Do you find brake bleeding a tedious task? The Toledo Brake Bleeder and Fluid extractor makes it a pain-free, one person job.
The Toledo design relies on compressed air to make fluid extraction easy - and super quick. With a 1.6 litre per minute extraction rate, and a 1L fluid reservoir - the job will be done before you know it.
In the kit is a flexible, and a firm suction hose. A rubber hose adaptor, bleed nipple adaptor; and two hanging hooks. Connection to an air compressor is achieved by means of a quarter inch thread in the bottom of the gun. Just install your choice of air fitting, set the compressor anywhere between 90 and 170 PSI - and you’re ready to go.
If you are replacing the fluid entirely, you might like to begin by sucking the old fluid from the reservoir. Remove the bleed nipple adaptor for this, and use the suction hose to quickly draw the old fluid out. Replace it with some new fluid; and leave the cap off for now.
Always begin bleeding brakes at the wheel furthest from the master cylinder. Using the rubber bleed nipple adaptor; connect the brake bleeder to the bleed nipple. Now loosen the bleed nipple a few turns; and squeeze the trigger on your Toledo Brake Bleeder.
Watch the fluid that flows down the tube; and pause occasionally to check and top up the reservoir if necessary. Should the fluid drop too low; air will enter the system - and you’ll need to start again. Once you’re confident you have pulled the new fluid through; you can tighten off the bleed nipple, remove the brake bleeder, and proceed to the next wheel.
Repeat this process for each corner of the vehicle, and be sure to keep that fluid level topped up as you go. Once the final brake caliper has been bled; top up the reservoir one final time - and replace the cap. Oh, and always test the brakes with the vehicle running, and stationery - to ensure everything is safe.
Whether you’re bleeding brakes every other day at work, or just want to make life easier in the home workshop - the Toledo Brake Bleeder and Fluid Extractor makes it easy.

Great video , short and to the point , no waffling !
The "BGS" brand is exactly the same, but comes with an automatic brake fluid replenisher bottle, which has much less risk of running dry the reservoir and have to start again all the process...
Just make sure you close the valve for the caliper before you turn the vacuum off
What happens when you don’t?
@@joshuau4575 air gets back in
@@joshuau4575air will get into the system through the bleed nipple
@@joshuau4575 good chance air backflow into the system.
don't you need someone else to push the pedal ?
thanks my contractor has used many of these before, but the one we purchased for this particular job is heavy duty, no regulators, thus, its a little confusing to work with. there are multiple 1/4 valves. it seems to be working properly, i just needed some
reassurance
Every vehicle has their own specification of which caliper should be bleed first to last. This video stated the general rule of starting to bleed furthest from the master cylinder but in vehicles like Honda they start at the the closest.
Including a Civic 2009 Civic Type R specifically?
I have tried a few of these and had zero success
Will this bleed the ABS System Module when replacing the master Cyl on a 98 Monte Carlo?
Yes. It will also extract a sperm sample if you put the hose on your bell end too.
No.
So... There's no need to pump the brakes?
Exactly
Is it possible to do all four brakes at one time, as long as the reservoir is being topped off?
Yes.
@@mikedelta1679 Awesome thanks

The german "BGS" brand is exactly the same vacuum pump, but their kit comes more complete, as it has a replenisher bottle that automatically refills the brake master cylinder reservoir, preventing it from runnig dry, and risking air to get into the system, necessitating one to repeat the entire process.
@@alfredomarquez9777 do you have a link please? I need to replace the fluid on a ABS system car.
can i use this for clutch fluid bleeding too?
Yes
Can it be used without a proper air compressor ? I dont know, a bicycle hand air pump ?
No. You can buy different hand operated bleeding pumps if need be.
but what if air is trapped in the ABS module?
Unless you clamp the brake hose
and then push the piston back
before you bleed a calliper
you will have old fluid left
in your callipers.
Note 1, don't tighten the clamp tightly.
thats the purpose for extraction. since the piston is not compressed during a fluid exchange, contaminated fluid is never pushed into the lines to the master. dirty fluid stays in the caliper and thus, is the first to be extracted using the pneumatic vacuum method.
@@cecogeko19 If you do not clamp the brake line and then push the caliper piston back the old and dirty fluid stays in the slave cylinder Franky.
If you don't push the dirty fluid out with the piston, the dirty fluid stays there because the new clean fluid simply comes in one hole in the piston and goes out the nearby hole to the brake nipple.
Similar happens if you don't pump the dirty fluid out of the master cylinder.
@@mikedelta1679 the same thing happens during engine or gearbox oil change, you will never get all out which is completely fine. But you will get all brake fluid out if you for example are going to rebuild you calliper when all the fluid is then drained out of it. So it seams to be a handy tool.
You seem to accept defeat real easy Bed

Does it need air compressor ?
Yea
YES... it needs at least a compressor capable of reaching 100 PSIG, and more importantly, having at least 5 CFM of air flow.
So don't you need someone else to push the pedal ?
do i need a air compressor for it
no, but it helps.
Yes
yes you do, for the user emroy129 i guess he is sucking it with his mouth

This is actually wrong. They are working on a Patrol, you start at the brake proportioning valve above the rear diff.
thats intents.........
Like camping?

Team effort, Alex behind the camera 😉
To
Overkill. All you need is someone to pump the brake pedal.
And how do you do that when you’re working on your own mr smarty pants?
@@Robdutton91 You pump the brake pedal yourself duh.
@@JazzFunkNobby1964 and how you gonna tighten the nipple while doing that?
@@EnnTomi1 You can buy a one way valve that attaches to your bleed tube. Place the tube and valve in a bottle to catch the purged fluid.
Pump the pedal until fresh fluid comes out the bleed nipple and then tighten the bleed nipple. The one way valve prevents any air going back into the brake line.
So easy to do.
Does it need an air compressor?
Yes.
YES... it needs at least a compressor capable of reaching 100 PSIG, and more importantly, having at least 5 CFM of air flow.
