Ford Edge Brake Fluid Flush

One person brake Bleed

[@scotthsmith8635]

You did a good job bud. We are our own worst critics. Something I might add is that you want to turn the ignition to the on position so that you bleed the ABS module as well. I’m told if you want to depressurize the accumulator that you should turn the ignition off and pump the brake pedal 40 times or so. Don’t know much about that part. Also take it for a test drive and get on some loose gravel or dirt, hit those brakes hard to engage the ABS. Do that a couple times in forward and reverse and that will also help you. Thanks. Good luck to all

You’re right about how to depressurize the accumulator. I have a 2011 Ford Edge and a ‘93 Volkswagen Corrado. On the Corrado I have to pump it 32 times.

Just a heads up do not know if it's common. My dad has a 2008 ford edge and the bottom of both the rear brake line hose where they connect to the caliper rusted and got a pin hole size leak!!!!

what size tubbing for bleeser set up?

[@Wavetechlifeguardian]

I believe 1/4". When you go to hardware store, just buy every sized small tubing you can find. For less than $5, you'll have multi tube sizes, to fit whatever size bleeder screw you have.

white size for the bleeding hose did you use?i didnt change my brake fluid only the parts.

[@Wavetechlifeguardian]

Two of the smallest ones that came with the kit. I"m not sure what exact size? Changing the fluid didn't make a huge difference though. I need to replace the pads and rotors.
