- If you need to bleed your break lines, it’s because one of two reasons. One, you got air into the system when flushing the brake fluid, or you’ve dismantled the system to clean your calipers or replace a line. In either case, bleeding your brake lines is for the purpose of removing air pockets out of the system.
In this video, we’ll show you how to bleed your brake lines using a hand vacuum pump.
- Wrench
- Vacuum pump and brake bleeding kit (www.motoplace.c...)
- Brake fluid
My Dad's tip was to smear a little grease around the base of the bleed nipple to prevent air getting in when you open it.
God damn it took like ten 10 minute videos to find a video that gets to the point and makes sense. Thank you.
Love how you mentioned to check for consistent pressure before you start. A failure by most people.
Great video. For the guy that doesn't have a mighty vac. I've been flushing dirt bike and street brakes 50 years with just a clear hose with a loop in it to see the bubbles. Connect it crack the bleeder. just keep the master cylinder full and pump slow. You don't even have to close the bleeder. 8mm wrench and a foot of hose
Reverse bleeding with a 50 ml syringe. Simple and works like a charm!
Just to be clear... The brake master does not need to be pumped right? The fluid will seep through the plunger in the brake master without any pumping?
This looks much better than what I experience with my (so-called) "one way" valve.
Simple, straight forward advice. Thanks.
Great video, very helpful info thanks for sharing. Please don’t use a crescent next time.
Bought the same device did what he said and honestly save your money all you need is a plastic bottle wrench and a tube also it still didn’t fix my clogged caliper
Sinthetic, to the point but complete. Excellent video, thanks
Simple,short, and easy to understand
crescent wrench, really?
Excellent Explanation good service
Hello! Can one use instead a small 12v vacuum pump typically used for oil changing?
Will this work on a completley dry stystem? Will the vacuum suck all the air before the fluid?
Nice 1, cobber - was looking for that in Hg value 👍🏻
Good one as always guys.
+JoeJoe Moto Thanks mate!
Always help to see your videos! Nice work bro (:
+Clayton Fernandes Cheers mate :)
While pumping the brake fluid, isn't it necessary to hold the brake pedal down to allow the fluid to flow through?
Which brake fluid is blue? Or did you dye it?
Thanks for a good video
this is an excellent video but i thought you're meant to bleed it bone dry so you don't mix new and old fluid?
what type of rear brake reservoir holder is that? I like the hook part as a safety device for the cap.
is there something similar for the front reservoir?
What adapter was it to attach to the bleeder valve? None of my fit
when I did this for my front brakes I got constant air bubbles. full tube of them. bled out entire reservoir 3 times and bubbles the entire time. probably a hole somewhere in the line right?
Jer Alan you might just get air from the connection between the hose and nipple. Tried securing it with something?
0:48 OMG u just killed me there ,how u know my Kawasaki bike
Crescent wrench??????Peace;-))
210 dollars for that kit...
Jezus christ.....some balls asking that for a simple handpump and a cheap plastic tubing and cannister.
Jason harbor freight 21 bucks👌🏻
I got air in my brake line and now my brake lever has no pressure and I'm at a loss
I did exactly what you said but my brake lever still has no resistance and it was working fine until I decided to bleed it...
no flluid is coming out of the bleeder nipple on the caliper
Why would you open the bleed valve before putting the hose on and get brake fluid everywhere? Ah cause you got a stupid adapter, I see.
