how much air does this thing use? Would a 3 gallon tank hold up alright, or would you need a larger compressor?

[@danfrench5034]

Sorry I have a 6 gallon tank- do you think that would be okay?

[@laineotto1376]

tomorrow bleeding my 74 VW beetle, I just was not sure how to use this machine, thank you! It is so much faster than by having another person pump the brake pedal.

[@Big88Country]

FYI, you can use the bleeder kit to vacuum out the fluid in the reservoir also. That way you can clean it out with some brake cleaner and get all the gunk that settles inside the reservoir. Vacuum out the gunk and brake cleaner then start your bleeding sequence.

[@mikeike7114]

Using brake cleaner in a plastic reservoir?? I don’t think that’s a good idea. Wouldn’t it corrode the plastic?

[@MichaelMccloud-ij9kb]

you dont want to completely drain the MC if you do you will have to bench bleed the MC just suck most of the fluid out the go to the wheels that will flush all the rest out when the brake fluid becomes clear

[@malcolmmarzo2461]

After fifty years of bleeding brakes by many methods, I wish I would have had this tool years ago. Just tried it on a difficult old Toyota Landcruiser job that included a new master cylinder. Really dirty lines and cylinders. Lots of air to deal with. The HF air vacuum bleeder made an otherwise pain in the ass procedure really fast and pleasant. Now I can do my own brake flushes on my other cars--and save the $120 charged by shops.

[@RichDasix]

just ordered a kit like this for myself, I'm tired of the old methods and this seems to work pretty dang good. Fingers crossed it'll solve my spongy brakes.

[@murrayd7259]

Nice video. One hint though. If you point the hose upward from the bleeder it's easier to see when the air bubbles are gone and just clear fluid is running out. You can also hold one finger on the back of the rubber fitting to ensure a good seal. That's one nice thing about this kit with the one handed trigger operation. Others have a lever and it take two hands to turn it on and off.

[@Ukraineleo]

I continuously have air coming out, what am I doing wrong? PSI set at 100.

[@WoodworkingforAnyone]

It's people like you that make KZbin annoying. Wait, I mean, I come here for great tips like yours and it forces me to see all of the others. It would be better if all of the comments were useless so I could just ignore it. 😅 Thanks

[@x-man5056]

You could just use the vacuum bleeder to suck out the old fluid. Faster and easier. I really like my vacuum bleeder (same one as you). Makes a laborious and dirty job so much cleaner, easier, faster. Best new tool I've gotten in years.

[@scrappy93]

Seems about the same effort.

[@x-man5056]

@@scrappy93 Less mess and easier to use than a pressure bleeder. Bleed quickly and easily by yourself including stubborn systems. Use it for liquid vacuuming also (like if you over fill your crankcase).

[@eaglerider94]

Excellent tutorial. I have one of these and will change my brake fluid tomorrow!

[@Marco-fi6gv]

I bought same bleeder kit at harbor freight, I use it every pad replacement. I hook it up as I'm compressing each caliper so get all that nasty stuff out. I drink reservoir as far down as I can before I start too and then top off. I keep refilling fluid as I go to each caliper. I figure I'm going to be replacing a good portion of it that way each time I do brakes. Why not it's cheap. Anyway this thing is Handy and it's paid for itself over and over. I've used it to do my diff fluid clutch too, even though bot says brake fluid only on bottle.

[@kseries20-24only]

Does this work on ABS systems as well? Or is there any other special procedure to actuate the ABS and evacuate any fluid in the ABS?

[@donfunk6534]

Detailed video, thanks! I would point out that I purchased this bleeder form Harbor "Fright" and mine did NOT come with the air hose coupler attachment that yours had when you unboxed it. It is the part that screws into the end of the handle that connects to your air hose fitting. Remember to buy one of these or you can't attach it and use nylon tape to seal it on the screw threads. I LOVE the bleeder. I used it on my BMW motorcycle and will do the car brakes when I swap out the rotors/pads.

[@mattb9664]

The HF bleeder is good brake fluid bleeder. I think mine is 5 years old, no cracked parts or anything. The rubber end that fits to the bleeder screw is still in perfect condition as is the fluid line. Used it again his morning and it gave me a perfect fluid flush. The only thing I dislike is how it consumes lots of your compressor air, so it will keep the motor running if it’s a small 12 gallon compressor.

[@tiger.6509]

Finally someone is bleeding their brakes instead of just talking about. Watched for previous videos.

[@ronpowers9345]

No reason to use a syringe to remove old brake fluid from master cylinder just use the vacuum pump hose to remove it. Works better and much faster.

[@ronpowers9345]

@@joshgutierrez7380 Not really. Plus, that whole system is worthless junk. The working system would be the air powered units used by mechanics and me being the Branick Industries Brake Bleeder .

[@gurnblanstein9816]

Brake*

[@robertnewman9951]

May be worth a try; Certainly better than using a Myti-Vac hand vacuum pump. It should be adequate for changing fluid, but if one is bleeding the brake system, e.g. after a master cylinder change, it's difficult with vacuum bleeding because the threads on the loosened bleeder valve always leak a little and introduce bubbles into the stream; it's hard to tell where those are coming from, the system or just those leaky threads. Pressure bleeding from the master cylinder is the best method, but more time and tooling is needed to do that.

[@andrewschwallenberg140]

The reason your bleeding sequence is reversed is probably because you have an ABS unit located in the rear driver's side of the vehicle. If that's the case, your furthest point would actually be front passenger.

[@FabianCharrua]

Correct me if Im wrong but you should squeeze the trigger first before you open the bleeder and close the bleeder first before you let go of the trigger. This way you always have pressure otherwise you're allowing air in the line.

[@TR19]

+Gerard Fabian Alvarez He is closing the bleeder before releasing the vacuum. But for the opening, he is bleeding any little bit of air that could get in from the start during the bleeding vacuum process.

[@turdsandwicher]

+Gerard Fabian Alvarez good tip. nice to be extra carful.

[@josuealvarado5273]

Gerard Fabian Alvarez true

[@rjherb5895]

WHAT IF HE GOT THAT POOR CAR PREGNANT??

[@CuriousKL]

No. Crack loose bleeder screw, put your small narrow wrench on screw, attach hose, pull trigger to draw fluid. Once clear flow is observed, tighten screw, remove hose.

[@69Polie69]

With today's current pads drilled rotors are obsolete, in fact they are detrimental to the rotor. If he wanted the look dimpled would have been better. I can almost understand the slotted, but still over rated with new tech in brake pads.

[@eddyhoek8919]

You can use the bleeder to vacuum the old fluid from the reservoir instead of a syringe.

[@CSSIandAssociate]

Thanks for posting the write ups on HF say good things about this. I did not know you needed a compressor however I like that makes it even easier.

[@naturestan]

I have used this tool and discovered that it works just fine at only 40 psi. I've used it on a new brake line itself to clear them of debris, which I have found when I remove the rubber piece! Pieces of a Viva towel that i used to wipe the edge of the MC. Bad idea, use a rag instead. I then attached the line to the wheel cylinder and used a speedy bleeder. Have also used this tool on a disc/drum system at 40 psi with great results, however it may have distorted the in-line 10# residual valve's seal. The lower pressure keeps the wheel cylinder cups from buckling under too much vacuum 'pressure' and leaking air past the edges of the seal.

[@thowe2823]

Thanks Peter aka "Dial2Fast" for the great videos! I was able to replace all 4 rotors and break pads on on 2006 Honda Odyssey saving hundreds of $ thanks to you. Everything works great, got the breaks from Brakemotive and couldn't be happier. The only issue I had was with the Break bleeding kit from Harbor Freight. It worked fine for the front lines, but it just couldn't get enough pressure (yes tried the grease) for the back lines so we had to bleed the breaks the old fashioned way with a tube , a jar full of brake fluid and my brother pumping the brakes. Couldn't have done it without your videos though so thanks again!

[@Roller76]

Were you using the required pressure on your compressor? They require a 20+ gallon tank but between 7 to 19 gallon tanks they say is doable. But 1 to 6 gallon tanks aren't recommended. I don't know what you did but the pressure cant be less than 90 and no more than 120.

[@05harley]

I'm getting ready to bleed the brakes on my 73 Dodge Power Wagon and was thinking of purchasing this bleeder kit. Very informative video. Thanks much

[@bobnoxious1983]

Nice video. Do you need to close the master cylinder cap after each fill before starting the bleed with the kit?

[@dial2fast]

You don't need to put the cap on.

[@josephfernandez9273]

Excellent demonstration, all critical points covered.

[@STBRetired1]

Honda Odyssey is also odd in how they check the transmission fluid level. For all my 78 years, it used to be put vehicles in Park after running it through the gears and check with the engine running. With the Odyssey, you warm it up til the fan comes on - put it in Park and SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. Then, you wait 30 seconds but no more than 90 seconds to pull the dipstick and check the fluid level. I'll have to see if the clearance for the bottle on my 2007 Odyssey is different than on your vehicle.

[@rickbraden4272]

Why not use your tool to remove old fluid in your brake reservoir?

[@jcaleca60]

I wonder if I could use this through my dipstick to drain my transmission fluid

[@MrMaster2262]

You shouldn't need to empty the old fluid from the reservoir as when you start bleeding all the old fluid will be sucked through ending up in the bottle container. the new fluid will then be sucked through becoming cleaner as you're bleeding... great video, really informative, fully explained in great detail. many thanks 😉👍

[@mitchellclarke3849]

Why would you want to pull all the crap through the system and spend even longer sucking it out? Remove old fluid from the reservoir always. That way you are only introducing fresh fluid.

[@johnmiller9219]

when bleeding with a compressor hose does it ever stay solid fluid in the bleeder hose to let you know there is no more air coming out of the lines? it appears not

[@timbarnett3898]

Dad always made us use box end wrench around bleeder valve to unloosen first initially from so locked position, hear how the bolt snapped loudly when you broke it loose! (box end better fit an not round off flat edges of bleeder valve. After cracked open use either end of wrench but I always used box end set first on valve then bleeder hose kept wrench in place on valve) Tim Also could you put that auto fill on a IV type bag so can form around body parts over master cylinder?

[@jerlaine1638]

Tim Barnett he might live in an area where rust isn’t an issue which is generally why in Utah at least we do the same as you and use the box end

[@captainwho1]

I agree, and preferably a 6 point box wrench. But you can try a regular wrench first and just don't apply too much torque to where you can damage anything. I'm not sure if penetrating oil is advisable here. Maybe silicone based if there is one......

[@moorbek6123]

Hi, how much pressure you got in compresor

[@antinora3265]

Thanks. Video was very clear as was your description. Only thing I miss was they type of lube you put on bleeder screw to seal out air. What's name of grease?

[@dial2fast]

You can use any grease, but I used Sil Glyde amzn.to/2L9smFr

[@kimkramer1983]

Could you just have used the syringe with the clear tubing attached to the bleeder valve, instead of the compressed-air & bleeder bottle set-up? You'd attach the syringe-with-tubing to the bleeder valve, open the bleeder valve, then pull back on the syringe to suction out the brake fluid; close the bleeder valve before detaching the clear tubing/syringe. It appears that the pneumatic bleeder is basically doing the same thing by suctioning out the brake fluid with negative pressure created by the compressed air passing through the catch bottle. Also, since you're not using the inverted fill-bottle at the master cylinder reservoir, there's the risk of drawing out too much fluid with the compressed-air suction; thus, "emptying" out the master cylinder reservoir and potentially causing damage to the master cylinder. Just a thought to simplify the procedure. Any thoughts?

[@trietnguyen3447]

A syringe will do the same thing but imagine how long that would take if you're going to do a complete flush

[@Organplayer1947]

Mine leaked like crazy. I can't tell air bubbles bled from the brakes from those that leak past the tool's hoses. Thank you for your time and this video!

[@twinturbo1k]

If you open a brake bleeder too much, air will be sucked in around the bleeder threads and into the tools hose and make it look like you still have air in the brake line. Either just crack the bleeder, or maybe some heavy grease to the outer bleeder threads.

[@captainwho1]

@@twinturbo1k They often leak with vacuum method even if you use grease and even if you just open a crack.

[@toranzoM]

Would it be a problem to put antiseize on the bleeder threads? I want to prevent seizing obviously but also think it would help seal the threads while bleeding to prevent any air from entering the vacuum

[@dial2fast]

Yes you can put anti-seize on the bleeder thread.

[@jameswan670]

what is the work logic that compressor will push air into the bleed bottle, but how it does suction the brake fluid from the fluid line? and does it bleed air in the ABS module?

[@Guillotines_For_Globalists]

This will definitely be my next HF purchase. I originally purchased the mityvac manual vacuum pump from HF. A few weeks ago, I did full brake system flushes on four vehicles. My hands definitely got a good work out from that experience! Although it did work just fine......

I just got mine from aliexpress. No idea why I thought I can use it manually without a compressor. So can it be used without a compressor ?

[@travisgelinas3078]

could have used the pneumatic bleeder to drain master cylinder, the syringe is the mixmizer used for mixing 2 stroke oil with gas, ratios are right on syringe. but obviously has many uses, i've used a turkey baster, good video

***** Thank you!!

[@CuriousKL]

Better off obtaining a fluid extractor. Turkey baster is somewhat messy and you do not want to get brake fluid on painted surfaces.

Great advice using grease to get a good seal.

[@bwp85]

I could be wrong but I believe that DOT 4 is used on Honda Vehicles. Also wouldn't you bleed brakes starting at the furthest distance from the master cylinder?

[@dial2fast]

+Brian Poynton DOT4 is not specific to car manufacturer. DOT4 has a higher boiling point than DOT3. You should use whats recommended in your user manual. As to bleeding from the furthest out first, that should be the case for most cars, but it depends what the service manual recommends. My 08 Odyssey Honda service manual say to bleed the front driver first.

[@Flammable281]

I used to think that as well and if you are removing air from the system then yes. However for doing brake fluid flush/replacement I started using this procedure and if you think about it it makes perfect sense. I remove most of the old fluid from master cylinder with a turkey baster then refill with new fluid. Then I bleed the wheel closest to the master cylinder first until fluid comes out clean. Then bleed the farthest from the master cylinder which is usually the rear passenger wheel. Then the drivers rear wheel and last the passenger front wheel. The reason for bleeding their closets wheel first is that all the old fluid is flushed out of the master cylinder and when you bleed the furthest wheel it's clean fluid going thru the system instead of old. I learned this from Eric the car guy channel.

[@Tj1056]

it all depends on where the ABS and fluid container are. Some cars have the ABS in the rear which would mean you need to start with the front wheels and work back

[@amsnare]

I do not think this matters all that much .. SAAB says to start with the bleeder closest to the reservoir .. as does Mity Mite .. why , I do not know .

[@majorlopez]

It depends where your abs module is

[@gunnerneikoify]

Theres no need to pull the old fluid out before bleeding the system. Just flush the old crap through. Waste of time and usually ends up making somewhat of a mess trying to suck the old fluid out of the reservoir. Flush it on through till the fluid runs clear showing that the NEW fluid has worked its way through the sytem pushing the old fluid out infront of it. :)

[@amineabderrahmane1707]

So he starts flushing the old fluid from the nipple of each wheel, and he adds the new fluid as the levels drop ?

[@gunnerneikoify]

@@amineabderrahmane1707 Exactly!!! There's 100% no reason to mess around going through the trouble of removing the old fluid 1st. Start bleeding and as the "old" fluid in the reservoir gets low, not empty, add new fluid. And continue the process until you've got nice clean fluid coming from each brake bleeder.

You can leave it open and top off the fluid periodically.

Luv the video! those rotors man! is Dad racing the mini van? Lol! just kidding man I would do the same thing on putting a nice rotor on a minivan that the wife and the kids ride on, keeping it reliable and extra safe. two thumbs up man, I'll be getting that bleeder kit very soon..

[@sonny231100]

awesome video. thank you so much1

[@meblake7359]

You could still use the fill bottle on the master cylinder. As long as, the nozzle is just below the fluid max line, it will not overfill the master cylinder. Just don't use the adapter.

[@Silvertheta]

Can you use this on a hydraulic clutch master cylinder?

[@iamtoxic1]

Yes. It works great for that. I bought it for just that purpose

[@nedwob1]

Does the clutch need to be fully depressed while doing this?FYI i am using it as i installed a new clutch master cylinder.

[@Mr382548]

No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@carlossibonir.8644]

I dont understand how a compresor extract brake fluid? No entiendo como un compresor que suministra presion ayuda a extraer el liquido de frenos?

[@roycarter738]

I have bleeder kit from harbor freight. Are we suppose to see little bubbles and have clear stream going to bottle?

[@dial2fast]

You will see sputtering of fluid being sucked out since the nipple is not a perfect seal, but as long as the fluid is being sucked out, then it's working. Just make sure you close the bleeder before you release the handle to ensure not air goes back in.

[@saltiestwaltiest4472]

I think they recommend you start with the front because your ABS system must be in the rear.

[@383uts]

What is the name of the grease you are using on the nipple rubber to help keep it air tight?

[@dial2fast]

SilGlyde amzn.to/2pbExcQ

[@chris18228]

What is you just hooked it up to the bleeding valve clean it out through the lines

[@akashmer]

So did the rotors help slow down the Van better?

[@dial2fast]

+akashmer The new rotor/pad setup fixed this terrible grinding noise which I had with the factory brakes. I have used these rotors/ pads on 3 cars now and they all perform great. No warping or brake fade.

[@JonarlCastro]

Will a portable 6 gallon air compressor enough to use this ?

[@dial2fast]

No

[@marysheilds9966]

Not too bad video. Thanks

[@toulialee82]

Nice. Going to go get one

[@scrappy93]

Man I thought you needed a vac for those. The only reason I got the cheap one man frome amazon for 6 bucks. I have a compressor. I'm going to get one of these.

[@808hat]

you think a 3 gallon pancake air compressor set at 90 psi, can do the job?

[@Mr382548]

Yes, all you need is 90 or more PSI.

[@puppygadget3189]

Big nice brakes and calipers on that car-thanks for the video

[@95TurboSol]

It's cool but it seems simpler just to bleed it via pumping the brakes and have the bleeder hose in a Gatorade bottle with a little fluid at the bottom so it can't pull air back in. 100% free except for the clear hose.

[@mountaingrownnomad4212]

That method works provided you have a helper. This is super easy to do alone.

[@kukri1877]

@@mountaingrownnomad4212 The one he mentioned can be done with one person. I just did it on my wifes car. Set up the bottle, open the bleeder, hop in and pump the brakes a few times, hop out check the mc and the line and repeat, until the line is clear fluid and no air bubbles. Now its a pain in the butt and deff not as easy as the tool, but can be done. But it's been a year, and doesn't really matter. :)

[@MrDavidstarks]

The correct order in which to bleed the brakes is from the farthest one from the master cylinder up to the closest one to the master cylinder. That way you ensure no old fluid is still trapped in the process. Thanks for the informal video!

[@dial2fast]

dav man You are absolutely correct and that's what I've been taught. No idea why Honda service manual was written that way.

[@MrDavidstarks]

Awesome dial2fast​. I didn't know you followed the Honda manual. In that case you did it properly for the Odyssey. Thanks again for the very informative video.

[@nitroburner77]

dav man It's most likely because of the ABS.

[@elifire4147]

Furthest from the ABS NOT the Master Cylinder.

[@Dan-wh7ey]

What size compressor do you need? Will small 150 psi work?

[@dyoel182]

Yes but probably in bursts

[@mikedelta1679]

The suction gadget will suck the mucky fluid out of the M/C reservoir very nicely :o) And do a good job at getting the muck out of the bottom of the reservoir.

[@jameslucas820]

Great video, I've been looking for a tool like this.

[@killahjeep]

You don't need to astroglide the bleeders, and the line from the bleeder should be hanging from above to see the new fluid, and prevent bubbles in the line.

[@jsixamore]

scott17818 exactly what I was thinking

[@captainwho1]

I was thinking that he should've put that grease on the threads of the bleeder nipple. Putting it where he put it would perhaps help to seal but also could help it to slip off. That's not where the air usually gets in anyways, when vacuum bleeding.

[@djazu]

How much bar you need to set on the compressor ?

[@taoh3473]

Is this method can create air on the circuit ? Even if my connection on the nipple on the rear brake is not well sealed ? Because i see a lot of air on my flexible, but not a lot of brake fluid coming out...

[@dyoel182]

Take some grease and cover the threads of the bleeder itself. That will stop air from getting through the threads and right into your line.

[@taoh3473]

Joel Back ok Thanks I'll try it
