Really good video, however, being a mechanic of 35 years, you should always bleed the furthest brake from the calliper first. This way it keeps air that may be in this system from bleeding back to the master cylinder. Bleeding from the closest to the farthest could have you chasing the air bubbles all around the system. In saying that, everything else was spot on. Good job and keep up the good work.

@MCFIXIT 11 месяцев назад

Thanks so much. I found that online from Honda to do it in that order. Often I do it how you described though.

@CouponChu 2 месяца назад

Yes I have always thought to bleed furtherest from the master cylinder first. However, the Honda states the closest first (Front left) which confuses me.

@raywerstler7982 5 месяцев назад

Definitely a big help I'm 16 and learning how to do the brakes so I can save money

@MCFIXIT 5 месяцев назад

You are welcome. Best of luck with your project. I was 15 and a half when I bought my first car and had my temps. I changed the brakes on the car before I was 16 bc they were shot. There wasn’t RU-vid then but I got a book and read how to do it. I’m a visual learner so it would have been awesome to have a video back then, but either way is doable and saves a lot of money to do it yourself. Be safe, have fun with it, buys some quality tools that will last, and save that money!

@raywerstler7982 5 месяцев назад

@@MCFIXIT yes thank u I saved about 500 bucks and was a good experience it took me about 3 hours to do the whole truck. bought the car for about 300 bucks and have been driving it around since I got my license at 15 and since I mess around with friends a lot I kind of ran through them 😂

That's great! Keep doing things like this and it will save you so much money over the years!

Perfect timing on this video, ha. '06 from NY, so the same amount of rust and desperately needs brakes done. love the tutorial!

@dave2574 Год назад

Great video! The way I usually do brakes is to compress the piston/pistons while the caliper is still on the vehicle.

@MCFIXIT Год назад

Yes, I know you can do that. This is the method I was taught years ago and has less potential of ruining calipers (is what I was told).

@dave2574 Год назад

@@MCFIXIT How would using a c clamp ruin a caliper? Squeezing the pistons before removing the caliper also helps it come off much easier.

@MCFIXIT Год назад

I thought you meant with a screw driver. I’ve seen a lot of shorts where they do that to “save time”. They just jam it up in there with the pads on. Theres a lot of damage that is possible with that. I don’t remember who published that video but it was trending a few days ago. But yeah, a c-clamp will work fine.

Well done. Getting ready to do mine this coming weekend! Thanks for the specs and knowledge. I bet my screws are going to need to be drilled out bc the roots are so worn and rusted!

@Paul-bq1rx Год назад

There's no need to bleed the brakes unless their's air in the lines but that wouldn't happen unless you opened a bleeder screw or if you was changing the caliper.

@MCFIXIT Год назад

It’s something I was taught years ago to do to help make the brakes firmer. There’s lots of debate it if really helps or not. I think it does, so I do it. But yes, we did not introduce air into the closed line system.

@alt9874 Год назад

Good job. I'd suggest cleaning and wiping down both sides of the new rotor BEFORE installing, it's just easier. Also, bleeding the brakes is not really necessary since you did not disconnect the brake lines.

@MCFIXIT Год назад

GREAT tips! I have always bleed brakes when doing them. Yes, you are not exposing the line to air, but I always think it makes them firmer. Nothing is every like original brakes from the factory though.

@tkorte101 2 месяца назад

It's a good idea to bleed out the old fluid at each caliper before compressing the pistons. That fluid has been subjected to a lot of heat & degradation and you don't want it being pushed back onto sensors. Just bleed enough so that you get clean stuff coming out, then compress calipers.

You vids deserve awards! Amazing man. Need to switch out my pads, how do I determine in the rotors need changing as well? Thx.

@MCFIXIT 10 месяцев назад

I can tell by how thick they are or if you have grooves, scratched, scored, or unsmooth rotors. I like to change my out about every other brake job.

@sleepwalker29 4 месяца назад

There was no 2015 Ridgeline. They stopped production in 2015 and 2016 to build a new factory. 2014 Special Edition Ridgeline was the last 1st gen made, and limited production for SE.

@keiraboisvertsoftball4930 Год назад

Thanks for the video! What’s the reason the front lines are bled first rather than the furthest away? Is it a rear ABS system?

@MCFIXIT Год назад

That’s what Honda suggested in my service manual. 4 wheel abs system

@keiraboisvertsoftball4930 Год назад

@@MCFIXIT gotcha. Thanks!

@jamescdean9010 8 месяцев назад

You really make some great videos for a Ridgeline. Nice of your honey to help with the brake bleed. Take her out to a nice dinner with the $ from youtube. Also, get yourself an electric ratchet. You'll be glad you did.

@MCFIXIT 8 месяцев назад

Thanks! I will do that this weekend :) I have a m12 ratchet but I’m not a huge fan of it. Some basic things it’s great but I guess I’m old school and love a basic ratchet and knowing I’m not going to strip or over tighten anything

@andreg2727 Год назад

What size of vinyl hose is recommended for the brake bleed, to fit snug on the nipple on this model of ridgeline?

@MCFIXIT Год назад

I'll be honest, I don't know. I had extra hose laying around. My guess would be about 1/4 ID. Best of luck on your project!

@1BeGe 8 месяцев назад

What's the hose size to fit on that bleeding nipple?

@MCFIXIT 8 месяцев назад

My guess is a 1/4 inch. I just had old tubing laying around my garage and I found one that fit. So I don’t have an exact answer. Often you can it by the foot at HD, Lowes, or Ace for less than a dollar. I’d get a few that are around that diameter.

@1BeGe 8 месяцев назад

@@MCFIXIT Sounds good, thanks.

Your camera is not positioned to show the area being processed!

@MCFIXIT Год назад

Sorry about that. It’s just me recording, doing the work, and editing it. It is easy for the camera to be bumped and not the work as good as I’d like. I hope you got the gist of what was needed to complete the project yourself.
