EASIEST WAY TO BLEED BRAKES EVER!

[@sirsweetness8332]

I just bought one of these power bleeders. It is great. I have bought 6 different types of brake bleeders over the years and they have all failed. This was amazing as I had to do a completely evacuated system due to failed brakes. My daughters brakes went out on her while driving. Her rubber brake line broke (completely broke from line end). I actuated pump as I power bled. Used a computer. Put 64 oz of fluid through system. Put new master cylinder on also. This was a nightmare to put on Chevy HHR. Had to disassemble the entire fuse box assembly to get to master cylinder.

[@wevonox7941]

After watching so many videos and After 3 days all day of trying different methods on bleeding the breaks I finally did it, I have breaks once again. With new rotors and pads on all four installed and full flush and it's now working better then ever I'm set. I'm glad I don't have to go through this again anytime soon. 👌👇🤘💪

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

If you put fluid in the catch bottle and make sure the hose is submerged can also be used without the pump on the maser cylinder and you would open bleeder and pump brakes till clean fluid then close bleeder and refill master cylinder just another 1 man way of doing it

[@sevensupersport]

When doing the last caliper on the drivers side closest to the master cylinder, run the last fluid out of the pressure bottle and keep an eye on the master cyl and set the fluid level. That way you wouldn’t have fluid left in the line to drip all over your nice paint

[@jcbryant6]

That's the tip I was looking for, thanks!

[@nordemoniac]

@@jcbryant6 Excellent comment. Whatever's left in the pressure bottle can't be used later anyways. Another tip is to keep a tiny bit left in the brake fluid bottle, so if you accidentally get it below minimum in the reservoir and the pressure bottle is empty, just add a bit from the brake fluid bottle.

[@gmans7859]

Spot on. I too will attest this makes Brake Fluid Service sooo much nicer. Having multiple vehicles that require different reservoir adaptors, I can also recommend the the 'quick coupler' and related pieces for the hose.

[@vinmaga6417]

ATE Original TYP 200 DOT4 Brake Fluid meets SAE J1703 and FMVSS 116-DOT4 standards. It has a dry boiling point of minimum 536 degrees Fahrenheit and a wet boiling point of minimum 374 degrees Fahrenheit.

[@epicfester7319]

good job I might use this method. brembo 4 piston calipers all around, each have 2 bleeder valves total pita

[@BlakesGarage]

Oh yeah this is a must. You will say why didn't I do this sooner. Also amazon Prime will have it to your door next day.

[@normanmendonca2834]

Great work. Have some baking soda and water ready to neutralise brake fluid that spills on paint work, just in case. You wanna keep that nice engine bay looking nice..

[@SuperEvoIX]

Yes Sir, you've got right! CASTROL is far the best one! I'm needing it over 10 years. But.... next springtime I'm going to try the RBF from ENDLESS. I heard many good quality points about this one. Greetings, Marcel 👋😉

[@haendel2004]

Can also be done with a vacuum pump connected to the bleeders. And apart from the pressure gauge and connections to the reservoir, that is one of those gardening pumps for spraying water, fertilizer and other liquids on plants (surely the price for the conversion might not compensate.lol)

[@flexer83]

Did u trigger the abs module to release the old fluid ??

[@DurkoppFordertechnic]

Carried out the same to my Audi A4 B8.5 today, I also had a bleed nipple on the clutch slave cylinder which needed doing too. Just about reach it from the engine bay.

[@MrArt69]

You could have called back your friend with VCDS and do that properly. The ABS pump will do the job even better as there is no risk of still having air inside it.

[@ShaanNotShawn]

Thank's Blake, just did my rs3 today for the first time, this vid was perfect.

[@MasterChief-sl9ro]

Brake fluid is an Oxidizer. It's not Corrosive..You ever mix the two. You will love the explosion...

[@dankjeenyus]

So I'm installing new Rotors, Brake Pads, and Calipers on a 2005 Toyota Matrix. The Brake fluid has never changed in over 150k miles. The car has ABS brakes. That being said I have 2 questions. 1) Do I leave the car running when I bleed the brakes? I've herd with ABS brakes you need to leave the car running while bleed. 2) Do I Need the bleed the brakes twice? Once before I install my new calipers and Once after I have them installed, so all the old brake fluid is not flowing through the new calipers. Thank you for any feedback!

[@SnailTrail4x4]

That's a cool system. I have one where the pump is down at the caliper and your pulling the fluid through the system.

[@safffff1000]

I had a beard but got rid of it young, wanted to appreciate a non wrinkled face as long as I could. Now I can cover it up, lo. Good vid

[@deebee3901]

Did you disconnect the negative battery terminal or unplug the ABS module?

[@bilicki44]

What did you use to suck the old brake fluid with how much did you take out of the reservoir and where did you get the tool from? Thanks

[@BlakesGarage]

Dedicated Turkey baster or don’t worry about it and just flush everything out. Links for everything else are in the description. Thanks 👍🏼

[@SpencerHogg]

Nice bro!! Something I'm gonna have to probably do soon on the WRX!! That kit looks like it makes it easy!!

[@SpencerHogg]

Super noob question: When you are putting the new fluid in with the power bleeder and then you go and loosen the 1 brake, fluid comes out - What would happen if you loosened all 4 at same time? Are you supposed to tighten back up the 1 brake then go do 1 by 1? I haven't done brakes before funny enough haha...

[@BlakesGarage]

NinjaxBart you just wanna do one at a time in the proper sequence. If you do know you’ll just be wasting fluid and the system will be fully bleed and Replaced

[@conmanumber1]

Does this swap out a.b.s control valve unit fluid.

[@kerwinvergara3335]

Hey man, quick question, for this service does the car have to be leveled off the ground ? Or does it mayter

[@BlakesGarage]

Car can be on Jack or whatever

[@theninja001]

What about master cylinders with the square press-on caps?

[@BlakesGarage]

They make an adaptor when it claims from below and has a gasket plate for the top

[@Flatfourdetailing]

Followed this method. Flushed out my whole system, added ATE 200, no bubbles.

[@evideos4792]

Did you extracted the old fluid from master cylinder first ? Then filled it with new fluid to level ?

[@PSYGOZz]

Yes he said he would suck the old out first. You could buy a plastic syringe at a pharmacy. And connect a plastic hose on.

[@gilbertarcilla7070]

I liked your car buddy...thanks for the video it’s very helpful

[@spencerclark8734]

Super great video, one question: How many bottles of Castrol SRF brake fluid did you go through to do a full system flush like this?

[@BlakesGarage]

2 is what you'll need

[@thepokerpilotapp]

Might people who tow trailers want to consider using oil like this with an elevated boiling point?

[@jrlaso]

Is CASTROL REACT SRF RACING corrosive with the gaskets and seals?

[@newbeginnings8566]

Keep that beard away from moving belts and pulleys. Seriously thanks for the good video. I drive an A4 Allroad - obviously not a sporty car like yours but I do want to do a bit more servicing myself of course.

[@jimconlon2261]

I noticed that you had a screw on fitting on to where the cap fits on the reservoir , I have a Kia ceed that has a half turn lock cap, do you have to get the proper fitting for each vehicle before you can commence this flush out and bleeding process ? After all if you don't have that proper fitting for the particular vehicle you doomed .

[@charleswittmer2477]

yes you gotta have the correct cap for the master cylinder reservoir.

[@maniacalmonster2293]

I bled my brakes, my cylinder & my ABS all with shit I had lying around at home for FREE. Sure it may have taken longer but it was FREE 🤣

[@alanchanthavisouk8557]

How do u clean the brake bleeder?

[@distortion4507]

Does the pressure system not overfill the reservoir?

[@DavidALovingMPF102]

Very well made video. That beard must weigh 5 pounds!! I bought a different type of brake bleeder, but being the kind of guy I am, I will convert it to work like this one. I do not race my 92 GMC truck, but it does use brakes. It's brake fluid is BLACK! I will change the brake fluid in the next month. (Have to replace the Subaru power steering pump first). A very nice car! When does the racing video come out? What have you done to your engine?

@@BlakesGarage I will watch this, but first an update. On Sunday and Monday, I felt a little flu like...that yuck interferon feeling. Tuesday I felt great! I had to work on my truck. The weather was nice. I decided to bleed the brakes using the compressor made venturi vacuum instead of what you did. well....soft brake pedal! I finally bought more brake fluid ( walmart cheapest dot 3) and met my neighbors wife at the mailbox. She offered to push the pedal. I decided to do it the old fashioned way using 2 people. ( One pushing, the other yelling using a wrench) We had one brake to go and my wife drives up from a doctor's appointment. (they are friends) Well, THAT slowed things down AND taking the front tires off. Got'r done! Good brakes now. Engine needed a wipe down because once I had the brake fluid res. cover off and told her to push! Fluid shot all over the place. It's all good now. Clear fluid!

[@Breezy2310]

Sorry I’m a little confused. Are you not supposed to fill up the reservoir with some new fluid. How much new fluid goes into the reservoir and how much goes into the Motive Bleeder? .5 liter in each?

[@BlakesGarage]

You fill the bleeder only at first it will transfer through the master. Then after your done just top off the reservoir.

[@Breezy2310]

Blake's Garage ok thanks really appreciate it

[@lastmanoftomorrow2840]

Quick question change brake pads on rear when I was finish I pump the brake pedal then I notice while driving no rear brakes I was told you don’t need to pump the pedal some say you do, then some say bleed the brake when you change pad some say you don’t need to bleed . But all I know now is when I push the pedal it hard and don’t go all the way through but not to the point I don’t have and brake . I push the pedal and it goes halfway to where the front brakes engage . So can you tell me what’s the problem . Like video and your style

[@BlakesGarage]

You have to at least pump them a few times as the piston is compressed from you pushing the piston into the caliper. Sometimes it takes a few pumps to get the pads to touch the rotor. However its always a great idea to change the build and bleed the brakes. You could have bigger issues if you still have no rear brakes like air in the lines or a bad master cylinder.

[@lastmanoftomorrow2840]

Blake's Garage ok thanks a lot

[@sharlihoopiiaina5258]

Jam es Guy

[@lastmanoftomorrow2840]

Sharli Hoopiiaina what are you saying

[@rogerhassell3212]

According to step 2 (see below) of the Motive power bleeder instructions, after removing the old fluid from the master cylinder reservoir, you should refill the reservoir with new fluid. I didn't see you do that in the video, you only filled the pressure tank with new fluid (per instruction step 5). Did you skip refilling the reservoir wit new fluid, or just not show it? "2. Remove hydraulic fluid reservoir cap from vehicle. If old fluid is excessively dirty, siphon it off **and refill reservoir with fresh fluid**. Do not pump excessively dirty fluid through hydraulic system."

[@FixMyElement]

2:33 he said he did

[@mclarkallen]

I like the concept, but I have 7 cars. the cap on the brake fluid rez could be different. Does this kit come with several different size rez caps?

[@BlakesGarage]

M.C. A. Yes, check my link there should be a master kit under recommended items.

[@fwh79FOXR6]

M.C. A.: Sell 6 of your cars... problem solved.

[@johnaclark1]

Look up the Power Probe BAKIT01 master brake cylinder adapter kit. Makes any car a breeze with the Motive bleeder and a quick connect coupler. That's the setup I use.

[@Condor1970]

How much fluid did you need to fully flush the system? You may have said how much, but I missed it. Sorry.

[@BlakesGarage]

For a full flush I’d get 2L

[@isaacmoran2908]

Will this bleeder work on an e30 by chance? Got an in line hydro brake n its a pain to bleed

[@BlakesGarage]

Isaac Moran yes it does!

[@daveevans7151]

[@WhiteWingSTI]

easy peasy brake bleed. and best of all, reliable and consistent braking performance running that brake fluid.

[@petekane2501]

Dude what type & where do you get the safety glasses?

[@hollyjosh2k]

You wanna start farthest from the ABS module. Not the master cylinder.

[@dmr0613]

I realize this is an older video, but I have a B9 S4 I am thinking about bleeding the brakes myself (dealer quoted me $600) and scared me by telling me there are electronics, such as ABS systems or Audi presence systems that need to be calibrated whenever you change fluids. Sounds like BS to me, but maybe you can give it to me straight!

[@BlakesGarage]

I found that I had no issue with that. However if you buy the OBD 11 App you can run those procedures from your phone. I know there is an ABS bleed owed and there quite possibly find me a presince mode I never had an issue with that why because I had a completely sealed system I never had an issue.

[@siucbset]

Does the pressure bleeder work if you put no fluid in the reservoir?

[@BlakesGarage]

Needs fluid. To keep the lines air free.

[@siucbset]

@@BlakesGarage Okay. The question I was trying to ask is. Lets say you only wanted to bleed one wheel. You did not want to dirty the container. Can you pump it up go to the one wheel? Loosen up the bleeder. Will there be enough pressure to bleed the one wheel? Oh yes. Don't let to much fluid out because then you would let are in the system.

[@BlakesGarage]

siucbset no when it runs low it doesn't push fluid from my experience. Allways fill it up.

[@mart2041]

You mentioned that you intended on sucking out the old fluid, but you did not show how you did that. Did you end up pushing the old fluid through the system?

[@rickbraden4272]

I wonder why you did not attempt to purge the air out of your pressure bleeder hose connected to the reservoir at the start. Isn't that bad to put all that air into the reservoir while pumping the new brake fluid through that line? Thanks for video.

[@BlakesGarage]

No because it pushes the fluid through the master cylinder. The master cylinder is never empty it doesn’t push air at all or need to be purged. Actually they tell you to test the system first with air only to check for any leaks in the pressure tanks

[@okaythen001]

Size of the clear tube hose? and the same procedure for flushing clutch fluid right?

[@shahsmerdis]

How are you not adding air into the system ? Unless you bleed the air master cylinder brake bleeder setup air has to move into your brake system .

[@victorchen8484]

The motul RBF gets up to 594F

[@nowthenad3286]

I am surprised that your brake bleeding pressure tank has no pressure release valve.

[@JacobRDoty]

Always a hassle when breeding the Blakes 😂

[@fwh79FOXR6]

Jacob R. Doty: Not really. I never have a problem with it. It seems like everyone avoids bleeding brakes like it's the plague. A good bleed job is probably the cheapest "brake upgrade" anyone can do to their car.

[@brianatherton4916]

All I have did for 30 year is gravity bleed brakes no hassle once bleeders are loose. Service manager at chevy dealer taught me that one.

[@ademc8872]

@@brianatherton4916 can you tell us the specifics? Sounds interesting

[@JD-ml7cg]

If you are braking at say 160mph its good to have it other than that you dont need that.. Plus racing fluid requires to change the fluid frequenly as it breaks down quicker.

[@usernameONBEKEND]

That Castrol brake fluid is classified as dot 4 and costs a lot. It has same boiling point as dot 5.1. why not use dot 5.1 (that costs 1/6 and has same boiling point)?

It’s not gonna have the same wet boiling point.

They use cheap rubber on those power masters and you will see it's only good for one bleeding theres a cleaner they recommend to use but that brake fluid eats up those rubber fittings get ready to buy one every time you bleed it dont work good the next year and buy a half gallon of brake fluid it use that much
