How to change brake fluid by yourself with a pressure bleeder 

I'm interested in knowing why push the brake pedal when using a pressurized bleeder? I thought the whole point was you didn't have to keep getting in and pump the breaks?

As a series, these are , in my opinion, the highest quality automotive "do it yourself" instructional videos on RU-vid. I have attained a level of competence in working on my Porsches I never could have attained. Thank you.

Best brake fluid change video ever. Thank you.

Why are you pumping the brake. Surely the pressure you added (2 bar) will do the job.

There's an O-ring on the underside of the pump handle,I found it best to lube the O-ring. I had a replacement on a different model,and lubed the O-ring to save it from getting damaged

Excellent tutorial!👍🏼 Thank you!

Hi do you happen to know the the bleed pump adapter to the brake fluid reservoir is the same for a boxster 987 or do I need a different adapter? If so do you happen to know what size do I need? Thanks

Hello, I have a question regarding usage of this manual bleeder. What happend with the air which is in pipe between bleeder and brake servo tank ?. If you fill the servo tank with fresh fluid and then tight the cap with connector you have a small amount of air under the cap. After connecting the pipe, inside the pipe is air. Then, you start pumping the bleeder and fluid from bleeder is going to the car but before fluid is air which also goes to the servo brake tank. Is it works ? Are you sure that the air is not coming to the brake system of the car. I'm thinking about purchase this type of tool but I have a little bit worries 🙃

Make shore to dispose ‘uv yon skwiggly-doony alt brake fluid art thon yonder disposal centre at Smugglers Way, matey! Arrrrrrr shiver me timbers, wot wot!!

Great video...btw what make is your brake pressure bleeder & did it come with the correct master cylinder cap/adapter...?

Great video as always :) I've always just done this with two people, so, with the pressure bleeder, you add fluid there too? We used to have a 987 Boxster S and we would take it to the dealer because I believe you need to tell the computer to open valves (PSM) to flush the entire system. I got this from the Pelican site: "The basic Boxster brake system with anti-lock brakes (ABS 5.3 and 5.7 without PSM) can be bled using traditional methods. For cars with traction control or Porsche Stability Management (PSM), you need to use the Porsche System Tester 2 (PST2) in order to activate the valves in the hydraulic unit during the bleeding process. If your car has a "PSM off" switch on the dashboard, then you will need to go to a shop that has a PST2 so that the brake system can be bled properly." I'm a bit confused about all this so I'll have to do a bit more reading I suppose. I think of this as two steps flushing and then bleeding. I think this is maybe moot for you - I believe you sold your car almost a year ago :( I miss our Boxster... Franny

Hi I’ve the same lazer unit, can you tell me does your tube go down inside the bleeder to the bottom of it? Mine is brand new but the tube seems to just come off the top of the black cap on the bleeder and not extend down inside it! Bit confused as to how it will transfer fluid like this.

10mm socket?

Dont you have to bleed clutch since they use same fluid?

Hi, does the brake bleeder nut need to be torqued ?

How exactly did you get that filter out? It seems so brutal - I worry that I'll brake something...

do i need to change the oil when the brake fade occurs after exstrem racing ? or is it going to be good after it cool back

Does the Laser pressure bleeder fit the S2000 reservoir cap?

Why are you using a pressure bleeder if you are pumping the brakes? The whole point of the damn tool is so you don’t have to do that
