If the brake fluid is not changed before the brake job, you must open the bleeder before pushing the piston back. Don’t force dirty brake fluid into the anti-lock brake system.
The problem is bleed is jammed and will snap then what do we do? Customer don’t want to pay it wasent part of the job so I would recommend either stay up to date on fluid flushes or open ur blended valve regularly once a year it will not be jammed
@@donmunro144 it is a closed system, but water and dirt contaminate the fluid over time. The fluid next to the bleeders is the most contaminated. It’s simple and highly recommended by experts to open the bleeder before forcing the piston back. If the bleeder doesn’t open easily or looks corroded, don’t open it.
@amarmot3635 brake fluid draws moisture but only if the air can get to it. And I've never seen water or dirt that is able to pass thru a closed bleeder. The reason you flush isn't because of dirt. It's because of fluid degradation due to heat from the brakes. Not dirt
So do u change all bleeders on the calipers after bleeding? You said they leak. Is it because of the bleeder screw or the caliper us toast? Can u do video how u bleed it so we learn properly Thx
1st bleed valve prolly is jammed!! So new calipers 2nd if blended valve dose open ur all good 3rd chances are bleeder valve might not stop leaking I had that case new bleeder valve didn’t work out either
There's a hole in the reservoir lol. Keep in mind, half of the youtube masters in the comments are kids who have never changed their brakes or anyone else's brakes in their lives!
But this videos about opening valve when compressing the position I had sum one troll 🧌 me now he’s gone to explain who will pay for new caliper if it snaps
I have 30 years of experience pressing the piston back without opening the bleeders. Never had a comeback for anything related to the abs system. If someone wants their fluid changed I’ll of course do that but that’s a separate charge.
@@fisherbrown903 2 years is usually the recommended service life of brake fluid. It absorbs moisture from the air, so, over time, this increases the chance of it boiling under heavy braking causing loss of brake pressure. It can also cause internal corrosion if not changed regularly.

I have owned cars for 200K miles/20 years and never touch the bleeders and never do a flush. It's BS. That fluid don't go bad.
Fluid dose go bad but ur valves are most likely jammed and will never open

I’ve done it for 30 years now. Never a come back. If you want your fluid changed- ask for it. Otherwise hush!
If the system is closed, explain to me how the fluid gets dirty.

17 years in the trade, no, there’s no need to make more mess.
Exactly 👍.

@@RBTheMechanic I know, I wrote that before the ending of the video.
If it's so important to change the brake fluid then how comes no auto manufacturer lists that as a maintenance item? Why? Because it's not necessary.
It is listed in the book
@@RBTheMechanic The book says to inspect the level. Nothing about replacing it like engine oil.

Yes I never do that either it’s only fair to know the owner of the vehicle didn’t flush regularly now u got dirt fluid going back well it’s the truth
Mr rb Is it need to change every 5 years or 10 years? Brake fluid ? Mine 2014 camry
Yes so pro mr rb advice

@@fisherbrown903 I would do it every 20k miles it takes serious beating especially caliper part gets super hot
Hey, glad to see you're ok. 🙏👍 I'm soon to change my brake pads on my older 1999 MB C280. Any advice? Thanks!
Thank you I’m getting better
Nice topic thanks.😁😁
Yup thank you
Great advise , My friend.
Glad you think so!
