One of the best explained maintenance videos I have ever seen. Very well shot and explained perfectly, thank you

I thought my situation was bad because my truck has over 122,000 miles, and I've never changed the fluid before. Thanks to your video, I am about to get it done myself. Awesome work!

The correct bleed order according to Nissan is RP -> FD -> RD -> FP

Furthest away from master cylinder first and then second furthest ect

From the RP to the FD doesn’t sound logical. But Nissan always does diff. Than Honda

Not just Honda, GM also notes furthest from the Cylinder, then next furthest, etc.

great video, very well done and easy to follow

Welp, never gonna pay anybody to do this job again. Thanks for making this!

Awesome! Glad it was helpful!

if... you are changing brake lines and or the master cylinder..... the process is different.....1. disconnect the battery or abs module.... 2. go to right rear (you can use his method) bleed it....3. go to the left front.. bleed.. 4. left rear.. bleed 5. right front bleed 6. connect battery!

Excellent video, detailed step by step instructions that stay on topic. Highly recommend!

That was a dope quality video. Thanks man

Thanks for this video . I’ve got to tackle this project this week , and not having to take the wheels off will make it much easier !

Excellent, clear tutorial. Thanks

More videos! I have an 06 SV 2 wheel drive and it's been one thing after another but I like working on it. This helped a lot!

Outstanding step by step how too. All relevant points are touched on in addition to pitfalls that a layperson mechanic may stumble on. Well Done and appreciated.

Good video - good instructions - shots, etc. Thanks.

U got one subs my friend… i did this coz i have nissan frontier 2016 crew cab… thanks for the informational video. Now i feel confident that i can bleed my cars now by myself. Kudos Sir..

That's was Very good Well done.I Like that Video.

Amazing useful vid. Thanks a lot.

terrific video. Do more Frontier vids thanks.

I did my 02 Mustang pretty much the same way. But I replaced my DOT3 with DOT4. I plan to replace the fluid in my 2014 Xterra with DOT4 also. Like you, I was lax in changing the fluid in both vehicles. I went 20 years and about 68,000 miles on the Mustang with the original brake fluid - it was quite dirty. DOT4 may be overkill but it works fine. And I don't normally use OEM fluids.

Great video

Thanks for all your videos. Very well explained. By any chance, do you have something regarding power seats having problems moving to the front and back?

Great video, well done. One question, how do you flush the ABS unit? The ABS is full of that old brake fluid and needs to be flushed with the rest of the old brake fluid.

I agree it was the best vidio I have seen done.

Thanks! biggest pain for this job is taking all the tires off.

Nice much details explained. I own a 2019 frontier and ky brakes are a bit squishy when pressing but brakes still works fine. I wanna bleed it out but I'm scared I will mess something up but I will try it

Man that was awesome thank you I'm going to try it do you keep fluid in the bottom of the bottle so no air gets introduced to the line through the caliper ?

Used, but still looks amazing for the miles.

Thank you!

Where you start bleeding the brakes on a Frontier is determined where the ABS diverter is located.

What does this mean for a 2014 Nissan frontier ?

Is it true that one should not pump all the way down on the brakes when bleeding to prevent damage to the brake booster seals? I was told this by a Mechanic. Also if Seals are bad in your brake booster and you press down all the way on your brakes little rust particles can get in? Thanks for sharing 🤗🤜🏻🤛🏻

Very comprehensive video and verbal instruction. I am doing this to my truck today. Please Do More Videos. My Nissan Frontier is a 2002 XE 4 cyl with 105,000 miles. Parts are getting harder to obtain. Next project is front end steering mechanism and upper ball joints; all the rubber boots are cracked open around the full circumference due to age and there are no grease fitting or holes to add grease fittings, however there is no vibration when driving and alignment guy says it aligns just fine. Any thoughts on whether I should do or not do a replacement?

Use a ball joint needle and inject grease. Lots of videos on here regarding this.

Thx. Why did you pour new fluid in the bottle?

Nice video!! Where did you get the bleeder bottle, looks very handy!!

Question: The lid says DOT3 brake fluid. Can we use DOT4 in the frontier?

Do this job with engine running or not?

For waiting so long to change the brake fluid, you owe your truck 50 pushups!

The easiest video on bleeding brakes. Please provide link in future on items you recommend. Sometimes it's just too hard to search for them. You had a truck with higher profile so you didn't have problem working without jacks. Not possible for those of us with little cars which are much closer to the ground. I'll have to think about solutions. I'm a young 78 year old woman and I'm due for clean fluid but dealer wants $250.00 and Firestone wants $125.00 for brake flush. I really could save some money but I don't or can't deal with jacks at this time. But great video anyway. I only wish I knew the brand of that brake bleeder bottle.

For the frontiers does it matter if you use OEM fluid? Or can you use a different brand just the same sepc?

Most OEM brake fluid is made by the same suppliers of the parts store products, mabye save for some of the Euro manufacturers. Check the MSDS of the OE fluid to find it’s manufacturer. Work GM parts, last I checked the OE DOT3 fluid is rebranded from whoever manufactures Prestone these days, Union Carbide then Allied-Signal then Honeywell last I kept track

Be careful with the clear turkey baster. Some types of clear plastic get destroyed by brake fluid. Ask me how I know this. To be safe, get the translucent white turkey baster. The color should be similar to the brake fluid bottle that you are using.

When your pumping the brakes to bleed them, is the engine on or off? Thanks

brake fluid test strips? that used fluid wasn't "bad". I've seen darker on fewer miles. Pumping the brakes with the bleeder open; isn't that taboo? Did you just touch the pedal with an 1/8"-1/4" push; as anything more could possibly introduce air into the master cylinder?

@gman1185

That's why he is using the special bottle. It's designed to not let air enter the system if used correctly. I always pump up the brakes a little then open the valve so there is a positive flow. Once the rubber tube is filled with fluid there is no way to introduce air.

At what miles you did fluid change?

The video shows my first brake fluid change on this truck. The fluid has about 193,000 miles on it. Nissan recommends changing the fluid way before that.

If you have to ask questions after watching this video, then you have no business doing the job

I appreciate you making this video, but if you're going to make an instructional video please provide accurate information. There is no debate on the correct order. The Nissan factory service manual has the correct order. It is the only manual that should be followed. The reason for the order of RR, FL, RL, FR has to do with the split line system. It is in place so that if a brake line is damaged while driving, you still have 2 brakes available to stop. The Hayne's manual uses a lot of generic information that is not necessarily specific to your vehicle. The best part of the factory service manual, is that it can easily be accessed for free online. I understand that taking off the wheels take a bit of time, but it has some great benefits as well. You have more room to work, can check your pads, grease your pins, inspect other compenents, and rotate your tires at the same time for only a few extra minutes.

Wrong order for a split system. Only order that matters us nissans recommended order.
