3 Dudes Try To Bleed Brakes For The First Time On a Porsche

Bleeding the brakes on a dual master cylinder setup is a family affair. It took three of us to get all the air out. The custom brake system is now complete and fully functioning! Multiple leaks were discovered unfortunately in areas I didn't expect! #Porsche911 #BrakeBleed

Over 50 years ago, my Dad taught me how to bleed brakes. Open, down, closed, up. Memory lane. 👍👍

[@GarageTimeAutoResto]

Nice, Alex really wants to learn how to drive a manual transmission. So hopefully we can get that soon.

[@cynthiaperazzo4417]

I Remember bleeding the brakes on the 356 before these helpers were available to help!!!

[@roundtailrestoration]

More important to stop than to go. Good use of the local help!

[@GarageTimeAutoResto]

They are good for something aren't they?

[@rodbarton2354]

Tom, a quick note to let you know I enjoy your videos. I own a 911 and look forward to each new episode.

[@GarageTimeAutoResto]

Awesome! Thanks. I'm going to try do another episode before Saturday.

[@The9meister]

Car restoration is like house renovation, always a obsticle to get in your way, soldier on.

[@GarageTimeAutoResto]

So true, never a dull moment

[@dannoyes4493]

I don't think there's a single older Jaguar or Porsche that is roadworthy without the aid and assistance of J-B Weld. One of your best. Thanks.

[@GarageTimeAutoResto]

Ha ha, true.

[@chrisrudling8420]

Hey Tom, you don't have to take the calipers off to fit the pads, just remove the pad retainers and slide the pads in then replace the retainers - super easy!

[@GarageTimeAutoResto]

Hey man, thanks. I did not know that. Even better!

[@chrisrudling8420]

@@GarageTimeAutoResto When you do the pad retainer bolts back up do not torque them, just pinch tight. if you torque them they can put too much load on the caliper and cause the pad to bind.

[@GarageTimeAutoResto]

Gotcha thanks. Brilliant!

[@olivergarthwaite8908]

I think I started apprenticing as a brake bleeder for my dad when I was about 8 years old.... haha. One thing we did differently was to keep the bleed hose submerged in a small amount of clean/fresh brake fluid in the glass jar we would bleed into. This prevented sucking any air back into the system if you weren't quick on the wrench when the pedal was released. My helpers are a lot younger than yours (3 & 6) but they are out there almost every day working on my 911T with me! Thanks for the videos.

[@GarageTimeAutoResto]

Brake bleeding seems to be a right of passage for all generations. Good idea about submerging the brake hose.

[@polloloci21]

Tom, I have to stop watching these - or my red car is going to end up yellow!! Haha. Love the color. Great work. Thanks

[@GarageTimeAutoResto]

Well the world needs mustard AND ketchup 🤣

[@Hangin_With_Shane]

Tom, glad the bleeding process went well! Only minor issues and I enjoyed the refresher since it's been years since I have bled brakes with my Dad! Priceless moments!!

[@GarageTimeAutoResto]

This old school method still works!

[@XiraArien]

I definitely like pressure bleeding- it also to only thing working on modern cars and you can do it solo :) - I think it is easier to do brake lines in copper instead of stainless. Nice to have all the brake system sorted out. Almost ready to ride

[@GarageTimeAutoResto]

Cool, yes, almost ready to roll😀

[@toddatstone_city_outlaw8714]

Laughed hard at 14:30 seeing Alex on his phone while you're trying to bleed the brakes. Damn phones LOL As Like to say, no different than anyone else house.

[@GarageTimeAutoResto]

Ugh, phone usage is the "other" pandemic we are all experiencing.

[@toddatstone_city_outlaw8714]

@@GarageTimeAutoResto As I like to say, you have nothing special at your house, we experience it at our house too. LOL

[@DoubleRRestorations]

Very nice Tom. Looks great!

[@GarageTimeAutoResto]

Thanks Russ!

[@randypischke1270]

I must correct you about all Porsches requiring caliper removal to change pads. My 993 calipers have a handy spring latch to quickly change pads. Most have pins to remove in order to change pads

[@GarageTimeAutoResto]

Thanks, I don't know anything about those new cars. Aren't 993's still under factory warranty?😂

[@randypischke1270]

@@GarageTimeAutoResto That is what I thought for you to make a statement like that. I don't know if I would call a 25 year old car, a newer car. I installed thr 993 calipers on my 73 hotrod. Way overkill but looks nice. As a Porsche mechanic, I don't recall ever working on a 911 where the calipers have to come off. The Cayenne is the only one I remember doing that to.

[@rodneynelson3862]

Great Video Tom. I purchased all of my brake lines from URO, an entire kit. Hopefully it will make my install a bit easier than yours.

[@GarageTimeAutoResto]

Don't Jinx it, lol

[@chriscarbaugh3936]

Bleed brakes just sucks ... sometimes. Motive Pressure bleeding works. Can try gravity bleed as well; it works.

[@JVR_Funwithdesign]

I love electric impact tools. Would suggest that you not use chrome sockets with an impact gun though, you run the serious risk of them shattering and injuring you.

[@GarageTimeAutoResto]

Good advice. I'm usually one who uses hand tools anyway.

[@JVR_Funwithdesign]

@@GarageTimeAutoResto yeah, I think we've all done things that aren't 'recommended' but I'd hate to see an episode where you get a piece of socket in your face. Keep up the great work, love the build.

[@vinmilesfewpics]

This video totally reminds me my dad yelling at me for holding the flashlight wrong 😂 I gota go back to your relay video as i have fried my ignition and my starter, new ignition just got here....

[@GarageTimeAutoResto]

So sorry to hear about those electrical gremlins. Reach out if you need anything.

[@asicerik]

Very cool that IR got in touch with you. Love the JB Weld trick. Can you believe I don't have any in my garage? (yet) :)

[@GarageTimeAutoResto]

JB Weld was recommended by the manufacturer of my Teflon suspension bushings believe it or not. That's when I got some! I like it.

[@Luca-fq9cd]

Please dont torque the wheel screws with a impact drive because you might destroy the thread

[@GarageTimeAutoResto]

What about taking them off?

[@Luca-fq9cd]

@@GarageTimeAutoResto taking them off is no problem because you won't give pressure on the thread. Ps: your videos are really great and I enjoy them every time

[@GarageTimeAutoResto]

I agree, I will put them back on with a hand torque wrench. 👍. Thanks for watching

[@k708388]

btw tom i used fuel line when i restored my e type for the brake fluid reservoir to the hard line and the brake fluid ate through it i think there is different line for brake fluid

[@GarageTimeAutoResto]

Oh that's interesting. Thanks for the heads up. You are right! It needs to be EPDM!

[@ldenorio]

i sent them the link of that video on their twitter account about a month ago.

[@GarageTimeAutoResto]

Awesome, thanks! Last I checked my video is still on their Facebook page too.

[@k708388]

why not weld the bigger sleeve

[@GarageTimeAutoResto]

I thought about it, but the lines are coated inside and out and I didn't want to strip the coating off and have it rust later.

[@RusaiAkaCrispy]

you can buy brake hardline to hose adapter, hardline side uses an olive and will never leak, i use it from fuel hardline to carby fuel line and it's also under pressure. similar to this www.speedparts.com.au/aeroflow-1-4-hard-line-to-4an-female-adapter-blue

[@GarageTimeAutoResto]

Thanks. Those are nice!

[@chriscarbaugh3936]

What calipers are those? I tried a set of RSR type under my deep sixes; no fit 🙁

[@GarageTimeAutoResto]

These are available from Tuthill Porsche in the UK.
