Great video. I'm getting ready to do mine this weekend. I just wanted to add, that what shortens the life of brake fluid is moisture. It readily absorbs moisture from the atmosphere, hence the short shelf life once the seal is broken. Once the fluid becomes contaminated with moisture it lowers the boiling point of the fluid causing brake fade and sponginess.

Thank you for watching and thanks for the additional info! I hope all goes well this weekend!💪

A tip that helped me out was to cut a small piece of tubing at the end of it each time I connected it to the bleeder valve. I felt it was more secure to the bleeder valve for me. I finally replaced all my fluids in my truck due to your videos. Thank you!!

[@OutdoorTaco]

Heck yeah that’s awesome! Thanks again!

This was a great video that I will be attempting to copy tomorrow. Just changed my rear brake lines and when trying to bleed the rear drums with a vacuum pump, no fluid would be coming out unless I got back in the cab and pumped the brakes a few more times (back and forth). Apparently the ABS module is keeping the bleeder pump from doing the job by itself without also pumping the brakes. Ill have to copy your idea of looping a hose up high to an empty jug then just pump the brakes from the cab. I've always heard people talking about doing a gravity feed by themselves, but they never mention looping the hose up high to keep air from getting back into the bleeder valve. *side note* would you recommend having the ignition on or the engine running when bleeding the brakes to make it easier?

[@OutdoorTaco]

Thanks for watching! I would keep the ignition off and bleed the brakes by just pumping the brake pedal with your foot. And like in the video just keep checking the level of the brake fluid every 5-8 pumps so no air gets in. I hope this helps and all goes well!💪

[@MarlasModernLife]

so close the valve when they're letting go of the brake? awesome video btw I subscribed I have a 2012 tacoma

[@OutdoorTaco]

Yes close the valve just to triple-make-sure there’s no air coming back in. Thank you! I really appreciate the support!

[@raycastillo6666]

Do you have to place or move the key to the on position in the truck ?

[@OutdoorTaco]

Nope you’re good to go just pressing the brake pedal over and over. Thank you for watching and asking a great question!

[@VictorMartinez-oe7uy]

Do you pump with the cap on or off?

[@OutdoorTaco]

The reservoir cap was on while pumping but as far as I’m aware it shouldn’t make a difference, just make sure the level of brake fluid doesn’t get too low. I kept the cap on to avoid any dust or debris from getting in. Thank you for tuning in and commenting!

[@theepicpeguin]

So you don't have to attach it to all the bleeder valves?

[@OutdoorTaco]

You do, I mentioned in the video going to each individual valve and bleeding them to make sure each system has fresh fluid😁👍 be sure to keep checking the reservoir has plenty of fluid every 5-10 pumps as to not let air into the system and it’ll be a smooth job

[@theepicpeguin]

@@OutdoorTaco oh I must've missed that. Thank you:)

[@OutdoorTaco]

@@theepicpeguin no problem, Glad I could help!

[@marketingmasters3550]

On these tricks I would try to use as much OEM parts and fluids. Toyota sells everything at the part counter. I would buy everything Toyota or your 1) not supporting Toyota which put out these tank of a truck and 2) I would not trust any other brand to produce something that’s good for a Toyota. I switch out on power steering fluid once and I know it caused problems not regular wear and tear.

[@OutdoorTaco]

Good to know, thank you for commenting! I’m all about additional info that supports the videos purpose! I’ll keep an eye out for any issues, I’m going 8 months strong with that fluid and no issues so far💪
