I think you have restricted brake hoses! Because they are not breathing right! They get super thick inside! That’s why you needed to bleed from top!
If you're like me and have to do brakes by yourself-every-single-time there is a one man bleeder kit you can get at any parts store. They're usually $8. Just a nipple to insert into the bleeder, a hose that connects it to a small bottle. Plug in, crack bleeder, pump pedal, check hose to bottle, if the hose has no air bubbles then close the bleeder and move to next wheel is correct order from the master cylinder. 👍I saw a car video I had to stop by to watch and leave a like!
What’s up Joshua, thanks for sharing this. Those kits are awesome, definitely come in handy when bleeding by yourself.
We appreciate you sharing this, any & all helpful info is greatly appreciated. Enjoy your weekend.
😎👍
I hate those kits: bottle is too small, and the plastic doodad is near worthless: just use clear hose stabbed over bleeder. The trick is... route hose/hang above bleeder and length needs to be roughly equal [no siphoning]. Any catch can can work - I use a crappy old plastic bowl. Smooth & slow on/off the pedal and because tube is above bleeder, air naturally rises to escape and there's a column of fluid if there's any drawback into the system.
I wasted my whole Saturday trying to bleed my rear brake of my motorcycle. I even got master and slave cylinder rebuild kits and a vacuum bleeder kit because I couldnt get it to bleed. I watched the video when it got dark and tried it on my bike and it worked instantly. Thank you so much for posting this video. I just wished I saw it sooner so I didnt waste half my weekend
Good morning ☕️ you are very welcome. Hey, we have definitely had those experiences…a project lasting way longer than it needed too.
You’re not alone on that, we have had our fair share of 1 hour projects turning into an all day annoying event. 😁👍
Most important thing is you stuck with it and conquered your DIY project, awesome job! 🧰
Thanks kiddo, had same problem-on hummer h3 thank you for your advice.
Good morning, just poured a cup of coffee and am sitting down to answer any and all questions for the DIY community.
We appreciate you taking the time to share this, reach out to us any time.
😎👍
Perfect explanation of procedure, you would think the air is released when they're bled. Looks like an airlock situation in the abs system. Had same problem with my camry but was only 1 rear brake. I use a 2x4 to put against seat and brake pedal to keep pressure while bleeding , thankyou for the know how to video
Thanks for watching, an interesting situation indeed. Thanks for taking the time out of your Saturday morning to share this.

I am confused. It looked like you loosened one of the two ports connected to the master cylinder, for the drivers side caliper. However when you did the passenger side caliper you loosened a nut on the actual and where the brake lines are connected to?
I’ve watched this video a few times and I keep seeing the same thing. Can you explain what I’m missing
Thank you! Big help.
We are happy to hear this, thanks for sharing this info. Many more helpful videos to come! 👍🧰
Thank you, that might help me a lot
We are happy to help, and thanks for taking the time out of your Sunday morning to reach out to us.

Have to try this pal if it work you the son of Einstein
Thanks for watching, worth a try. Looking forward to hearing back from you.
Man I hope this fix the problem
Did it work? I’ve been having a nightmare of a problem with my car I’ve messed with it for too long
Having a 100% the same issue
so what caused the pressure holding back the brake fluid scene you had to loosen the line on top
Thanks for watching, the only thing we could really think that would be respectively related is a stuck inner cylinder inside master brake cylinder.
If the inner cylinder gets stuck in the closed position, brake fluid will never flow. How is your project going?

This car didn’t have an ABS module connection to that driver front caliper? It just went straight from master to caliper on that one?
Thanks for watching, it does. Unique behavior from this little system but we figured it out. Let us know if you have any questions.
😎👍
I noticed too.
Not sure if you’ll see this but currently going through this issue somewhat similar. Changed front calipers along with the brakes and rotors only the fronts. Bled the system over 3 times nothing working pedal still squishy. Have used vacuum bleeders and have used assisted help in the driver seat pressing the brake. Don’t know what’s going on no bubbles are coming out just clear brake fluid like it should be. Wondering if it could be my master cylinder needing a bleed or replacement or possibly even to bled the abs with a scan tool. Any help would be awesome

Good morning ☕️ thank you for writing us, any update. We hope to help.
The Master Cylinder may be the cause however unlikely. It may be that your Master Cylinder inner piston is just stuck and not allowing you to properly bleed system.
We are going to share a few additional helpful video links below that include common causes as well as a video showing a closeup of the Master Cylinder inner piston.

It may be that you just need to slightly loosen one of the fittings on the Master Cylinder until you see a tiny bit of brake fluid to seep out. Once this happens, it’s likely that the inner piston will break free and begin operating as designed again. Keep us posted.
Do you leave those nuts that you loosed from the master cylinder loose ? Once I tighten mine up I get no fluid to my passenger side
Thanks for watching, great question. We tightened nuts after bleeding brakes. Is your bleeder port on top of caliper? If not, it’s likely the shop sold you the wrong side caliper for your left hub.

So what do you think happened when you loosened the connections? A vapor lock issue, maybe? Or just air in the system? I have an issue with the driver rear and passenger front not bleeding on a 1998 4runner. Will try this in the morning. Beats a trip to a mechanic any day.
Worked like a charm. Instant fluid. And best of all. The brakes work again. Thank You so much. Just saved me about a grand.
Thanks for watching, it’s likely that the inner piston of the master cylinder got stuck.
When that happens, that’s usually an indication that it’s in its early stages of failure.

AWESOME!!!! 😁👍
Saving a grand is a great thing! You can now spend that money on something more meaningful.
Never forget the power of DIY. You will continue to benefit greatly and save lots of cash over the years by making your projects DIY.

Did you retighten the brake line connections in engine bay or left them loose.
Good morning, just poured a cup of coffee and am sitting down to answer any and all questions for the DIY community.
We loosened up fitting until brake fluid began dripping out followed by 2-3 very slow gentle presses of the pedal. After that, the master cylinder shifted to a point that allowed the system to return to it’s normal configuration.

I think he was asking if you left them loose or not? Because I didn't really understand your response (Or course not to lose where it drips) @DIYwithMichaelBorders
I was traveling on a highway when I heard a scratching noise. When I pressed on the brakes, I heard a pop and my pedal went to the floor. I forced the brakes and the truck slowly stopped. Long story short, I was escorted home and saw that the caliper piston was fully extended and leaking. I was missing a brake pad.
I removed the caliper, purchased a new rotor and caliper, and replaced both with new brake pads.
I bled the front brakes and I let them bleed until there was no more air bubbles. I bled the back brakes but they only bled for a few seconds then fully stopped.
I started pressing on the pedal and it’s hard when the engine is off, but fully loose when the engine is on.
I bled each brake again and the back ones have no bleed.
Do I have a bad master cylinder or what could it be?
@@OT_Tips
Thanks for watching and sharing your experience, we are glad to hear you’re OK and I made it home safely. A special thanks and 👍👍 to your escort.
The inner piston inside your master cylinder might be stuck in a position that is not allowing the system to be properly bled.
You may need to ever so slightly loosen up one of the brake fittings on the master cylinder (preferably the one on the right if you are standing outside of the car looking into the engine compartment near the driver side front tire).
This will allow the pressure to release and the inner piston to shift back into its normal flow of operation… ultimately allowing the system to properly bleed. Keep us posted. 🧰
I think this is my issue, but I’m nervous about loosen up the wrong connection inside the engine
Thanks for watching, loosening the wrong connection inside engine would be interesting…😲

Hello, I have also issue bleeding my 2 rear brakes (front went good) but there is dot4 coming out. But there is very little liquid coming, it's not even going up my tube :/ any idea? Thanks
Good morning ☕️ any update? Were any brake parts recently replaced or did this begin happening without any recent repairs?
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders hello, well the car sat for a long time, the back passenger caliper was blocked pushing on the disc, so we've rebuild it. We will try to rebuild the master cylinder and to find the proportionning valve (do all cars have one?). For now the car seems to only brake on the front. But what I don't understand is that all the videos I've checked, people doesn't have any liquid dropping when they have this problem, and us we have liquid dropping by gravity, but when we pump the pedal to flush the back break the liquid doesnt travel up our plastic tube... I don't have a clue what is happening...

If you get air in the ABS module you will be in trouble. But I'm not mocking you.👍
My question is when flushing the brake fluid from my friends car I cannot get fluid to come out of any of the 4 wheels, if it was only one wheel that wasn’t bleeding I know that it would be likely a bad caliper but on all four wheels, could it be the abs unit that giving problems or master brake cyclinder. Thanks
Good morning, any update?
Your Master Brake Cylinder (MBC) might be stuck in a position where it’s not allowing brake fluid to flow.
@@DIYwithMichaelBordersIf it's stuck, does that mean that it's ready to give out and needs to be replaced?
@@gracec1665
Good morning ☕️
It is indeed, that’s an indication it’s in its early stages of failure. Sporadic behavior is how it will act moving forward.
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders Yikes! Better to replace the part.
@@gracec1665
Thanks for the reply, and that’s the best route to take. Below is a link to our video that talks about a sporadic behaving Master Brake Cylinder.

i think all you did was reset your proportioning valve; it has to be disabled to bleed the front brakes;
