If you have replaced a brake hose, line, wheel cylinder, master cylinder or installed a disc brake kit you need to bleed your brake system. Bleeding your brake system is a crucial and possibly the most important step to maintain a safe, reliable vehicle. Remember that if you are not comfortable bleeding your brake system, consult a professional.

Jbugs videos are simply the best! You've helped this novice install a new trans core, a new engine, new disc brakes and fix many things along the way. All of your videos are so helpful! Thank you!

@johnwarfn 4 года назад

I followed this procedure step by step and it worked. Thank you JBugs!

@SuperSteve01974 6 лет назад

Thanks for taking the time and making a video how to install these brakes..

@dunebuggy1286 Год назад

I wish I had this video 15 years ago also.

@Sam_Mebane Год назад

Better late than never? Except with brakes and stopping perhaps....stopping late isn't ideal.

@dunebuggy1286 Год назад

I went to a car show a couple of weeks ago, and the retaining clip that holds the pin into the master cylinder brake rod must not have been peened over. The pin fell out and lost my brakes pulling into the show. Luckily, I was only goingn5mph and used hand brake.

@freeflydenny 3 года назад

When turning the disc with NO brake pressure, how much drag is acceptable?

@ChalkTalk76 4 года назад

Thanks for the video... why not DOT 4 brake fluid?

@Sam_Mebane 3 года назад

We've never had any issues with DOT3 on street cars. For more performance oriented cars we run DOT4, after making sure that all the DOT3 fluid has been flushed out.

@TylerHarney 5 лет назад

What type of solvent can I use to clean up brake fluid?

@JBugsVWParts 5 лет назад

Soap and water will clean up brake fluid, no need for solvents.

@robfleenor9624 2 года назад

What brake reservoir are you using? Do you have a part number for this one, and do you sell it?

@JBugsVWParts 2 года назад

It is linked here: www.jbugs.com/product/17-2878.html

@gr2262 4 года назад

Should the vent in the cap be sealed,or capped off to prevent leaks?

@Sam_Mebane 3 года назад

The vent has to "vent". Do not block it off.

@gregoryschwarz2730 2 года назад

If there are two bleeder valves per wheel do you have to bleed both?

@Sam_Mebane 2 года назад

Not typically, no. "Universal" calipers (calipers that fit the left or right side of the car) will have two bleeders so the caliper can be used on either side. The upper bleeder is bleed as air bubbles will be at the top.

@huntervilla5346 6 лет назад

do you have a carpet kit installation video?

@JBugsVWParts 6 лет назад

Nothing online as of yet, we do have our interior restoration DVD which covers the installation of a conversion style headliner, seat upholstery, door panels and the front and rear carpet kits.

@MarkKurosaki 2 года назад

Is there a tutorial for drum brakes (rear)?

@Sam_Mebane 2 года назад

The process is the same for drum brakes, but yes, we have done a few bleeding tutorials as people seem to struggle with it. Here's one - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qt3WQmv8SX0.html

@Quentin60isthenew40 3 года назад

No spacers between the two chassis sheet metal panels. Not surprising. But not replacing these important parts is very cheesy. They are there for a good reason. Light torque on two 8mm bolts (not 13mm) to not crush sheet metal... I think one good panic stop will shift your master cylinder and make it loose.

@JBugsVWParts 3 года назад

You are correct, the spacers absolutely should be installed. As our car was and is in the process of being restored and not driven regularly, and didn’t have the spacers in when we pulled the original, we couldn’t put them back in. Regardless, the spacers should be installed.

Bleeding the master cylinder is not required?

@Sam_Mebane Год назад

BENCH bleeding the master is not required, no. The whole brake system does need to be bled like normal.

@nholland8737 Год назад

@@Sam_Mebane This works best with a vacuum pump initially? The two person method has not been effective for me.
