Shouldn't you bleed the brake calipers beginning at the right-rear, to left-rear, to right-front, to left-front (starting farthest away from the brake fluid reservoir, working your way to the closest)?

@hareepjoshi 8 месяцев назад

apparently not on this honda according to the manual

@StrongDreamsWaitHere 4 месяца назад

On this year CR-V, the ABS pump is on the passenger side, so the longest brake line is driver’s rear.

@understandthis4634 3 месяца назад

Tech manual states as he did it. You should always refer to manual since all vehicles makers are different

@gregorymark6014 2 года назад

OK, I have a question. I understand taking the screen out to remove the old fluid, but I would think that the screen is there to keep contaminates from being poured in, not for keeping stuff from coming out. Just me, but I'd pour the new brake fluid in through the the screen. Isn't that what it is there for?

@tc3sean 3 года назад

I have been using the vacuum assisted suckers for a long time, PRO-TIP:: put some grease around the threads near the base of caliper to make a airtight seal.

Awesome advise! Thank you very much.

Did my 2017 CRV with a friend pumping the brakes and it took 30 onces of fluid to do it

@greenleaf9274 2 года назад

First off, thank you for this video. I was real skeptical about changing it myself but I grew the courage to just go and do it. I didn’t have the rear suction issue. However, the nipple screws in the back were 11mm instead of the 10mm in the front. Overall it was a complete success!

@projectfixit Год назад

Excellent!

@gregpeyton2754 7 месяцев назад

I noticed air in the vacuum line that did not go away. I don't know if there was a leak in the connection with the valve but I would probably have run the vacuum line up. The hose fills with fluid and you're sure to avoid getting air back in the caliper.

@mikea5205 4 года назад

They say start with the caliper furthest away from the reservoir. Any reason you didn't do that?

@projectfixit 4 года назад

For this vehicle I followed some forums and the orientation I chose was what I found......So....that's what I did. It was quite mind boggling once you try to research this subject. In the end, I just chose this way. Thank you for bringing this topic up as I am sure it could stir some interesting conversation. Thank you for watching!

@Sanmiguelito2011 4 года назад

I just did mine thank you this was a very helpful video. I took off about 4oz each side for the front and about 6 oz for each side in the rear. One question I started RF,LF, RR, RL order. Is this make a signicative difference?

@projectfixit 4 года назад

@@Sanmiguelito2011 Awesome! Thank you for watching. Maybe there is a Honda Certified tech out there who can answer the question on order of which wheel to do first and consequences, if any, when switching the order. I suspect there isn't any real negative affects in switching the order. Maybe if one is trying to bleed air out of the system there would be a required order. In that case, the person may have bigger issues on hand.

4th gen CRV starts from driver side then passegner, rear passenger and rear driver.

Would you advice for a brake fluid change vs a fluid flush when copper leaves are beyond 300? Got a 2011 CRV

@edmon179 5 месяцев назад

boss thank u for sharing your video. how many DOT 3 bottles do i need yo do the process. thanks. appreciated

@Mike-vd2qt 3 года назад

My 2018 CRV is at 32,000, looked into Honda service for brakes and CVT trans fluid change. Egad $270 for CVT flush! After watching videos it looks like brake fluid change is a lot more work than the CVT fluid change. Decided to go with an independent Honda service for half the price, family owned shop with great Yelp reviews.

@iamChiragRana 10 месяцев назад

I drove 47k miles and never got the brake fluid indicator 🤔 also I don't want to go to dealership and I'm not that strong to do mechanical service but would it be good enough to just use the pump, remove the old oil and replace it with new dot3 and call it a day instead of going thru extra steps of messing with caliper from each wheel. By doing the bare minimum, my logical guess is that it will eventually clean up from the wheels right? Or do I need to do full flush? Because when ur son pressed the brake the fluid did release. So in the long run my bare minimum will become effective right?

@Anon-Ymous2065 2 месяца назад

I don't think so. Under normal conditions significant amounts of brake fluid are not consumed. The only time fluid from the reservoir gets very far into the hydraulic lines is when the brake pads wear which causes the calipers to have to clamp down further on the rotors, in effect increasing the length of the brake lines. If all you replace is the fluid in the reservoir then most of the tired fluid in your system remains. By the way you don't have to go to a dealer for this service. Any competent shop can do it for less. Just make sure they know the unusual bleeding order for this car: LF, RF, RR, LR.

@rakesh0085 2 года назад

Thanks for this great video. Do you also have to reset the indicator in dash or it goes off on its own after fluid is changed?

@projectfixit 2 года назад

Yes. You will need to reset the maintenance minder in the vehicle.

@franka6790 2 года назад

Why is that the 2 man method is your preference? Can you state te difference.

@projectfixit 2 года назад

It's just a preference of mine as to me it seems to push the fluid through the lines faster. This is just my opinion. Thanks for the input! Take care.

How did you dispose of the old fluid?

@projectfixit Год назад

Check your state regulations. It's possible you can mix it with your used motor oil and then dispose of the oil properly. I take my used oil to the auto parts store for recycling. Wal-Mart takes used oil, too. Otherwise, keep in a sealed container and ask the auto parts store where you may dispose.

@milliondollaboiibsb4927 2 года назад

Is it true you have to change the brakes in order to replace fluid because that's what Honda dealer told me but my brakes are still good just low on fluid

@mynew5524 2 года назад

No. If your pads are good just add brake fluid.

@projectfixit 2 года назад

Hmmm. I wouldn't believe so. Maybe they were just trying to sell you some brake pads.

@LivingLife128 2 года назад

when your brakes were new the fluid should be at the max. as the brakes wear, the brake fluid will go down as the pistons expand father out due to pad wear. . this is normal since it is a closed system. so unless you have a leak in your system, low fluid does indicate pad wear.

@homemadejoy1047 4 года назад

Never once did I change the brake fluid...

@projectfixit 4 года назад

I must say, this is something I have overlooked on all of my vehicles in the past. With today's sophisticated brake systems, it's probably more important these days compared to the past.

@mackendw 6 месяцев назад

you can buy a brake fluid test kit that samples the amount of water in the fluid. too high and get the brakes hot enough and the fluid will boil leaving you with no brakes potentially.

@@wayneporter2037 Either DOT3 or DOT4 is acceptable. They have similar chemistries but DOT4 will boil at a higher temperature. I use DOT4 on all my older vehicles that call for DOT3. I recommend reading about the differences online.
