I've been a mechanic for over 30 years and I love watching Scotty's videos because I always like learning something new. However, I think this video might unintentionally suggest to some people that bleeding brakes isn't necessary and/or that air only gets in brake systems when there is a leak, which is not true. Brake fluid is hydroscopic and absorbs ambient air moisture over a long period of time, which is why some manufacturers still recommend brake fluid flushes as a maintenance item as the car ages. If your pedal is spongy and the fluid is dark, it is absolutely worth flushing the brake fluid before running system scans and other expensive diagnostics. You can do this by bleeding and adding more fluid until it comes out clean at each wheel if you don't have pressure bleeder. I flush brake fluid all the time on older and/or high mileage cars and people can't believe the difference it makes. (One person swore I must have changed all her brakes because she couldn't ever remember it working so well!)

[@Starscreamious]

In my personal experience...it's the damned master cylinder. It wears out at about 100 to 150k miles.

[@goodolddave]

how does the air get into a sealed system?

[@irontiger0462]

I want to say Scotty has a video on the necessity of changing/bleeding your brake fluid for this very reason. Your brake lines and components will corrode faster from the inside out than the outside in. I believe I watched it not too long ago

[@dynamo3059]

yet in scottys other video he looked at like a 20 year old car and it didnt need it

[@429thunderjet2]

@@irontiger0462 well, when the fluid gets old it can start corroding inside yes and screw things up, mainly because brake fluid is hydroscopic & absorbs moisture from the air, actually the manufacturers recommended fluid replacement every two years. But most people never do. I am a life long semi retired mechanic by trade as well. And I haven't seen brake lines corroded out from the inside. But sure as heck have replaced a lot rusted out from the outside up here in the rust belt!

Problems now: Crankshaft seal has a VERY slow leak at the timing cover (going to live with it), it's got a slight idle issue I'm obsessing over, but can live with if I have to, and the slightly spongy brakes which I'll probably address with new MC, but could also live with if I have to.

[@markgigiel2722]

Yup. Then just 1 squirt with the lines loose and a rag to catch the fluid. Less mess and brake fluid can damage paint and stuff. I recently did this on my wife's 07 Rav. Her master cylinder failed completely and she hit the car in front of her. The next press on the pedal and it acted fine again to carefully drive it home. Scary. TIP: If your pedal ever goes right to the floor, let it up and press again. Don't just press harder like she did.

[@joecostantino3684]

I've always used a bench bleeder kit too.. Sometimes they come with the new master cylinder just two plastic fittings and two small hoses.. what I'm curious to know is did he have to bleed the brake lines at the wheels and if so what about the ABS module I mean I know his fancy scan tool can probably do that but he didn't show it.

[@frankd8204]

@@joecostantino3684 I was thinking the same thing. Since he opened the whole system, he would have to bleed at the wheels because air got into the lines. Also, since it has ABS, you really should do a scan bleed to push air out of the modulators, which you can't get 100 percent by traditionally bleeding as was shown. Using a bench bleed for the MC also saves time, especially if it is located in a tight spot.

Also check the calipers if they are old rusty and probably seized up, your pedal may go almost to the floor before you get any anemic braking. I had two cars that did this.

[@videomaniac108]

Another possible reason for a spongy pedal is that the brake fluid might have been boiled a number of times in the past, thus causing the formation of bubbles in the fluid. As brake fluid ages it's wet and dry boiling points decline and a hard braking from high speeds might generate enough heat to boil the fluid. That was a problem I had years ago on a Porsche, necessitating the use of special high-temp brake fluid.

Like several other comments suggest you can and probably should bench bleed the master cylinder before installing that's how I've always done it. I would also bleed all for corners probably with a pnematic or hand vacuum bleeder to remove the old fluid in the lines and calipers along with any air left between the master cylinder and the calipers. Since you are already replacing the fluid in the master cylinder why not change the rest by flushing the entire system and replacing all of the fluid.

Scotty is the king of car repair expert. He is so darn good.

This guy, Scotty Kilmer, is a National Treasure. Texas is fortunate to have him. He's a fantastic and honest person!

Brake fluid eats paint 🎨

[@jimjungle1397]

The non-synthetic brake fluid does, but many of the newer synthetic brake fluids don't attack paint like the non-synthetic brake fluids can.

[@algurdian]

I would try and have a towel catch any fluid but if not spray degreaser and flush with water or the paint will eventually bubble and rust the metal ...i have used synthetic brake fluid and when it leaked it ate the paint just like the regular stuff.

[@jimjungle1397]

There are some synthetic brake fluids that can damage paint, but the newer cars that use DOT 5 fluid don't have that problem. DOT 5.1 might though.

[@justwondering786]

Jim Jungle ; my DOT4 does it learned the hard way and i wiped it right off as soon as i did it, but it made the paint peel off !

Brake fluid only eats Toyota's

[@dustyj22]

i had similar problems with my lexus is. always thought it was air, so i bleed it several times and nothing. i changed the master cylinder, nothing. i changed one front caliper, still nothing. then i found out it was the rear brakes. the guide pins got stuck from the rust because the lube dried out and i had the car sitting for a few weeks. i had to use a heat gun and good ol' hammering to unstuck it.

dustyj22 Now THAT'S a very useful bit of info...wish Scotty would reply on that! Thanks, that hard earned discovery of yours, might save me alot on this G5 Pontiac with mushy brakes! 😌🙏

[@dustyj22]

@@ByDesign333 i never thought of the rear brakes since it takes longer to wear out than the front. i forgot to mention, i even changed the front brake lines. that's how i learned my lesson. the master cylinder and caliper i bought were all used parts from ebay, so it wasn't that expensive. try to check the caliper pistons too, if the rubber boots are worn out or torn apart, dirt can get in and it will also cause it to seize. good luck on your fix.

The description says ‘This Honda Accord has a problem.” But the video is about a Toyota RAV4 that has a problem.

[@ryugo7713]

Steve no it doesn’t.

In my experience. Sometimes if the vehicle has drum brakes and they're not properly adjusted the brake pedal can drop pretty low also.
