Are any of you guys able to bleed your brakes while leaving the wheels on and car on the floor?

I never tried but it seems like it would take more time than with taking the wheels off. You can turn the wheel as far to one side as possible but then you need to get your arms in there and then you still can't see anything.

I've done it. In the end, it's easier to take the extra time to jack it up and do it properly.

How often are you suppose to bleed your brakes? How do you know if they need bleeding?

i like this. how did you turn the wheels to the side? or is it that you have enough space to work without turn the wheels.
