How To Bleed Your Brakes or Flush Your Brake Fluid

How To Bleed Your Vehicle's Brakes. How To Flush Your Car's Brake Fluid.

Bleeding your brakes will help keep your brakes firm, maintaining hydraulic pressure efficiency. As time passes, brake fluid takes on foreign materials/water, resulting in compressible air bubbles getting into the lines. Since brake fluid (hydraulic fluid) should be incompressible, the efficiency of your brakes may be compromised. You may also want to suck out some of the gunk from the bottom of the master cylinder. Watch the min level, or you may have to start from the beginning again. Teflon tape over the threads will help eliminate air bubbles coming into the tube as you vacuum.

Bleed your brakes about every 45,000 miles / 72,000 km / 3 years, or if you change your brake calipers. Check your vehicle's service manual for specifics.

I got my brake bleeder kit at Amazon:

Which Nintendo game does this music come off of?

[laughster]

@johnheather1 It's from a guy named Lain Trzaska (aka she). Check out the site in the video description ... but, nintendo game music is great!

[mandobizar]

Is the master cylinder cap on or off during the the whole bleeding process except when adding fluid

[laughster]

@mandobizar keep the cap off during the bleeding, it'll help suck the fluid out

[ElijahWallen]

Music sounds like the power rangers went to hell.

@psiewert83 its called the mute button dumbass. hes not talking in the vid.

[psiewert83]

Why the fuck do i have to listen to techno in order to learn how to bleed my brakes.

[Munky332]

music is awesome. dunno what these people are talkin bout. second, you can make a ghettofabulous "vacuum" bleeder using house-hold items. google it. a shop-vac (or any vacuum) plus a glass jar, some tubing and duct tape works just as well as one of those high dollar machines. or as already stated gravity bleed. i do a vacuum bleed to pull new fluid into the lines then gravity bleed over night. most systems can interchange between dot 3/4/5.1 (NOT dot 5) higher quality fluid is always better.

[deebin4]

this music is sheer torture.

@johnheather1 This is better than nintendo music even.

[seniorjohnl]

@leecfc1888 It doesn't absorb air so much as it absorbs the water present in the air(humidity).

[Fox1991]

So the video got 55 dislikes just for the music right? Cause everything you're doing seems correct.
