I have hits particular issue actually. The pedal braks at some position. While holding the pedal (suppose I'm on a red light), the pedal starts to sink slowly. At some point, the brake pedal reach the end position, so I need to release and push again. And the whole symphtom starts again.It starts to sink about 20 seconds of pushed. It's not inmediate.
ive follow this video step by step and changed the master cylinder brand new and the brake is still almost to the floor when i brake...the front and back have new brake pads also...what could be my problem? pls help...
@lamutaafua if it wasn't like that before, then you either got a bad master cylinder or didn't bleed the air out correctly. If it's a brand new, and not rebuilt master, pay a mechanic to power bleed it with his machine.
You make it look so easy. Of course being in the field for 40 + years, I'm sure most things become second nature after awhile. I've watched several of your videos within the past 30 minutes or so and I am loving them. :)
I prefer to bleed the lines, it's a little more work but that way you have clean fluid in the whole system. Important since old brake fluid has more moist in it which lowers the boiling point.
My pedal is still mushy after i bleed the lines. How can i tell if my master cylinder is failing? Anyway to test it? Shld i rebleed my lines again. The pedal is hard after a few pumps when it's off but as soon as i crank it up, it goes soft...
Scotty i have a few issues, and i hope you will be able to help me. I was driving my mom's 2004 accord and felt that the brake pedal is a little mushy. The car has 155k miles on it.
So i went and check all the lines, fluids, replaced the pads on all four and bleed the lines. After bleeding the lines, the pedal is hard after a few pumps but as soon as i turn the car on, the pedal went soft again.
Shld i rebleed it, or is it a master cylinder failure? How can i test if the master cylinder is l
@scottykilmer In cold mornings, when I reverse my car and then step on the brake pedal, there is no power to it. It only seems to happen just that once and then the brakes work normal. What could be the cause of this?
@scottykilmer My friends Nissan Pulsar hatch 2003 has a problem where the brake/s seem to stick to the pad and we have to go through a process of pumping the brakes, dropping a gear and floor the engine to get them to realease, otherwise we bearly do 60km/h. But its only seems to happen after say 15mins of driving and not all the time, mostly warm days and such, what could cause this?
@scottykilmer Just thought idlet you know what the problem was, wasn't the master cylinder. The last mechanic that the vehical went to must have been worked on by an apprentice on his first day because instead of topping up the brakes with brake fluid, he topped it with......ENGINE OIL. So its costing him at least $600 just to get it all cleard out and fixed and thats if it didnt get into the ABS. Again thankyou for your help, some people are idiots
@scottykilmer He had mechanics look at it and it was cleard, just said the brakes where fresh (and when it doesnt stick the brake pedal does sink a bit I believe but could just be the way its meant to be) The car has been well maintained and new brakes where put on in the first half of last year, so it has been rather trouble some, he is a LAME apprentice as well (Licenced Aircraft Maintenance Enginner) and is going to take of the brakes, what should he look for?
i changed my master cylinder as well as my brake line and when though a whole bottle of brake fluid to bleed the lines, but my brake pedal still passes the gas pedal "almost hitting the floor". when I'm driving if i give it two pumps then i get the pressure i want. both cylinder in the drums are new as well as the brake pad(F&R)
why when taking the lines off did you choose a flare wrench? is there a reason to use a flare wrench to loosen those types of lines or just what you grabbed first?
problem: usually on warm days at estimate 3 mins stop lights break pedal does this but then after release and tap breaks again seems more pressure is there. I've got a gut feeling its air in lines due too i dont see leaks. am i correct?
@thunderking323 NA, air has to get in somehow to do that, it doesn't just appear. So I would say the master cylinder is probably wearing out. If you lose fluid,it could be any part, so of course check the whole system is fluid is lost. Scottyy
great video scotty. i use basically the same method when i bleed brakes. seeing a guy with as much experience as you do it that way, makes me happy im doin it right. im not much for the bench bleed
You forgot to bench bleed the master cylinder. It will be full of air unless it's bench bled first. I like watching your videos but some of the stuff you do is kinda questionable.
Actually just changed a master cylinder on a Camry with basically the same setup. I have always used the same method that Scotty has shown here, just with the help of another mechanic. Brakes work perfectly every time.
Scotty, I have a question: I replaced my brake pads because they when I would step on the brakes, I had a grinding sound like worn pads grinding against my rotor. I replaced the worn pads, but it still makes the horrible grinding noise when I press on the brakes. Any suggestions?
i have a 2002 gmc sierra with abs and i feel my brake pedal going in preety deep but before i bought the vehicle it had a bag with a rubber band over it i already put new brake fluid in the brake lines and changed my brakes is it normal to still do that
@sickoneniner1904619 replace the brake master cylinder, air gets in there and water vapor with a bag on it, and pray other parts inside haven't been damaged also. Scotty
yesterday i opened the master cylinder cleaned it thoroughly and when i refitted i found that one of the pressure line not working and found that there is no suction by the master cylinder from the reservoir end, so no fluid coming out... could this be an issue.. anyways i am replacing the master cylinder, but will it resolve the primary problem, the jamming brakes ? my friend told me that a warp disc could be an issue too!
@tantragna those pieces mean the brake system was contaminated. Flush the entire system out when you replace the master and pray it hasn't messed up other stuff, like the callipers or ABS system if you have abs brakes. Scotty
@scottykilmer Thanks Scotty, I did flush the the lines after replacing the new master cylinder & now it is really good. I also did a 500+kms of trip to a rally championship and she is really feeling good now :)
Hi Scotty, I got an opposite problem to this.. it is neither leaking, but rather the brakes are getting jammed during driving.. sometimes it stalls on uphill
I tried by changing the caliper minor kit, replacing with new fluid. recently i found that there was some stuff inside the master cylinder reservoir, like tiny black plastic pieces, so cleaned and refitted. still not good enough. now the problem is better, but not resolved.
Hey Scotty The other day it was raining and my foot parking brake refused to stay down. I drive a toyota avalon 2002. Today it was dry again and the brake worked. What do you think happened? The rain normally doesn't affect that, first time.
Scotty, i have a question, when i drive around with my car and have to press hard on the break , it makes like the sound of air getting squeezed out of a bottle or something like that, also, when i tried the ABS system on my car, it dident really work, the weels dident got locked up or the abs light dident show up and there's no check engine light, you maybe know what the problem may be?
@saqiblookingood a short can burn out a clutch electronics, but more often the bearings burn out in the clutch and that's just mechanical wear. Scotty
guys do burnouts on RWD cars while brake pedal being pressed and front wheels stationary . with the brake pedal down how come the rear wheels spin ???
@arslan1804 Cause the engine is stronger than the brakes back there. Real burn out dudes put rear brake cut off switches on so they brakes don't come on in the back then. Scotty
@arslan1804 hey dude let me tell ya that most of the brake power in almost every car is on the front wheels even in awd cars so thats why you can do burnouts and drift and all that stuff... btw your rear brakes wont last very much doin that kind of stuff ;)
@markkjay No,not in most cases, as it makes a mess. But if your master is at an extreme angle pointing up when bolted on as some american cars are, yes, then you bench bleed it first. Scotty
@heavymetalX4Xgod I'd like to add here that if you're bleeding at the bleeder screws on the wheel cylinders that while scotty is right that this will work, it will be much less time consuming if you grab a friend to press and hold the brake while you loosen the bleeder screw since you'll have to do it several times to get all the air out.
@Greenfire2200 I have used a mason jar full of brake fluid and attached a small piece of clear hose on the bleeder. Put the hose from the bleeder in the mason jar, loosen the bleeder, get in the car and pump the brakes several times. It will push the air out into the jar and suck fluid back in.
@jughead63065 I use a similar setup. I have a Gatorade bottle with some vaccuum hose on either end of some clear tubing. The vaccuum hose seems to fit the bleeder valve better than the tubing. Then I have a weight on the tube in the bottle to hold it inside. You don't have to have but about 1/2" of fluid in bottom of the bottle though. It won't suck much fluid in. It's mostly to prevent air from getting into the system. The jar/bottle is used more for collecting the old fluid than anything.
@jughead63065 If you're installing new calipers though, sometimes the air can get trapped in the top of the caliper and that method doesn't work to get that air out. You have to have a good amount of pressure on the line to push it out. It's best to have a friend push while you work the valve if you're installing new calipers or have very large amounts of air in the line which may get trapped in the caliper, which is why I suggested that method.
@jughead63065 This is not a new idea though. It's amazing though that you can make a one man bleeder like you described (or like I described to you) for very little money, but if you buy one from Matco, I think they're about $65 (don't quote me on that price. Been a long time since I've bought tools from Snap-On or Matco)
Scott, You are an Angel! God Bless you. I know for sure that sharing your expertise to the general public has helped many. I've learned so much with you. The big guy upstairs is watching you and has a special place for you.
@tubejim101 either the master or the brake booster. See if it doesn't sink with the engine turned off and pressed, but does sink with the engine running. If so, that's the booster instead. Scotty
@memorexs ya can't adjust them in any modern car, they are electronic motors that the computer opens and closes to change idle speed. You can take em off and clean em with throttle spray cleaner though. Scotty
Hey scotty, I don't know if you've used these or not, but what do you think about using those vacuum systems to bleed air out of the breaks? I forget what they're called, but it attaches to the master cylinder and you pump it full of pressure, then you just release the air from each tire. I just wanted to get your opinion on using those things.
@lamiasubs that was a stupid video I got talked into by fox news and is on one of their dumb sites. But, they do not work, they are B.S. that video was edited by morons though and completely lost my main idea while they were pumping something else. ONLY watch my videos here on the Scottykilmer channel, I control all of them. Scotty
@mrbighappy17 generally, yes. But you have ABS brakes, PRAY it's not a problem in the modulator system as they can cost thousands. And you need a dealer level scan computer to analyze such systems. so if your brakes sink but you have the ABs light on, see a mechanic. Scotty
That is an awesome tip on getting the air out, Thanks Scotty! Never thought about that, but it makes perfect sense. The owner of that 4Runner needs some of those seat covers you advertised awhile back! :)
Scotty is this a better method of bleeding the air out rather than using the plastic tubbibg that often comes with the new master cylinder? I often use them and run then into the fluid in the master cylinder and pump till no more air comes out then connect the lines and top it off.
i noticed the other day driving our 98 S10 that the brakes make a squish sound when i press it the 2001 Impala does it too and so did the 90 Celebrity wagon when we had that is that just a GM thing as it only happens on GM cars my Daewoo never has done it and the Impala can only be heard with the radio is not on and the car is not running
@s10pickuup1 you would still have to do this process, just less times of pumping and bleeding air if you do. But it's also messy, spilling fluid everywhere when you put the cylinder on the car, so I don't do it. Scotty
@scottykilmer This one. just wondering why you didnt bleed the master cylinder first before you put it on. Or did the loose brake lines help to do that?
His method of bleeding is correct, I've seen EricTheCarGuy do this as well, although I would suggest bench bleeding the master cylinder first, it will make the bleeding once installed go much faster.
Scotty that big round black thing that the brake master is connected to is the brake booster right? What happens when it goes bad and how will one know when the problem is the brake booster and not the master?
If the booster stops functioning, the main effect in an otherwise functioning brake system is that the pedal feels as though it is siezed up and cannot be moved at all with normal foot pressures. If very heavy pressure is exerted, some small braking effect may be noticed.......very, very hard pedal is usually the result.
braking is still posible BUT it will be only as effective as using your handbrake.
What product should I use to prevent the rusting & jamming of my Camry 94 V6 parking brake that has the rear disk break version ? Do I need to disassemble the drum to access the parking brake cable to lube it ?
After I did the rear brakes on a 2001 Jetta, I had a soft pedal despite repeatedly bleeding the brakes and using the emergency brake and braking backwards. I started to think it was an MC. Then I realized that I hadn't filled the wheel cylinder (on one wheel) with enough brake fluid to make contact with the rotor. Evidently the automatic adjust design required such contact to adjust the spread of the wheel cylinder. I manually adjusted the spread of the wheel cylinder and the problem was solved.
@vietl30i you don't need to bleed the callipers if you got no air in the lines by bleeding it the way I did in the video. But fluid does eat paint. Scotty
This looks like a job for "The Pedal Pumper" its a 1 man brake bleeding tool that attaches one end to the brake pedal and the other end to the steering wheel and it actuates using your regular shop air as seen here on YT's realfixesrealfast - pedal pumper. Great tool to have if your doing a 1 man brake job.
I bought a rebuild master cylinder and it went bad in 1 week, Since then I never bought anything Rebuilt!

@Greenfire2200 I have used a mason jar full of brake fluid and attached a small piece of clear hose on the bleeder. Put the hose from the bleeder in the mason jar, loosen the bleeder, get in the car and pump the brakes several times. It will push the air out into the jar and suck fluid back in.

@jughead63065 I use a similar setup. I have a Gatorade bottle with some vaccuum hose on either end of some clear tubing. The vaccuum hose seems to fit the bleeder valve better than the tubing. Then I have a weight on the tube in the bottle to hold it inside. You don't have to have but about 1/2" of fluid in bottom of the bottle though. It won't suck much fluid in. It's mostly to prevent air from getting into the system. The jar/bottle is used more for collecting the old fluid than anything.
Greenfire2200 2 months ago
@jughead63065 If you're installing new calipers though, sometimes the air can get trapped in the top of the caliper and that method doesn't work to get that air out. You have to have a good amount of pressure on the line to push it out. It's best to have a friend push while you work the valve if you're installing new calipers or have very large amounts of air in the line which may get trapped in the caliper, which is why I suggested that method.

@jughead63065 This is not a new idea though. It's amazing though that you can make a one man bleeder like you described (or like I described to you) for very little money, but if you buy one from Matco, I think they're about $65 (don't quote me on that price. Been a long time since I've bought tools from Snap-On or Matco)

@tubejim101 either the master or the brake booster. See if it doesn't sink with the engine turned off and pressed, but does sink with the engine running. If so, that's the booster instead. Scotty

Hey scotty, I don't know if you've used these or not, but what do you think about using those vacuum systems to bleed air out of the breaks? I forget what they're called, but it attaches to the master cylinder and you pump it full of pressure, then you just release the air from each tire. I just wanted to get your opinion on using those things.

@mrbighappy17 generally, yes. But you have ABS brakes, PRAY it's not a problem in the modulator system as they can cost thousands. And you need a dealer level scan computer to analyze such systems. so if your brakes sink but you have the ABs light on, see a mechanic. Scotty

Scotty is this a better method of bleeding the air out rather than using the plastic tubbibg that often comes with the new master cylinder? I often use them and run then into the fluid in the master cylinder and pump till no more air comes out then connect the lines and top it off.

His method of bleeding is correct, I've seen EricTheCarGuy do this as well, although I would suggest bench bleeding the master cylinder first, it will make the bleeding once installed go much faster.

Scotty that big round black thing that the brake master is connected to is the brake booster right? What happens when it goes bad and how will one know when the problem is the brake booster and not the master?
moofushu 5 months ago 2
@moofushu
If the booster stops functioning, the main effect in an otherwise functioning brake system is that the pedal feels as though it is siezed up and cannot be moved at all with normal foot pressures. If very heavy pressure is exerted, some small braking effect may be noticed.......very, very hard pedal is usually the result.
braking is still posible BUT it will be only as effective as using your handbrake.

After I did the rear brakes on a 2001 Jetta, I had a soft pedal despite repeatedly bleeding the brakes and using the emergency brake and braking backwards. I started to think it was an MC. Then I realized that I hadn't filled the wheel cylinder (on one wheel) with enough brake fluid to make contact with the rotor. Evidently the automatic adjust design required such contact to adjust the spread of the wheel cylinder. I manually adjusted the spread of the wheel cylinder and the problem was solved.

This looks like a job for "The Pedal Pumper" its a 1 man brake bleeding tool that attaches one end to the brake pedal and the other end to the steering wheel and it actuates using your regular shop air as seen here on YT's realfixesrealfast - pedal pumper. Great tool to have if your doing a 1 man brake job.
