I am going to replace my rotor and pad tommorow, at the meantime I going to replace brake fluid as well.

So:
1) It is 1 bottle 12oz fluid enough?
2) What is the easy way, disconnect the brake hose or pump it out through the bleeder? (I had vacum pump)
3) If bleed is more easy, It is has to be according to FSM like rear right first, so on and on?

Thanks for the help, appreciate.

 

no one???????

 

when i did my brakes i replaced my calipers along with the pads and rotors, i didnt really have any intentions of replacing it, but i just let most of it probably around 90% of it leak out of my disconnected brake line, i let it sit for awhile like that, but if time isnt on your side you can always just pump it out. its a good idea to change the brake fluid if its been awhile, brake fluid breaks down after awhile just like everything else and thats how you get rust in the system.

 

just remove the bleeder and press the brake.. the fuid will come out like crazy..... replace it with a good one and bleed the brakes .. you are done..... if you have the pump... more power to you.

 

First, you can't bleed your brakes with the brake hose disconnected. That being said, maybe you should take you car to the shop and have them bleed it for you since it looks like you don't know what you are doing.

However, if you wish to undertake this task yourself, forget the vaccume pump. Go down to the auto parts store and get yourself some speedy bleeders.

The Steps:

Replace your bleeder screws with the speedy bleeders.
Atttach a clear hose with a receptical at the end and turn the bleeder screw open 1/2 turn.
Starting at the right rear wheel, start pumping the brake pedal until there is no air in the clear tube. Close the bleeder valve.
Move on the the left rear, then right front, then left front.
Make sure during this time that the reservior does no trun bleow the fill line.

FYI - Speedy bleeders do not allow air to enter the system, unlike the bleeder screws that came with your car.

 

I use the mad wife system for bleeding my brakes. It works ok but does make a lot of noise.

 

what is that?

 

Bleeding brakes is a simple job but needing assistance.

1) First take a syringe and replace the fluid in the master cyclinder and fill with fresh brake fluid.
2) Starting with the tire farthest from the master cylinder do the bleeding.
3) Have someone pump the brakes till it is nice and hard for the person in the car.
4) Once pumped up, have the person in the car hold a firm foot on the brake pedal, and the person near the bleeder screw, turns the bleeder screw 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn and the brake fluid from the lines comes out. Have the person in the car keep a firm foot on the brake pedal becoz once you turn the bleeder screw the brake pedal falls like a thud to the bottom. This is very important that the foot goes down only till it hits the bottom and not remove the foot from the pedal (this will have air sucked in from the bleeder screw back into the brake system) and it is held there till your turn back the bleeder screw. Once the bleeder is tightened, the person in the car can take the foot of the brake pedal.
5) Pump the brakes again and get back the pressure, then do step 4, 3 to 4 times till all the fluid from the lines comes out keeping an eye on the master cylinder, it should not go empty.
6) Fill up the master cylinder to the top, do the above steps for all the brakes. The order I like is facing the front of the car, LR, RR, LF and RF.
7) Remember be careful with the brake fluid eats paint trim. Atttach a clear hose with a receptical at the end of the bleeder screw.

Hope this helps.

 

nicely written love

 

That's the way. The first sentence should have read: Bleeding brakes is a simple job but here is the hard way. Sorry, but there are much easier and faster ways to bleed brakes.

 

This method of bleeding is known to many and many do it this way. Doing it your way will surely feed air into the brakes, you dump guy, if you cannot contribute towards the thread in a +ve way then back off and stay away keeping your critisims in your closet.

How old are you dude, looks like u haven't grown up!!!

 

true. theres a lot of criticism over personal preference lately

 

Wow, Insult me? I never insulted you. Well, game on! You're about to get owned.

It's dumb, not dump, Einstein. If you are going to insult me at least have the intelligence to do so correctly. It's ironic how you call me dumb and actually mispell the word. It's not even a typo because the leter "P" is so far away from the letter "B" on the keyboard. My apologies if English is not your first language. If it is, you're an IDIOT.

I have contributed to this thread in the most valuable way, by giving the easiest way for one to bleed their brakes. So, until you actually know what you are talking about stay away from giving any advice.

Back to the subject at hand. While I agree that your method of bleeding brakes is known to many and that many do it this way, it is the hardest way for one to bleed their brakes. I own a vacuum pump for bleeding brakes and have done it this way also. The pump is not that bad but nowhere as easy as bleeding your brakes with the SPEEDY BLEEDERS. These are bleeder valves that don't allow air to enter only exit. Therefore, you can open them up without the worry that you will introduce air into the system.

One more time for the record:

1. Replace your bleeders with 4 SB's
2. Starting at the right rear wheel, attach a clear hose to the bleeder and open the bleeder screw 1/2 turn. Air will not enter the system, it will only exit.
3. Fill the reservior and pump the brakes about 5 to 7 times. Go back and top off the reservior and look at the tube.
4. Continue with step 3 until there is no air in the clear tube.
5. Shut the bleeder screw.
6. You're done with that caliper, move to the rear left then front right...

THIS IS BY FAR THE EASIEST WAY TO BLEED BRAKES, BAR NONE! I can bleed a set of brakes (wheels already off the car) in about 8 minutes, ALONE!

p.m. me for any assistance in bleeding brakes. I'll walk you through it.
