How to Bleed Your Brakes

Getting rid of the air in your brake system is quite simple on cars. So easy that you can do it in your garage and it will take no time to get it done. If you have old brake fluid in your car and want to flush it out, this is essentially the exact same procedure.
Stoptech STR 600 Brake Fluid ▶︎ amzn.to/2hNYIaz
HFS Brake Bleeder ▶︎ amzn.to/2BhRYud
If you don’t have a friend to help you press the brake pedal, you can get a power bleeder where it will suck the fluid from the bleeder valve and pull it through the lines instead of the brake booster pushing it down through the lines. Theres a link below for one.
If you have any questions, post them in the comments below and I’d be happy to help. Cheers!!

just attach a small hose to the bleeder and u will prevent the fluid from getting on ur caliper. :)

[@jervez911]

Really well put together video. Nice, man!

[@numairhirani7172]

How would you do a caliper with two bleed valves? I have brembos so there is a bleeder screws on each side.

[@jiechen7732]

nice video! always learn things from here, thank you!

[@windpusher]

Thank you, great help for me as I am in the middle of replacing rear calipers, pads and rotors and SS lines all around on a 2007 Saturn Sky Red Line. Next and last, bleeding the lines.

[@redihoxha2940]

With that fluid circulation can gearbox pump clean, it works with brake fluid too

[@ayoubfarid1663]

Can you do a video on cleaning alloy wheels please? I like the way yours turned out at the end

[@pistolpete7280]

Love the videos man!

[@milanmastracci]

+Numair Hirani If you have to bleed your brakes with two bleeder screws, you will want to bleed the furthest bleeder first, then the closer one. So you'd want to do the outside bleeder, then the inside bleeder valve.

[@Gymfinitygymnastics]

Great video, very easy to follow and well explained.

[@charleswilson4598]

Nice video, well explained.

[@paterfamilias01]

Might be a dumb question , but can i just do this to one caliper? Since im only changing one out?

[@evaneverest7286]

great video, thank you.

[@bahadirdogan6208]

Very good simple explanations

[@IHateCrawlers]

Keep up the good work buddy

[@milanmastracci]

usman syed Thanks man!! :)

[@atifshahid2122]

nice video! Always learn thing for here.Thank you..

[@GeorgeFarahGNR]

Sweet video

[@frankharris7878]

thanks i needed to fully know how to bleed brakes .a lesson well learned.....

[@MegaHollywood1971]

Never have I seen anyone (even novice) not attach a bleeder hose. Oh my

[@charleswilson4598]

Some do and some don't.

[@pappaclutch3266]

Don’t you just want to shoot your fluid all over sometimes?

[@moNYTx]

Nice vid, next time for a better view of air bubbles, use a clear hose that will fit over the bleed valve.

[@milanmastracci]

moNYTx I wish I had one but next time, for sure!!

[@terisflo]

Should we do this process with the engine running? Because when it's off the brake pedal becomes hard and gets stuck.

[@DoomFinger511]

It doesn't get stuck when bleeding brakes because you're releasing the pressure.

[@justshady]

How would you know when to stop pressing the brake? how would you know when one side is done?

[@milanmastracci]

+justshady When the color of the brake fluid changes from a gross yellowy-orange, to a near-clear colour :)

[@kumarkush719]

how to be sure of that there is no bubble left even after 3-4 times of brake bleeding ??

[@DoomFinger511]

Attach a clear hose to the bleeder valve. You'll not only prevent brake fluid from getting on the brakes, you'll also be able to see if any bubbles are in the fluid as it comes out.

[@maddogguzman3961]

Great vid !!!!!

[@JST99]

Muy útil el video. Sin embargo falto adicionar una manguera para prevenir que el fluido caiga y observar aire en el sistema. Buen video!

[@8411062]

so before you start bleeding the breaks do you mix the old fluid with the new fluid or how do you get rid of the old fluid on the lines to get the new fluid in

[@milanmastracci]

+Christian Flores You keep pumping the brake pedal until the new fluid from the reservoir gets pushed through the lines and the old fluid is evacuated

[@DoomFinger511]

@@sonacphotos If it's a different type of fluid you need to drain the whole system first. If it's the same type (but just clean fluid) you can mix it.

[@patelvivek27]

Hey so is it okay to use the same stoptech dot4 fluid on my stock(single piston) '12 accord brakes?

[@patelvivek27]

I daily my car by the way.

[@DoomFinger511]

Don't mix fluids. If you are going to change it you have to drain the brake system first.

[@youngsumma]

hey bro, I have the same car as you but the v6. im frequently having to put air in my driver front tire. I don't know if its the wheel or tpms gauge. help a brother out, please!!!!

[@milanmastracci]

Hey man! I'd take a bottle with soapy water, spray it all over the tire and the TPMS, and see where it bubbles. If you have a leak, you should be able to spot it. You might have also driven over a screw or something and have a puncture in the tire itself. It might be easiest to remove the wheel to fix it and inspect it, but that's where I would start 👍

[@youngsumma]

@@milanmastraccihey thanks for replying so fast. ill do that this weekend. I bought a set of new tires late last year thinking that would fix my slow leak issue, but no Im still losing air in my front driver. is its either my wheel is bent , or a bad tpms. if its the wheel, is that a diy repair? have you ever had to fix your wheels?

[@xChivas-ip3yn]

@@youngsummadid you figure out what the problem was ?

[@Zenithity]

Nice accord man! Where in Ontario are you at?

[@milanmastracci]

Zenith Thanks man!! In the Niagara Region close to Niagara Falls.

[@gangstaa2011]

How do you bleed drum brakes?

[@milanmastracci]

gangstaa2011 There is a bleeder valve just like on these discs, found at the top rear of the drum brake.

[@jogmas12]

You should teach the single person method. But it requires making a bleeder bottle from a plastic beverage bottle and attaching a clear hose. It goes quicker

[@thatguywholaged]

Is that a 4 cylinder or v6? And what year is it?

[@milanmastracci]

Thatguywholaged Its a 2009 4 banger

[@thatguywholaged]

milanmastracci thats cool i just got a 2010 4 cylinder. do you ever get crap for it not being v6 and do you overall like the car? Anyways its cool to see what my car can look like (mines black to).

[@milanmastracci]

I love my car!! It might not be as powerful as the V6 however it is very balanced and can turn better than the V6. If you opted for the big engine, would that increase be enough or would you want a V8 after that?

[@thatguywholaged]

milanmastracci ya i mean i fine with the 4 cylinder its my first car and has some decent mpg but i fear its a little weak do you think a turbo or supercharger would be an ok upgrade? anyways love your videos keep up the great work cant wait to see what else you do with your car.

[@milanmastracci]

If you are really looking for power, I would suggest getting the V6 because it is safe power without running anything aftermarket. With that being said, if that isn't enough power, you can then look into getting a supercharger kit for it. I have seen someone that has turbocharged their 4 cylinder Accord however it isn't easy nor is it cost effective. Glad to hear, I'll keep posting away :D

[@MattJonesYT]

This is not such a great way to do it because it makes a mess and is not as easy to see the bubbles. If you use a bleeder hose it contains the corrosive brake fluid from getting all over the place and you can easily see if there are still air bubbles in the hose.

[@MrRangerZr1]

Why didn't you put a pipe on the bleeder?

[@milanmastracci]

MrRangerZr1 Like a clear hose? I didn't need one as I closed up the bleeder screws when fluid was coming out. This way I know there wasn't any air getting back into the system.

[@MrRangerZr1]

milanmastracci Yeah a clear hose, so it wouldnt make a mess.

[@AvoKupelian]

My fluid is green, are all brake fluids supposed to be clear?

[@milanmastracci]

+Avo Kupelian Yeah I would definitely look into replacing the fluid. It should be very similar to water but with a slightly yellow tinge to it. Definitely not green though

[@gegegenokitaro]

I’d never let you touch my car. LoL

[@horsesar]

Don't you need a special machine to bleed brakes with ABS systems?

[@milanmastracci]

+horsesar Nope :)

[@octavianoramirez4918]

Push the brake pedal 3 times when the pedal es down open the bleeder screw but installing a tubing lone make clean job .. you make it sloppy job man
