Yep, I learned this the hard way. Whether you think you need it or not, WD-40 the bleeder screws for a hour, then start the removal with the a socket (or at least the box-end of the wrench). DON'T start dry, and DON'T start with the open-end of the wrench, because you're not applying equal torque around the bleeder screw and it will deform and break.

Air hammer+penetration oil working 100% on every try I did . But please be patient.Thanks for posting .

You’re a Saint! I’ve been spraying penetrating fluid for hours and thought about using the impact but was too scared of something breaking off. But I also like putting the anti seize before install. That’ll save a headache down the road.

So helpful! I'm trying to do this myself as I'd already paid a garage to bleed my brakes only to find they clearly hadn't done the brake lines and must have just pulled from the MC. Every other video had blow-torch wielding folks that made me envisage my whole car blowing up (surely heat + petrol?!) Will update to let you know how it goes!

@whaler3232 Год назад

Its nice to have patience and the various tools - I have neither :)

@dilbertmcfly5986 Год назад

You are a treasure. Great guide. However, mine are super stuck. Tried flare wrench, socket, snapped it, tried screw extractor, propane, more propane, hammering, propane + freeze out, and snapped screw extractor too. PITA

for the bleeding part. i use little check-valve thingy that hook up to the bleeder nipple. you just pump the brake until the fluid is running clear and you are done. they sell for 2-3$.

@mugs132 2 года назад

Thanks the tip! I know there’s something similar -> Speed Bleeder brand screws. Really popular in the race community for quick bleeds but just as helpful for any shade tree mechanic. They have stainless steel screws which would’ve helped prevent my issue! www.speedbleeder.com/index.htm

I should watch this first, my brake nipples are rownded now on my volvo s60. Some say you heat it and it easier. Anyway I'm thinking to change them with new one. Thanks for the video.

I would put the rubber caps on each brake bleeder and good video

Do you replace them after the fact if they are freezing

@billsmith2212 Год назад

Step One : NEVER use an open end or 12 point wrench on any bleeder . If I have to explain that to anyone , we are done here .

@Jmg831 10 месяцев назад

Explain

@bEEBO178 10 месяцев назад

@@Jmg831Because of the propensity for them to easily slip and round of the head. Just a naff way of doing things. Single hex deep socket is best.

@harleyrider883 3 месяца назад

Hello, great video, thanks! Just wondering how you stopped all of the fluid in the system from draining when you removed the bleeder screw? Thanks!

@barrycorney3665 Месяц назад

Hose clamp on flexible rubber hose to the caliper or you could get a bar/rod and inside depress the brake pedal and keep it pressured against say the seat with the rod....with the pedal depressed there's a vacuum seal in the lines because the MC has been closed so nothing should come out the lines even without clamping.

@harleyrider883 Месяц назад

@@barrycorney3665 It is invariably such a simple thing the second someone explains it to you, even though it defeats me for hours before that! Thanks!

@richardc7721 Год назад

You are far less likely to break a fastener or bleed screw by using an impact tool than be manually trying to remove them. Wax is great for breaking them loose, heat it then press wax against the threads allowing it to melt as it cools it will pull the melted wax down the threads. Let cool to room temperature and remove.

6 point socket or wrench

Not sure why you keep taking the power bleeder off. Fill the bleeder…pressurize to 15…after each bleed … make sure to pump back to 15.

@hanus1987 Год назад

Hi. If you put break fluid into your power bleeding tool you cant fill up your reservoar. Here is link ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ej7tZEBbqrI.html

@mugs132 Год назад

I like to use the pump just for air pressure. I do not fill the pump with fluid, but like you point out it can also be done that way so you don’t have to fill the reservoir multiple times. I think it’s cleaner, less chance of contamination doing it the way demonstrated in the video.
