picked up the spare yz250f head you had on Ebay from when yall salvaged the 250 enduro bikes!! That was over 2 years ago and I'm still following! I don't get to watch every video, but there's still great value in these videos! Keep it up!!

Awesome vid. Glad to have you guys back even for 10 minutes a week.

You two are great. Thanks for the smiles and great information.

And here I was thinking that you'd use it to reverse bleed and actually pump INTO the caliper. Well played sir.

I have to say. Love you guys Videos. Love the way you get along and laugh with her. Very enjoyable.

I just bled my brakes last week, I saw some (too) expensive hand pumps so we did it the slow old fashioned way. I needed this in my life

You’re the reason I bought a motorcycle! After binge watching all these amazing videos I decided to buy a 1984 Honda nighthawk. Thank you for your inspiration!!

Just got my used hand soap bottle out of the bin now it’s going into my toolbox.you are the best love your channel

works only with full soap bottle, you know, for cleaning the pump of any brake-fluid afterwards... come on, that was the best part...

Love this format much better than the no-edits style.

I have never had a Jennies garage video be so relevant to my current struggle. I was litterly just struggling with with my brakes, so much i took a break to check my subscriptions and WHAM, you just solved my problem. Cheers

I got my 1990 Honda XR100R working again after like 8 years of sitting in a garage cause of quarantine and inspiration from this channel

Great Video. I really enjoy watching these after a long day. They cheer me up.

That was actually ingenious! Ive been a master tech for 20 years and never thought of that one... Nice. Granted, I have tools to do that, but for people at home this is great.

Hi guys, I don't want to be THAT GUY but I think it worked because, well, every system bleeds itself if a) the reservoir is higher than the highest point the fluid has to go b) the reservoir lid is open and c) the bleed screw is open. That way ambient air pressure should bleed the system. The reason why people are using all sorts of procedures and gizmos is to speed up the process. But then again, I could be totally wrong and you just single handedly eliminated the brake bleeding gizmo industry. Love your channel btw, great you are putting out more videos.

THAT WAS AMAZING !!!! Best motorcycle tip ive ever seen!, on that note i just love your content, you both are such a good team! And i love your positive approach to everything!. Thanks for reading!!.

Glad your back! Love the content!

If I try this on my channel I will be giving you the credit and shout out. Love your work brother. :) The dad jokes cracked me up at the end 😂😂😂

I click the like button before I even watch your videos. I just already know. And, once again as always, I was not let down. Keep 'em coming Jake and Jen!

This is just awesome! How can you not love this channel?

I had the opportunity to try your method on a Chinese scooter. The front bleeder was missing and the whole system was dry. The soap pump didn’t work as easily for me as it did for you but it did pull the fluid through. I do now have front breaks and it was an easy fix. Keep the content coming!

Great trick. I tried it tonight on my bike and all be damned it worked like a charm. Your one clever individual I must say. Thanks for the tip.

I have been watching your videos for months, and every time I learn something new, Even my wife, who should be kept VERY, VERY and I mean VERY far away from any tools has started watching it with me. My opinion on the questions you asked about doing your recordings differently....I think stuff it! Its good to see you guys are normal people, not fake and not acting for the camera! Keep doing what your doing, BUT....do it MORE, we want MORE!!!! o ahead, break something so we can watch you fix it!! Warm Regards from South Africa!!

Loving these frequent uploads guys keep it up

Love the videos as usual guys. Keep them coming!

dont open the bleeder too far. air can travel around unsealed threads.

@benzzoy

3 жыл бұрын

Yup. I suspect most of the air he saw was from the unsealed threads. There can't possibly be that much air inside the brake line and still have a working brake.

Oh man! The timing of this is so good. Be trying this when change rotors and calipers. Maybe try a flush this way. You are awesomeness personified!

Wish you guys would start posting more again, love your videos. Always checking for new uploads.

Outstanding my man, great idea. Thank you for sharing it and your accomplishments with everybody.

Good video! Thanks for taking the time to teach me something new. I've heard about this method but never seen it in practice and never heard of it being done with a soap bottle pump 🤔. Again, good video!

Last month I spent so long bleeding the brakes by pumping with the brake handle and it made me dread having to do it in the future again. But this idea is great! I'll try it next time for sure. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for keeping the videos coming guys!

Love the more frequent videos. Keep it up, IMHO.

i used this on a Rokon 2x2 front and rear brakes and a crf 250rx front, it works but mine was left a little spongey, after your trick i used my method to get the last little bit out, very good idea!

That is genuinely genius....Great lateral thinking and great work thanks

Just discovered your channel. You have found yourself the perfect woman. I love her willingness to try something new.

Genius!! My dirt bike brakes have been needing a bleed for some time, so I’m going to try this method...

I love you guys! Thank you. I signed in to KZread for the first time just so i can follow you and comment this. Will log out again now. And bleed my brakes. And the brakes of all my neighbors.

I'll literally watch you two do anything. Even if I'm not interested in the subject, I still am entertained.

That is a great way to bleed brakes! There is nothing stopping me from trying that. Thanks for another great video!

I love you guys, and love that you are doing more videos!

Best tip ever saved me a few hours keep these great videos coming 🤙

Holy moly 🤯👀 GENIUS! I will definitely use this nice revolution idea next time ! :D Nice video! Greetings from Germany ! My brother and I loves your content ;)

Left me with a smile on my face. Thanks guys!!

I love your videos but everytime I watch them I find myself wanting a new project to work on...keep them coming :)

Loving these uploads

Man I love your Videos, keep up the great work 🤙🏼

I bought a non runner '79 Yamaha IT175 yesterday, thanks to the dirty hand inspiration and carb cleaning videos found at Jennie's Garage I got that baby smokin' today.

Wow! You are brilliant. I truly love your videos. I really enjoy watching

Love every video. Thank you for documenting your genius with the rest of us

That’s genius! I overthought on how I could make a homemade bleeder and used a pump from a fog machine but this soap pump method looks like it works WAY faster and also doesn’t need electrical power.

I really like the gold rims on that Sherpa. Great video!

I’m gonna try this method. Thanks for posting great content! 👊🏻🔥

I'm going to try this next time I bleed brakes. Thanks for the idea!

Will do this for sure. Fantastic ingenuity.

Making solutions to problems. You're a genius.

this is a brilliant idea. love your videos also love when you said these are the brakes

Cool tip. The more content, less worried about the style format works for me! 👍😃

Back in my Kawasaki ZX6 days I used a big syringe to do the same thing and it worked great. I like the creative use of the hand pump though!

THIS IS GENIUS!! you could do this on bikes with hydraulic clutches too. Wish I knew this trick when i was having trouble with mine, I know people who use syringes (without the needle type) and clear fuel hose but this is way better then that in my opinion

Ahhh another lovely video. Thank you for your amazing banter

This is awesome. Cool idea, great to watch it put to the test and then there's the bonus of success. Quality jokes, had me laughing and the P.S. I thought of some more jokes was great too. Great video, thank you for the high quality content!

Just bled my brakes a few weeks ago for the first time, and im so glad i didn't go buying a bleeding kit. Definitely doing this next time!

You should be part of the space program! Haha

Great idea Jake!! That REALLY Works!! Genius.

Great video camera girl. And I liked the brake bleeder hack. Cheaper than a malti vac.

Brilliant. I had the same idea with a slightly bigger pump. Problem was the capacity of the pump was much bigger than the resivoir. So one full pump was enaugh to drain the resivoir ad suck in air. This works way better.

Wow, entertaining and educational. Keep it up guys. Love it.

Awesome video. Great idea! Keep them coming

Peace be upon you. I have seen almost all the videos, and I enjoy seeing you with your sense of humor while doing your work sincerely, as well as in your ways of thinking about things and creating alternative and simple things and how to save money with success and success in your worldly and other life.🤲👍😘

Love the videos also that invention was genius I love watching theses videos 👍

This old toney had a similar rear brake problem and eventually ended up finding the brake rotor itself worn to just beyond specs. It was enough to make the rear binders ineffective and that’s what mattered and fixed it.

A man of craftiness

I think 3 weeks in a row now, very good work!

Keep the videos flowing!!!
