    My Dad's tip was to smear a little grease around the base of the bleed nipple to prevent air getting in when you open it.

    God damn it took like ten 10 minute videos to find a video that gets to the point and makes sense. Thank you.

    Great video. For the guy that doesn't have a mighty vac. I've been flushing dirt bike and street brakes 50 years with just a clear hose with a loop in it to see the bubbles. Connect it crack the bleeder. just keep the master cylinder full and pump slow. You don't even have to close the bleeder. 8mm wrench and a foot of hose

    Love how you mentioned to check for consistent pressure before you start. A failure by most people.

    Reverse bleeding with a 50 ml syringe. Simple and works like a charm!

    Just to be clear... The brake master does not need to be pumped right? The fluid will seep through the plunger in the brake master without any pumping?

    This looks much better than what I experience with my (so-called) "one way" valve.

    While pumping the brake fluid, isn't it necessary to hold the brake pedal down to allow the fluid to flow through?

    Will this work on a completley dry stystem? Will the vacuum suck all the air before the fluid?

    Hello! Can one use instead a small 12v vacuum pump typically used for oil changing?

    what type of rear brake reservoir holder is that? I like the hook part as a safety device for the cap.

  • @jeremy9678
    @jeremy9678 7 років тому +2

    when I did this for my front brakes I got constant air bubbles. full tube of them. bled out entire reservoir 3 times and bubbles the entire time. probably a hole somewhere in the line right?

      Jer Alan you might just get air from the connection between the hose and nipple. Tried securing it with something?

    I got air in my brake line and now my brake lever has no pressure and I'm at a loss

    • @Motoxcross
      @Motoxcross 8 років тому +2

      I did exactly what you said but my brake lever still has no resistance and it was working fine until I decided to bleed it...

    Why would you open the bleed valve before putting the hose on and get brake fluid everywhere? Ah cause you got a stupid adapter, I see.
