    Awesome tutorial on the topic highly recommended for all diy enthusiasts... One question - Do we have to completely empty the brake fluid reservoir/ master cylinder?

    When pressure bleeding, I usually tap the brake caliper and line to detach any stubborn air bubbles while the bleeder screw is open. Also note the position of the bleeder screw on the replacement caliper -it should always be on top to aid in air evacuation.

    What do you think about pressure bleed vs vacuum bleed? I got tools for both....

    • @wayofthewrench
      @wayofthewrench  2 місяці тому +1

      I like pressure bleeding more because usually the system supplies new brake fluid when needed. Vacuum systems do not. Hope that helps. Thanks for the watch!

    You can do all this with the car turned off, right? Just asking in case there would be any air inside the ABS unit

    • @wayofthewrench
      @wayofthewrench  2 місяці тому

      Some cars with abs require special procedures so look up your vehicle steps to bleed it out. Most vehicles I have worked on can be bled normally though. Thanks for the watch and welcome to the channel!

    The idea to use tyre pressure is pretty clever, I like that. I guess you're only losing a few PSI per corner too right?

    • @wayofthewrench
      @wayofthewrench  3 місяці тому +1

      Yeah it uses very little, like 4 or 5 psi for the entire job. It's a wry slick way of doing it. Well worth the purchase. Thanks for the watch and your support for the channel!

      @@wayofthewrench I've been looking for a reliable way to bleed brakes all by myself. I carry an 18v inflator in my Hilux Surf (turbo diesel manual transmission version of the 4Runners you guys got) so I'm getting that kit you used at the end there. Worth it's price in gold. I'm airing up and down all the time anyway.
