DIY Brake Fluid Change/Bleed MADE EASY 

Hello mr ranger, great videos always, been always useful to me in my DIYs and saved me some money. When are you going to do a complete timing belt change video and/or complete engine mounts replacement video please? Can't wait to see those. Thanks.

africa.fs.07 they are coming up stay tuned

@@africa.fs.0719 my dad decades ago told saving money was the name of the game

What spray did you use to clean the brake fluid container and cap?

All his videos are remarkably good at dispensing BS and getting to the point.

Same!

I think size 47 or 48 😂

10+ min video's are because they are getting $$ if you watch all 10+ min WITH commercials

Hello Sir, I've just completed my rear drum brake job. I'm thrilled. You were the engine that helped and pushed me to do it. In the beginning, it seemed daunting, and if something went wrong, I was apprehensive in knowing what to do. I didn't renew the brake shoes, that wasn't the problem. The problem was that the brakes weren't releasing after overnight parking. I assumed something had seized. In the process of refitting the shoes, I caught the cylinder seal and a little fluid seaped out. I've just bled that cylinder and all went great. In future, I won't be afraid of having a look because I now have the confidence to go forward. That's all down to you, my friend. Sleep well tonight Sir. I am one of the many people you've helped. Thank you, and Godbless you. Ps. I've just watched it again. Straight, to the point, is easy to follow. Genius, my friend. You should be in Hollywood with films like that! 😉.

when the fluid starts coming out nice and clean with no air bubbles

@@MrRangerZr1 thank you!

I meant not to push the brake pedal beyond normal travel, don't push on the brake pedal all the way down to the floor.

Lol

Front left, front right, rear right, rear left.

@@MrRangerZr1 thank you..

Don't let the system completely run out of fluid when you're pumping the brakes, always make sure there is fluid in the reservoir when you're bleeding the brakes, don't let it go past the low mark.

@@MrRangerZr1 Strange -- we could see the very bottom of the reservoir!!

Honda shop manual says front left, front right, rear right, rear left

@@MrRangerZr1 Service manual for 92-95 Civic says Rear Right, Front Left, Rear Left, Front Right. (Page 19-13).

All Audi's since 2009 or so say to start with the left front, then right front, then rear left, and rear right.

It depends on the car. Usually with left hand drive cars the rear passenger side is the first one based on the longest distance from the master cylinder. In some cars the abs system may change that. You have to follow the scheme laid out in the service manual of the particular car and it's version.

Driver side front, passenger front, drive rear left, finally passenger rear right.

It's the same time for the other sides, I did them all.

Means fluid itself is in good condition

No engine will be off when you're bleeding

@@MrRangerZr1 thank man much appreciated 🙏

Basically when you feel the click when tightening with the torque wrench set to a certain value, you reached the set value and you don't need to tighten anymore than that.

@@MrRangerZr1 Oh so in those wrenches you can setup how much torque you want to turn, right thanks I've been binge watching a lot of these videos in preparation for my new car and I always get lost. Thank you so much !!!!

I naturally & respectfully assume that you are using a torque wrench (as against an ordinary wrench) to do the job in the first place??? All torque wrenches have a set of simple instructions that they come with & the tool itself is very easy to use & set to the desired torque setting you want!! It's actually school boy stuff & I'm only a DIY mechanic. (I normally service boring computers, ugh!!) Plenty of good instructional videos on Torque Wrench use on "RU-vid".

@@brendonrutherford5118 yes! I thought it had to be measured in a specific way but I recently bought a Dexter torque w

Check link in description for specs

It'll work on your accord

You need to flush the system out for air and contaminants once in a while

no

It has a check valve

Once the fluid comes out clean

No it has a check valve so you can do this all by yourself

It has a check valve. One of the best tools I bought.

Me too, always...

Yes it does. Trust me, one of the best things I bought for the garage. Bleeds brakes perfectly with no fuss.

I don't think chris fix said to force the pedal but he shows himself forcing down the pedal in his video. You are stressing the master cylinder and it's seals when you force the pedal farther down than normal operation. This may result is brake failure.

You can see the old fluid coming out at 1:43 when clear fluid starts to come out you're good to go.

Honda shop manual says front left, front right, rear right, rear left.

Link in the description

when the fluid comes out clear

yes

You start at the wheel which is farthest from the master cylinder first and work your way to the closest. On most vehicles the starting point would be the passenger rear tire, then driver side rear passenger front then drive or front.

off

CRV. Can be applied to all vehicles.

After

What car? Some cars need a scantool to bleed in that kind of scenario.

Dot 4 is more for performance oriented cars, or if you brake like a mad man. Dot 3 will do just fine.

@@MrRangerZr1 I greatly appreciate your help man, thank you🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Just do one at a time

It was really bad

Yes. Driver left, then driver right, then driver rear, finally rear passenger.

Forcing the pedal can damage the master cylinder and seals. The brakes don't work? Did you check over your install?

Well I did the process again bleeding the system and this time I did the open and shut method all four areas and my brakes are complete and fix. But I can’t thank you enough for your reply and I really appreciate that I will recommend others and myself to watch more vids and like and sub thanks

You should see it with the lid removed and fluid should be going one way and not reversing.

That is completely wrong. You do not want to go further down than normal pedal travel. That will stress the seals booster etc

@@MrRangerZr1 but this way with bleeder open is going to get Air into ??

@@jose15pina1 No that's why you just crack the bleeder screw open, no need to unscrew it too much. Plus this bottle has a check valve.

Yes

This car was pretty bad so it took about 2 32 ounce bottles

@@MrRangerZr1 oh so about 2L of fluid total?

that won't flush the system

It’s pretty neat lol

Over a gallon is extreme. If dirt keeps on coming out, the system is really corroded.

@@MrRangerZr1 I just won't stop until everything looks exactly as the liquid from the bottle 😂

@@rafars2246 Lol

Depends how dirty it is, but yes about a liter

no

You'll need a scantool to operate the ABS.

Engine off

Thanks for the reply, one more query for you... If we place a air filled ballon over the reservoir, will it help to take fluid out of the wheel cylinder without pressing the brake pedal....

@@anoopgoel2225 they have a system like that, but this way works well on any car

Got it, many thanks

You are actually supposed to remove negative battery cable first according to my Nissan manual
