Hello Sir, Thankyou so much for your video and kind consideration of others and your help. Some really helpful pointers were, I didn't know, not to push the pedal to the floor when bleeding. I also found magnets on the side of your bleeding bottle a great idea. Thank you again, you were a great help and inspiration.

[@ianwoods1384]

Hello Sir, I've just completed my rear drum brake job. I'm thrilled. You were the engine that helped and pushed me to do it. In the beginning, it seemed daunting, and if something went wrong, I was apprehensive in knowing what to do. I didn't renew the brake shoes, that wasn't the problem. The problem was that the brakes weren't releasing after overnight parking. I assumed something had seized. In the process of refitting the shoes, I caught the cylinder seal and a little fluid seaped out. I've just bled that cylinder and all went great. In future, I won't be afraid of having a look because I now have the confidence to go forward. That's all down to you, my friend. Sleep well tonight Sir. I am one of the many people you've helped. Thank you, and Godbless you. Ps. I've just watched it again. Straight, to the point, is easy to follow. Genius, my friend. You should be in Hollywood with films like that! 😉.

Hey great video. Quick question though. How much do you need to bleed the brakes? When do you stop pumping the brakes? Is there an amount of fluid that needs to come out?

Thanks for sharing ! A quick question, the liquid oil in bleeder bottle prior to the process, is that the old oil being sucked from reservoir? please confirm & thx!

[@MrRangerZr1]

That's oil that was previously sucked out, it doesn't go back into the system once it's out, the bottle has a check valve

[@dr.petervenkman768]

I LOVE THE MAGNET IDEA !!!

[@ydujev]

What I usually do is have someone press the brake fully, with system closed, then I open the valve quickly and reclose it, so no air enters the system. How would this damage seals? Isn't this what happens when you brake normally in the car? Or do you mean it would damage seals if someone pressed the brake fully while the valve was open?

[@MrRangerZr1]

I meant not to push the brake pedal beyond normal travel, don't push on the brake pedal all the way down to the floor.

[@markevans506]

What are we looking for in the bottle? How do we know when we’ve bled the old fluid out?

[@MrRangerZr1]

You can see the old fluid coming out at 1:43 when clear fluid starts to come out you're good to go.

[@Kz3andMore]

I am absolutely new to this, I still don’t understand how to measure torque pressure when turning a wrench, thanks!

[@MrRangerZr1]

Basically when you feel the click when tightening with the torque wrench set to a certain value, you reached the set value and you don't need to tighten anymore than that.

[@Kz3andMore]

@@MrRangerZr1 Oh so in those wrenches you can setup how much torque you want to turn, right thanks I've been binge watching a lot of these videos in preparation for my new car and I always get lost. Thank you so much !!!!

[@brendonrutherford5118]

I naturally & respectfully assume that you are using a torque wrench (as against an ordinary wrench) to do the job in the first place??? All torque wrenches have a set of simple instructions that they come with & the tool itself is very easy to use & set to the desired torque setting you want!! It's actually school boy stuff & I'm only a DIY mechanic. (I normally service boring computers, ugh!!) Plenty of good instructional videos on Torque Wrench use on "KZbin".

[@philowing]

one more question: many of ppl say the bleeding should begin from far - rear passenger wheel but some mechanics said it will make dirty fluid runs all over so they go the opposite - starting from front driver. which one should be correct?

[@MrRangerZr1]

Honda shop manual says front left, front right, rear right, rear left

[@TrackSol]

@@MrRangerZr1 Service manual for 92-95 Civic says Rear Right, Front Left, Rear Left, Front Right. (Page 19-13).

[@LBCAndrew]

All Audi's since 2009 or so say to start with the left front, then right front, then rear left, and rear right.

[@onpsxmember]

It depends on the car. Usually with left hand drive cars the rear passenger side is the first one based on the longest distance from the master cylinder. In some cars the abs system may change that. You have to follow the scheme laid out in the service manual of the particular car and it's version.

"Do not let it (the reservoir) run dry." But you sucked all the old dirty oil out, so it 'went dry', no? I don't get it. Could you clarify, please? Thank you.

Don't let the system completely run out of fluid when you're pumping the brakes, always make sure there is fluid in the reservoir when you're bleeding the brakes, don't let it go past the low mark.

You start at the wheel which is farthest from the master cylinder first and work your way to the closest. On most vehicles the starting point would be the passenger rear tire, then driver side rear passenger front then drive or front.

if the fluid tester indications 'ok'(Green), i don't need to bleed?

[@zichragland8880]

I had a first today. I replaced a rear cylinder on my truck and had someone pump the brakes while I bled them. 3 pumps and hold, I loosened the bleeder valve, brakes did not go to the bottom nor did any fluid come out. Finally on third try, a "little" fluid came out. Brakes did not go to bottom. Tried 5 or 6 times, a little more fluid came out but brakes never went to the bottom. Drove it and brakes feel a little spongy. I have never heard of the brakes not going the bottom when the valve is opened. Thanks for some ideas,

I don't think chris fix said to force the pedal but he shows himself forcing down the pedal in his video. You are stressing the master cylinder and it's seals when you force the pedal farther down than normal operation. This may result is brake failure.
