Thank you Mr. Deuce. Very wonderful comment. Also, thank you for watching the video and such a wonderful comment to be compared to Bob Ross. Just really something really incredible My job on here is to educate and to inspire. I'm trying to like make this to where this is approachable by virtually anyone out there who has some at least basic mechanical knowledge or experience basically my job here is to educate and to inspire again. Thank you very much. God bless

Thank you for the informational video! Can all of the brake pads and rotors be changed without bleeding the brakes? Does the brake fluid need to be topped off at all?

As far as leading the brakes, the only time you need to leave them is when you open the system up, meaning like you're changing a brake hose or a caliper or a wheel cylinder or a master cylinder or a brake line anytime you open one of the take one of those parts off or open the system up like one of the screws then yes, you do need to bleed the system, but if you're just changing out pads rotors, anything like that that is outside of the brake system. That is the external components of the brake system that don't involve the actual brake fluid coming in contact with those parts then no, you do not need to bleed your system if you're just changing out pads and rotors or in the case of drum brakes, shoes and drums then no you do not need to open up the system and bleed it at all. However, do let me stress this topping the brake system off. Really there's no real harm in it. You can do it. I don't necessarily recommend it but there's no real harm in it. The only real bad part is is that when you go to replace your pads and rotors you're going to be compressing the Piston in the caliper and then that will make that fluid. That is in the system. Will have to go somewhere. It'll have to escape the caliper and then go back to the master cylinder when that happens. That means that that full master cylinder is now overflowing with brake fluid. So you're just going to have a big mes I myself when the fluid gets down a little bit low I will note it. I won't notice it, but if it does, if it doesn't continuously get lower then I'm not really worried about it. However, let me also stress this brake fluid is something that needs to be changed out every couple of years. That's the way it's supposed to be. However, there's lots of cases where that's not always. Follow if that happens and the brake fluid isn't changed every couple of years and then in that case yes you do need to bleed the brake system but brake fluid can absorb moisture out of the air and over time it does get the brake fluid can get damaged and worn by all of the use over the years. But if we're talking about just change of pads and rotors then no don't you don't have to bleed your brakes. Now you can go to a garage and a reputable one and have your brake fluid flushed which they will use a machine that will hook up to all your calipers and then all your wheel cylinders and then also to your master cylinder and it will. Basically it will remove all the old brake fluid and then if they will replace that with new brake fluid. But I would like to also say thank you so much for watching and for your comments if you have any other questions you'd like to ask, let me know very much and I bless
