Don't open the bleeder screw unless you're replacing the calipers and need to perform a system bleed. If the fluid system is sealed when you start and there is no dirty fluid in the reservoir, then how do you risk pushing dirty fluid back into the system? When this bleeder is open when you are compressing the pistons, you risk getting air into the system and causing issues. Her method may work but you don't always see or get the full story on why she opened the bleeder. Was it just to replace pads or was there some other issue? Videos are edited for time and to keep the instruction straight forward. Being a certified mechanic, I have replaced a lot of pads without opening the bleeder and have had zero issues. If you have to open the bleeder on the chance of pushing dirty fluid back into the system, then you most likely have dirty fluid already in the system and need to do a flush and fluid replacement. This is why the reservoir cap states to clean before removing to ensure no dirt enters the system. I have seen comments on this video and other video where the bleeder was opened while replacing pads and for whatever reason they introduced air into the system resulting in issues. Leave the dang bleeder closed folks.

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa not sure id be telling people to open the bleeder for no reason at all. yall failed on this one

You’re the first besides me I’ve seen not push the old fluid back into the system. Easy and thorough. Some don’t know the one person way to bleed brakes is open the bleeder and wait, and wait.

Thaks for the video, I followed it to a T and was able to get my front brakes and rotors changed without any issues!

Couldn’t you just open the master cylinder and save yourself the headache of messing with fluid leaking out?

Great video! Also please note you put the inside pad on the outside and the outside pan on the inside. Thank you.

Why did you open the bleeder screw, since there can’t be more fluid than was needed when the breaks were first new. ?

Excellent demonstration and agree with the entire process….

Thank you for posting this very good video. I would like to add just a few comments if I may. I would make sure I change gloves when I touch the brake pads after applying the copper grease to them to avoid having grease on the pads, and I would add a mention to carefully bed the new rotors and pads after installation. There are many videos to explain the procedure.

Excelente explicación, muchas gracias, un saludo desde Chile

If I made the mistake of ordering standard Duty instead of heavy duty for my 2013 XLT with a tow package, can I use them still ? I don't plan on Towing so that's not an issue

I’m pretty sure she’s done it 100 times her system obviously works

I can't be sure my mechanic does this work with the same attention to detail.

I opened the bleeder and did it to much now is barely getting any brakes

Can you replace HD brakes with standard brakes? I’ve seen tons of different stuff on it but no real answers… HD because the tow package but I never do any towing or any big hauling trips. Does it really matter?

didn’t even show putting the pads back and those stupid springs. which is the whole reason i clicked on the video. should be called how to replace rotors only

50 year mechanic, never open the bleeder,just going to allow air in to the brake system .😮😮

What size are these things? 325m or 352mm for the front that is? I got 20" wheels and 2019.

Love your video. One of the best I've seen

Can you push the dual caliber back one by one, or is preferred to do both at the same time ? Cause I hear a lot of different things

Thanks for video it was very helpful😊

Great tutorial! Very informative. Hope I can get by without the torque wrench. Lol! Thanks!

Great, very detailed video!

Where's the 2020 and above video?!?!?!?!?
