@MrMaster2262 7 месяцев назад

You shouldn't need to empty the old fluid from the reservoir as when you start bleeding all the old fluid will be sucked through ending up in the bottle container. the new fluid will then be sucked through becoming cleaner as you're bleeding... great video, really informative, fully explained in great detail. many thanks 😉👍

@malcolmmarzo2461 8 лет назад

After fifty years of bleeding brakes by many methods, I wish I would have had this tool years ago. Just tried it on a difficult old Toyota Landcruiser job that included a new master cylinder. Really dirty lines and cylinders. Lots of air to deal with. The HF air vacuum bleeder made an otherwise pain in the ass procedure really fast and pleasant. Now I can do my own brake flushes on my other cars--and save the $120 charged by shops.

@RichDasix 3 месяца назад

just ordered a kit like this for myself, I'm tired of the old methods and this seems to work pretty dang good. Fingers crossed it'll solve my spongy brakes.

@murrayd7259 4 года назад

Nice video. One hint though. If you point the hose upward from the bleeder it's easier to see when the air bubbles are gone and just clear fluid is running out. You can also hold one finger on the back of the rubber fitting to ensure a good seal. That's one nice thing about this kit with the one handed trigger operation. Others have a lever and it take two hands to turn it on and off.

FYI, you can use the bleeder kit to vacuum out the fluid in the reservoir also. That way you can clean it out with some brake cleaner and get all the gunk that settles inside the reservoir. Vacuum out the gunk and brake cleaner then start your bleeding sequence.

@robertnewman9951 6 лет назад

May be worth a try; Certainly better than using a Myti-Vac hand vacuum pump. It should be adequate for changing fluid, but if one is bleeding the brake system, e.g. after a master cylinder change, it's difficult with vacuum bleeding because the threads on the loosened bleeder valve always leak a little and introduce bubbles into the stream; it's hard to tell where those are coming from, the system or just those leaky threads. Pressure bleeding from the master cylinder is the best method, but more time and tooling is needed to do that.

@thowe2823 9 лет назад

Thanks Peter aka "Dial2Fast" for the great videos! I was able to replace all 4 rotors and break pads on on 2006 Honda Odyssey saving hundreds of $ thanks to you. Everything works great, got the breaks from Brakemotive and couldn't be happier. The only issue I had was with the Break bleeding kit from Harbor Freight. It worked fine for the front lines, but it just couldn't get enough pressure (yes tried the grease) for the back lines so we had to bleed the breaks the old fashioned way with a tube , a jar full of brake fluid and my brother pumping the brakes. Couldn't have done it without your videos though so thanks again!

@Roller76 4 года назад

Were you using the required pressure on your compressor? They require a 20+ gallon tank but between 7 to 19 gallon tanks they say is doable. But 1 to 6 gallon tanks aren't recommended. I don't know what you did but the pressure cant be less than 90 and no more than 120.

The HF bleeder is good brake fluid bleeder. I think mine is 5 years old, no cracked parts or anything. The rubber end that fits to the bleeder screw is still in perfect condition as is the fluid line. Used it again his morning and it gave me a perfect fluid flush. The only thing I dislike is how it consumes lots of your compressor air, so it will keep the motor running if it’s a small 12 gallon compressor.

@donfunk6534 4 года назад

Detailed video, thanks! I would point out that I purchased this bleeder form Harbor "Fright" and mine did NOT come with the air hose coupler attachment that yours had when you unboxed it. It is the part that screws into the end of the handle that connects to your air hose fitting. Remember to buy one of these or you can't attach it and use nylon tape to seal it on the screw threads. I LOVE the bleeder. I used it on my BMW motorcycle and will do the car brakes when I swap out the rotors/pads.

@andrewschwallenberg140 6 лет назад

The reason your bleeding sequence is reversed is probably because you have an ABS unit located in the rear driver's side of the vehicle. If that's the case, your furthest point would actually be front passenger.

@josephfernandez9273 Год назад

Excellent demonstration, all critical points covered.

@Marco-fi6gv 5 лет назад

I bought same bleeder kit at harbor freight, I use it every pad replacement. I hook it up as I'm compressing each caliper so get all that nasty stuff out. I drink reservoir as far down as I can before I start too and then top off. I keep refilling fluid as I go to each caliper. I figure I'm going to be replacing a good portion of it that way each time I do brakes. Why not it's cheap. Anyway this thing is Handy and it's paid for itself over and over. I've used it to do my diff fluid clutch too, even though bot says brake fluid only on bottle.

@naturestan 7 лет назад

I have used this tool and discovered that it works just fine at only 40 psi. I've used it on a new brake line itself to clear them of debris, which I have found when I remove the rubber piece! Pieces of a Viva towel that i used to wipe the edge of the MC. Bad idea, use a rag instead. I then attached the line to the wheel cylinder and used a speedy bleeder. Have also used this tool on a disc/drum system at 40 psi with great results, however it may have distorted the in-line 10# residual valve's seal. The lower pressure keeps the wheel cylinder cups from buckling under too much vacuum 'pressure' and leaking air past the edges of the seal.

Honda Odyssey is also odd in how they check the transmission fluid level. For all my 78 years, it used to be put vehicles in Park after running it through the gears and check with the engine running. With the Odyssey, you warm it up til the fan comes on - put it in Park and SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. Then, you wait 30 seconds but no more than 90 seconds to pull the dipstick and check the fluid level. I'll have to see if the clearance for the bottle on my 2007 Odyssey is different than on your vehicle.

@dial2fast 8 лет назад

+Brian Poynton DOT4 is not specific to car manufacturer. DOT4 has a higher boiling point than DOT3. You should use whats recommended in your user manual. As to bleeding from the furthest out first, that should be the case for most cars, but it depends what the service manual recommends. My 08 Odyssey Honda service manual say to bleed the front driver first.

@Flammable281 8 лет назад

I used to think that as well and if you are removing air from the system then yes. However for doing brake fluid flush/replacement I started using this procedure and if you think about it it makes perfect sense. I remove most of the old fluid from master cylinder with a turkey baster then refill with new fluid. Then I bleed the wheel closest to the master cylinder first until fluid comes out clean. Then bleed the farthest from the master cylinder which is usually the rear passenger wheel. Then the drivers rear wheel and last the passenger front wheel. The reason for bleeding their closets wheel first is that all the old fluid is flushed out of the master cylinder and when you bleed the furthest wheel it's clean fluid going thru the system instead of old. I learned this from Eric the car guy channel.

@Tj1056 7 лет назад

it all depends on where the ABS and fluid container are. Some cars have the ABS in the rear which would mean you need to start with the front wheels and work back

Theres no need to pull the old fluid out before bleeding the system. Just flush the old crap through.

Flush it on through till the fluid runs clear showing that the NEW fluid has worked its way through the sytem pushing the old fluid out infront of it. :)

@kimkramer1983 5 лет назад

Could you just have used the syringe with the clear tubing attached to the bleeder valve, instead of the compressed-air & bleeder bottle set-up? You'd attach the syringe-with-tubing to the bleeder valve, open the bleeder valve, then pull back on the syringe to suction out the brake fluid; close the bleeder valve before detaching the clear tubing/syringe. It appears that the pneumatic bleeder is basically doing the same thing by suctioning out the brake fluid with negative pressure created by the compressed air passing through the catch bottle. Also, since you're not using the inverted fill-bottle at the master cylinder reservoir, there's the risk of drawing out too much fluid with the compressed-air suction; thus, "emptying" out the master cylinder reservoir and potentially causing damage to the master cylinder. Just a thought to simplify the procedure. Any thoughts?

You don't need to astroglide the bleeders, and the line from the bleeder should be hanging from above to see the new fluid, and prevent bubbles in the line.

@jsixamore 5 лет назад

scott17818 exactly what I was thinking

@captainwho1 Год назад

I was thinking that he should've put that grease on the threads of the bleeder nipple. Putting it where he put it would perhaps help to seal but also could help it to slip off. That's not where the air usually gets in anyways, when vacuum bleeding.

@MrDavidstarks 9 лет назад

The correct order in which to bleed the brakes is from the farthest one from the master cylinder up to the closest one to the master cylinder. That way you ensure no old fluid is still trapped in the process. Thanks for the informal video!

@dial2fast 9 лет назад

dav man You are absolutely correct and that's what I've been taught. No idea why Honda service manual was written that way.

@MrDavidstarks 9 лет назад

Awesome dial2fast. I didn't know you followed the Honda manual. In that case you did it properly for the Odyssey. Thanks again for the very informative video.

@nitroburner77 9 лет назад

dav man It's most likely because of the ABS.

@elifire4147 2 года назад

Furthest from the ABS NOT the Master Cylinder.

@bobnoxious1983 5 месяцев назад

Nice video. Do you need to close the master cylinder cap after each fill before starting the bleed with the kit?

@dial2fast 5 месяцев назад

You don't need to put the cap on.

@tanello2 9 лет назад

only full drum breake cars u have to start in the back right wheel, every car that has disk breakes, even if the disk in only on the front, then u still start the bleeding from the front.

@thehornblasterjohnny 5 лет назад

As a general rule you start at the "longest brake line" from either the master cylinder or the ABS module. This is what confuses people because many foreign cars have their ABS modules located in the rear, meaning you'd start in the front where as many American cars they are located closer to the front. Not always the case but you get the point. Key is to locate the line from the master cylinder to the ABS module then find the wheel furthest from that module. This would be the front wheels if its located in the rear or if the module is in the front, you'd start in the rear. The basics are the same... it just varies dependent on the location of that module. ;-) Thats why people will say that you don't have to start in the passenger rear now.

Thanks for sharing! Question; Do you need to pump the brakes or hold the brake pedal down at all during the process? Thanks again. 👍

@dial2fast 3 месяца назад

This is a one person job, so no need to pump/hold the brake while vacuuming the fluid.

Hi, how much pressure you got in compresor

@jameswan670 3 года назад

what is the work logic that compressor will push air into the bleed bottle, but how it does suction the brake fluid from the fluid line? and does it bleed air in the ABS module?

@leben6308 6 месяцев назад

Thank you,

@richardking6066 3 года назад

The grease needs to go on the bleed-nipple threads (not the nipple itself) to stop air leakage!

@chasedyer9819 3 года назад

Will any type of grease work, or do you need a specific kind? Couldn’t hear what he called it

@richardking6066 3 года назад

@@chasedyer9819 I'd feel safer using red rubber grease.. BTW I no longer use the Pneumatic Brake Fluid Bleeder - I find it MUCH easier to simply use a large syringe and a short length of silicon pipe to pull the fluid out! at each hub!

@timbarnett3898 5 лет назад

Dad always made us use box end wrench around bleeder valve to unloosen first initially from so locked position, hear how the bolt snapped loudly when you broke it loose! (box end better fit an not round off flat edges of bleeder valve. After cracked open use either end of wrench but I always used box end set first on valve then bleeder hose kept wrench in place on valve) Tim Also could you put that auto fill on a IV type bag so can form around body parts over master cylinder?

@jerlaine1638 5 лет назад

Tim Barnett he might live in an area where rust isn’t an issue which is generally why in Utah at least we do the same as you and use the box end

@captainwho1 Год назад

I agree, and preferably a 6 point box wrench. But you can try a regular wrench first and just don't apply too much torque to where you can damage anything. I'm not sure if penetrating oil is advisable here. Maybe silicone based if there is one......

@saltiestwaltiest4472 2 года назад

The hose should be facing up in case there is any air in the system. It will prevent it from going back in the bleeder valve.

@captainwho1 Год назад

Probably doesn't matter as long as you close the bleeder valve while it is still under vacuum and wait to open it until it is under vacuum.

@Ryan_1997 4 года назад

@sebtarta 7 лет назад

Just and FYI you always start bleeding from the FURTHEST brake caliper from the MC (mastercylinder) rear right (passenger) rear left (driver) front right and front left to finish.

@ajstoner21 4 года назад

Always follow what the shop manual says. It depends on if it's a "diagonally split" system and such. If the manufacturer specifies a specific order, follow it. There is probably good reason.

@jwerner3903 Год назад

Tried to use this with an 8 gallon HF compressor, not enough compressor volume to get any flow to come out of the bleeder valves. Tried from 90 to 120 psi, fluid only came out in small drops. 1/2 pint is all that came out in 45 minutes. Waste of time. I’m going to rig up a vacuum cleaner to it for the suction.
