Sorry for noob questions, but what do you mean by "it floats back up through the master cylinder" ? Do you mean that the air finds its way through the master cylinder, up to the reservoir, and then to the atmosphere ?
That’s the I don’t know answer it just works at😂😂. Sorry, I seen this message early in the morning maybe my brains not working
All right, my brain just clicked on. I can answer that .
I don’t remember when I said that, but I do remember saying that because I didn’t have time to think about where the air goes
I thought I explain this in the video but maybe I didn’t do a very good job when the lines are open and you push down on the brake pedal. It pushes the air out from the open lines then before the brake pedal is released, you close the lines the plunger inside the master cylinder, draws the fluid back up into the master cylinder there should not be air, but if there is air, it will travel back through the fluid because there’s no gap between the fluid in that air Hass to go somewhere but I don’t believe that there’s actually air in there any longer because it pushes fluid and the air through the tips of the open brake lines.
Dig the message. "If anyone else can do it you can too." Great video. 👍
Great video!! Helped me out a lot! Saved me from a bench bleed and no xtra tools woohoo ur the best!! Enjoy ur content u bring some fun to working on cars!!
Dude thanks Ralph I greatly appreciate that I love that video in particular even though I probably made it a little bit too long adding in my little shorts I thought it was a very funny video but extremely informational as well so I’m very pleased to hear somebody actually likes it thank you very much welcome to the channel we’re very happy to have folks like you here!!
Clay, I love the humor!! Kudos!

Great video Clay. I will give your procedure a try since I have to replace my master cylinder.
Excellent video refresher , thanks for the short but sweet cuts, a friend got air and possible soft line going bad...🤔🙂🥺✌️👍
Video very helpful great job 👏 👍
Thanks Edward greatly appreciate the kind words welcome to the channel happy to have folks like you hear
This was the most helpful even on a 06 Pathfinder.. thanks bro I'm from Bronson MI
Another Michigander! No problem! Glad you got some good info out of it!
Excellent video.
Love the lighter😂
Damn, that's genius!! 👍 Your method also bypasses the need to do an auto bleed of the ABS system. Most DIY'ers can't afford the type of scan tool that has that capability..
That’s a very valid point I didn’t even think of that. 🤔 If I had I would’ve mentioned it in the video . I was just trying to demonstrate something that I learned about 20 years ago….
And I’ve got a super stupid super sweet video coming up here in the next couple of weeks where I get electrocuted by a car battery…… I know you already know it’s gonna be fun and games 😂😂😂 i’m super excited about it I can’t wait for everybody to see this it’s hilarious.
@@sharpcarco I gotta say it: AAAAAAAND THEN?? 🤣🤣🤣
I have to try the screwdriver tip, hope it works with recliners too.
Thanks for the video, Going to be trying this on my Vandura wish me luck 🤞
If you follow the instructions as annoying as they may be you will be successful!!
Love the old VANDURA!!!
Nice video no bs or annoying music now a sub
Thank you
What are you trying to say Brian? I didn’t add enough BS in there….. I was certain I did happy to have you, nevertheless but generally I put a lot of BS in my videos unnecessary jokes. I guess that’s what I’m talking about.
@@sharpcarco I appreciate the jokes.
It all makes for a good video.
Clay, that last comment bleed with filler cap off, that gravity bleed? Thanks
Wish u were closer I’m in Pontiac and just replaced the calipers and rotors and the master cylinder and still have no breaks forward or back made sure all the air was out u have any advice I work on semis but this has got me stumped it’s a 2010 dodge avenger rt
Can you please give me information on putting a power brake booster and new master cylinder on a 1974 Plymouth Duster that has a manual brake system? Any information or videos will help. Thank you, George
Thanks for this video… I’m a fellow Michigander and I always try to do things myself because taking it in brings more problems for me… by that I mean shops telling me I need $1300 worth or work when that’s not the case!
I'm in michigan too and you not lying about that

@@moemoe48210 definitely southeast
you mean like $120 to replace all the Nitrogen in your tires?? Or, Your engine coolant should be red, it's turned green from contaminants, we need to flush it and replace the Radiator, overflow tank, and new hoses, because you never know how it happened, all for the low, low price of $700 + tax.?? Or my Favorite. Bring you an oil filter from an old, destroyed engine and the burnt oil out of a rear end and show it to the poor, unsuspecting person and tell em they need a new engine for $5 Grand??
@@JamesMiller-fm8qs it’s so weird you bring up the $120 nitrogen in the tires… never heard of it until a coworker was shopping for a car… his wife called him and told him the dealership added that to their total and the wife said hell no! I swear when my dad used to tell me you gotta switch the summer air out I thought he was kidding….
And that’s a damn shame about the engine but I believe it. They got me for my cat twice and I now do all my own work in my driveway no matter how many times I have to put it back together and pull it back apart. Took me 2 weeks to get my rear hub off but I was not taking it in
Help! I have a 2001 toyota 4runner and need info on bleeding brakes as the master cylinder and brakes were an issue on the 2001 2002. Seems like it was to be brought back to the dealership with them having the SST to bleed brakes. 3k is what they want to do the work
Just got my heater core changed and now it feels like lots of air in the line!
Don’t put vice on bore put it on flange. bore can distort and ruin a new master. 7:28
Totally not what I’ve been taught but hey I’ll try it if my helper doesn’t make a mistake 🤞
👍🤞😂
Use a 2x4 or a pice of pvc pipe for a helper
Dealing with a issue now. We started with a sudden drop in the pedal to the floor. I checked brake fluid and it was pretty good but I added more to top it off. Checked it a few days later and still in same spot, so figure no leaks. Given that we just had new front brake lines/calipers/rotors/pads put in like 4 or so months ago, knew those should be good. I assumed bad master cylinder. Replaced that today, but no bleed kit came with it and the one I bought at the store did not have the right size, so I winged it since our car was a bit sketchy to drive again while having this issue. I installed master cylinder, used finger pressure to work out initial flow of fluid from it. Then I put lines on, had gf put pedal down after I opened the lines, but I had her push it until it stopped moving then locked them down and released pedal. We did this a few times, sometimes doing both lines at once and sometimes doing 1 line at a time. We still have a pedal that goes all the way to the floor. I guess our next step is to bleed the calipers, but without a jack currently (mine took a shit), I crawled under the back to do the back drum rotors but did not seed a bleeder back there. Any thoughts?
Not any that you haven’t already thought of you still want to check out the things that I talk about in my spongy brake video it will show you exactly what the problem is when you go through the steps
However, you already know in the situation what you need to do you need a jack and you need to remove the wheels and you need to do it correctly . My assumption is one of your calipers or your brake line is bad I know that they say they replaced” them, but that doesn’t mean things don’t go bad, especially nowadays when they’re made made by Asians under the age of 12
@@sharpcarco ya I gotta figure out my jack situation for sure. Tomorrow I am gonna do a full bleed of calipers and see if that helps.
hey man i have a quick question what are the brake line block offs ? right before you had your assistant press the break half way and hold it it, and before you started to screw in the brake lines you said to unscrew the line block offs. are they basically just to stop the flow of the brake fluid or what are they and where are they?
Yes
clay ur the shit!!
🤔. Well, tell me more….. 😂😂
Jesús!!! He talkssss.
I left a comment on a older utube video of yours bleeding a master cylinder on the vehicle.
04 Accord V6 3.0 RR caliper failure
With total brake fluid lost. (Not me my kid did it)
It now has all new brake rotors and 2 new calipers on rear. I'm now stuck.
I know there is air in lines. Because of the fluid loss . Starting at master cylinder
Can I use the master cylinder bleed tip you used in the video. Then bleed at all the calipers.
Well I can’t say for certain Emily but I would have to guess that it’s a possibility that you now need to bleed the whole system and it’s also possible that you will need a scanner to be able to get the air out of the inside of the ABS system I haven’t worked on that particular system personally that I can remember anyways so sorry I can’t be of much help in the situation
I am fighting just to access a brake line on a 2005 dakota, it's soo close to the fuse box and wiring harness connectors. If i can get it off, and get a new line, should I maybe try to fill the line as much as possible before reattaching it to the master cylinder ?.
I would recommend in that situation you will have to bleed them properly. And before you go to the parts store make sure you loosen up the bleeders then that way if 1 breaks you can handle it you don’t have to go back again
If possible send me a link on a 2004 Toyota tundra v8
Brake master cylinder
Sorry Mike I’d love to do that for you, but I don’t have one. I would imagine, though that isn’t much different than the one I had in this video.. I can almost guarantee it
Clay way all day!!!!!
Hey clay good video. I’m in process of diagnosing brake system in 2010 escape. Every once in awhile while driving I’ll press brake and it goes to floor. I have no leaks. Would this be the master cylinder or brake booster. Anyway to know for sure
Believe Clay is speaking to the audience who knows all their brake components to start with. If you don’t know them all then it’s hard to diagnose. But a master cylinder does not have to leak for it go bad. Also brake booster can be function checked. Google them.
Try pulling out the fuse for the ABS and drive it for a while see if that ever does it again if it doesn’t do it again you need to replace the ABS controller I hope that helps

Brilliant!
These videos are normally very dry. Maybe it's just the sexy assistant.
I must’ve put my wife in this video… lol thank you for the kind words. I hope you enjoyed it.
@@sharpcarco nailed it 🤜🤛 around 2:03. She is a babe for sure.
So does that mean "whatever's on hand" is available?
Would I just need to open up one of the valves, or both valves, before I push down the plunger? Thanks.
I think he said one at a time (on the bench bleed portion of the video).
I love 😂 the lighter joke 😅just in case you have to set it on fire 🔥
Hi sir I cant seem to remove the 2 nuts that attaches the master cylinder to brake booster as they spin thanks
I can’t say for certain, but I’m fairly certain that that engine runs in the opposite direction as well that’s really the only reason that they would do that but whatever
Going on a tangent here...Yes, you can flip a wrench over to get a better angle. Why are most serpentine belt tool crows feet angled at 90 degrees?
Nicee! Im actually exited to do this myself! While bleeding why the brake pedal cant go all the way down?
It is supposed to go all the way down but what you don’t want to do is come up at all while the lines are open…..
@@sharpcarco ah ok got you, it is actually a good technique, and its great that if I remove the battery snd the air box I have a lot of space to work with. Many thanks
@@sharpcarco if the master cylinder is bad should the pedal be spongy or sink even if the engine is off? Or it depends on whete the onternal leak is? In my case, engine off, I pump it 3 or 4 times and it gets hard.
If it’s a Master cylinder replace should not be able to pump up the brakes to make it harder….. if you don’t have any fluid leaking somewhere else regardless of if the motor is running or shut off better to test brakes when the motor is off because they’re not vacuum assisted at that point.
You never bleed brakes when the engine is running.
@@sharpcarco does it mean if im able to pump the brakes and it gets hard the master cylinder is good?
At the very end you said something that sounded like the master cylindenr can be bled by simply unplugging the lines, letting it drip out and top it off manually. Did I catch that right?
You did hear that correctly it’s just like leaving any system open you know kind of like if you left the bleeder screw loose overnight it would drain the air out of the line same principle
@@sharpcarco This is amazing news. How long would this take... I believe i have air in my master cylinder but didn't want to go through the whole process of removal and bench bleeding. Also could I bleed even faster if I used your method of unscrewing the nuts, depressing the pedal, tightening the nut then release the brakes? Also wanted to mention the car is a Benz e class it has abs… is that something that should be only dealt with at the professional shop? I heard a big scanner is needed for these cars when doing brake jobs.
I have a 2012 Ford Escape XLT awd 3.0l with a far traveling pedal. No leaks that ive found fluid stays on max. I dont know where to start to diagnose this issue. Ive heard bleed the brakes add new fluid, check booster pin adjustment, adjust the rear drum brakes HELP!

Thank you my friend new subscriber here
Do you cut the car on or you can leave the car out
Leave it off
How'd you know when abs box is bad and not master cylinder
❤
How long should take to replace a brake booster?
Pretty easy job you just remove the two bolts securing down the master cylinder and then there’s four bolts holding down the brake booster and it’s connected to the brake pedal..
I’m assuming since you’re asking and you probably don’t know much about this process but I can explain do you there are only two reasons you would ever need to change your brake booster that I can think of off the top of my head
It makes a swishing noise when you push it
Or with the vacuum hooked up correctly the pedal is very hard to push
There are no reasons to change a brake booster other than that . Just in case you didn’t know.
20 minutes
I just did it 2 hours ago on my 2013 Kia Rio
Does this bleed the master cylinder too can you
Yes
Could you just drive to your mechanic like 3 miles away and let them bleed the breaks right after installing and topping off the master cylinder with break fluid?
Whats the torque figure?
"PFT" (pretty f cking tight). lol.
A question: what happens to the air, which initially is contained between the brake lines and the master cylinder? I understand that your trick sucks it back into the master cylinder. And the what? Doesn't the master cylinder need to be bled again to remove this air?
It floats back up through the master cylinder, or is released when you re-open line
Sorry for noob questions, but what do you mean by "it floats back up through the master cylinder" ? Do you mean that the air finds its way through the master cylinder, up to the reservoir, and then to the atmosphere ?
If the master cylinder sucks air out of the lines. Then my confusion is. Does it bubble out of master cylinder? Or air only exits when lines are cracked while pedal is depressed all the way down? That point is my confusion. Please help
Little help on this dumb question lol
Exits out the lines. You are bleeding the air out of the master cylinder and when you have the Lions closed you were sucking the air from the lines
Not a dumb question.
Ok I realize I'm a dumb ass and I'm far from a mechanic. But I bought this lil GMC Sonoma and it had a broke driver side brake line. Needed to get it home so I pinched the brake line off. Me being a procrastinator, I still haven't replaced the line a week later. Now suddenly my clutch is completely gone and brake fluid extremely low. If I fix the brake line , could that fix my clutch possibly bc master cylinder may not have fluid? Again, if this is completely wrong, I'm not even remotely a mechanic.
I’m not sure generally they’re two separate systems, but it may be possible that there integrated I’m not certain no sorry
Bigger dumbass here. I have a GMC also, and I'm pretty sure my power steering is plugged into the brakes???
I may just drive it into the Atlantic, then I'll have zero repairs.
The one “silver lining” of having to bleed the system is that you get new brake fluid throughout
OK.. do you know hydraulic fluid doesn’t go bad.. it doesn’t disappear… it doesn’t compress, but I mean whatever makes you folks feel good it’s all good with me I don’t care. I’m just saying my 30 years of experience it’s unnecessary and a waste of time but if you want to do it because it makes you feel good go right ahead be my guest.
@@sharpcarco the one thing about DOT3, it’s hygroscopic. It absorbs water. It does have a limited capacity to do so, so if you add water to it, you’re out of luck, lol. Still, the fluid does get dirty and contaminated and starts to absorb water from the air, road, etc as the brake pistons move. That contamination can lead to seals breaking down sooner, I think. To each their own, though! If the brakes work, the brakes work.
Are you installing a used MC?
I’ve done it both ways. I don’t remember what I was using in that video but it works each way doesn’t matter.
@@sharpcarco It looked kinda dirty, so I thought it might be used. Any issues with used MC's?
No that wasn’t a problem with this particular vehicle. It was the ABS module itself in a later video I show you how to change it at this time. I thought it was a possibility that the master cylinder was bad, but I was incorrect. Still a great video, though, because I was able to demonstrate a process that I’ve used for a couple decades, to bleed it out different master cylinders.
And yes, I still on this vehicle drive it daily with a used master cylinder
You should ALWAYS bleed the system...period. There are no extra points for cutting corners.
Then do it…
@@sharpcarco Always do, but that's just because I'm not a backyard mechanic who will get someone killed because of my half assed work.
@antagonizerr could you just drive to your mechanic like 3 miles away and let them bleed the breaks right after installing and topping off the master cylinder with break fluid?
@@youknowkbbabyYou don't need to. Just get a friend to pump the brakes while you work the valve on the caliper. Takes 2 minutes.
@@antagonizerr thank you
I couldn’t do it I really messed things up now I have no brakes at all lol
Germany is laughing (:-)
Well that's not gonna help me any, because I don't have an assistant to push the pedal or a vice to bench-bleed the new master
Well, you may not have an assistant, so you ain’t gonna get any further than that but as far as bench bleeding goes using this procedure, you don’t have to do it on the bench .
You must have bloody good eyesight to be able to see through them glasses.
That's a Line Wrench; not a Box Wrench.
Hey Joe does it all the time….. So that give me a pass …
The clay way. More like the gay way. 😂😂 Just kidding. Couldn't resist
I don’t think you could make this sound any more complicated than you did. Have you purchased a new master cylinder lately? Why in the bloody world would you not bench bleed it and avoid all this drama?
Even if you bench bled the master cylinder you would have to bleed the whole system…… that’s why did you pay attention to the video? That was the whole point…… why don’t you shut your pot licker and just go do whatever the hell it is that you do
I just couldn't sit through all the bullshit. Just tell me what I need to know about bleeding the master.
That’s good you can go watch somebody else’s video… it’s called TheClayWay, not the Ralph Way.. I always love it when big ass babies whine about free videos…
