Brake bleed and fluid replacement

in this video we are bleeding the brakes of our ford ka mk1 2002. the brakes have felt very spongy and havnt been working efficiently. if you have any questions feel free to comment below. all equipment and fluid was purchased from halfords website.

Just came across this the reason you change the fluid its hygroscopic it soaks up moisture, to much moisture means the fluid can work as intended.
when bleeding the brakes you start at the rear furthest from master cylinder, then the other rear, front furthest again then final one.
Ie your master cylinder is on the right hand side so its rear left, rear right, front left, front right.
Use a turkey baster to empty the old stuff out but leave some in never have the bottle empty.

Why did you start on the front I thought you start on the back to bleed them is the abs thing o boo at the back??

[@DarkHelmetgaming]

You do start from the rear, furthest from master cylinder then opposite rear, front furthest from master cylinder then remaining one

[@piovo5222]

does the car have to be on?

[@BrakesWheelsAutomobiles]

Yes mate it does

[@MarcusBunting-rj6le]

That’s incorrect, bleeding the care whilst running can cause damage to the abs..
