1 person brake bleeding the easy way!


Recommended Posts

Unless you want to make a diy pressure bleeder this works just as well, but your quick foot work determines if you can get out giant air bubbles.

Two peices of clear tubing about a foot long each, 1 little hose clamp, a one-way valve and a cup to catch the crap that comes out. Loosen the nipple then close it finger tight. Attach hose to nipple and clamp it on, attach one-way valve to hose flowing away from the brake and attach other hose and put it in the cup. Loosen the nipple and keep the master cylinder toped off and away you go. This way differs from what some people say in that you use a one way valve and you have none of that closeing and opening of the nipple or any help from a friend. Heck I used vacuum lines and the master cylinder one-way valve from the car it self so It doesn't cost you anything.

Have you ever heard of reverse pressure bleeding?? It's cool as heck. Get a hose and a well cleaned 2 litre bottle, drill a hole in the cap and JB weld the hose in, fill bottle with fluid, attach to open nipple at wheel, hold upsidedown and squeeze. forces air up not down and costs nothing. ofcourse you should pressure bleed/flush it normally first to get the particles to go out though the bottom then do this to get the air to go out through the top.
