    Thanks for all the help. It's awesome that you included a version with less tools. Sometimes I find videos like this where every step looks doable then they bust out a fancy tool I don't have and move on to the next step. A lot of us watching these videos aren't mechanics and are working on our car because we can't afford the shop, so I really appreciate the low budget version.

    Great tutorial, & the home made brake bleeding plastic bottle is a good idea (for those who don't know about it). The only thing I would have mentioned is to first fill the bottle about 1/4 full of brake fluid, & make sure the bleeder hose is submerged in the fluid, to prevent air from being drawn into the brake lines during brake pedal release while bleeding brakes. Otherwise, very meticulous work & great enthusiasm!🙂

    Great video, Faye! One mention on the homemade bleeder set up, especially for solo brake bleeds/flushes. It's a good idea to make sure the hose reaches all the way to the bottom of the bottle as well as having enough brake fluid covering the end of the hose before getting started. This prevents those pesky air bubbles from sneaking back up the line.

    Using the line wrench is a great idea. An old guy here, and my dad taught me to use a line wrench on the bleeder valves when I was a teen back in the '70s. Also, to be sure to use a 6 point socket if using a socket. Those bleeders are kind of delicate and are easily rounded off with an open end wrench or a 12 point socket. These videos are true tutorials in that they are full of useful information. So much so, that I often have to rewind in order to catch all of the tips being presented.

    Good video that covered some great points. I've been bleeding and flushing brake systems for over 30 years and I managed to learn something I didn't know watching this. For the last five or so years I've migrated to a pressure-feed system that introduces fresh brake fluid into the master cylinder reservoir under constant pressure (about 10 psi) and allows me to collect the old fluid from each caliper by just opening the bleeder. Although it costs more and requires a bit more care and concentration, I've found that for me it produces the best results faster and more reliably. But, the bottom line is, ALL the methods you described will do the job, the key is to change your fluid before it corrodes and damages the expensive components in your system (like the ABS pump).

    I’ve been using those 1 person bleeders with the little cone shaped end you push into the bleed valve. I guess that’s not a good way of doing it. I like the idea of the one way valves, though I’d not heard of them until now. Thanks for that - and the better way of getting your friend to help. The way I was shown years ago seems over the top and uses more fluid, also too aggressive. Always happy to learn a new/better way!

    I was taught never to leave the valve open like you did at 8:30 we were told air would suck back in and sit at the top. They taught us to close the valve when fluid was coming out, part of the reason we used line wrenches rather than sockets. Of course back in those days we were taught to bleed into a rag if we didn't have a hose. Then you could use the fluid soaked rag to polish the chrome bumpers...different times I suppose.

    Little suggestion for the techs up here in the rust belt. Especially on an older ride like this one. We experience this phenomenon know as rust. You may want to four post a vehicle on Jack stands and pull the wheels, simply because those bleeder screws can have and will stick. Having the extra hand room to use a long 10mm or longer ratchet will save you sooooo much cursing. Welcome to the “Wonderful World of Corrosion!” Oh, an pump them first. I dunno about stirring up anything, but I want the calipers and cylinders loaded to take out as much old brake fluid as possible. Especially with the “buddy system” technique it’ll ensure you get a solid pedal and fresh fluid across the board. Nice work as always ma’am!
