bleed brakes?

Question

whats ther easyest way to bleed brakes alone

Answer 1

My favorite method is to use Speedbleeders. They replace the usual bleeder screws with one way check valves, so you can just open them (one at a time, of course) and pump the pedal.

Answer 2

wouldn't say it's easy at all to bleed on your own but if you must, buy a one way bleed kit .
the tubing should fit tightly over the bleed nipple.

fill the container with a little bit of brake fluid to create the necessary conditions for this to work and to stop ya sucking more air in,

open the brake fluid tub in the engine bay and crack off the nipple you want to bleed. make sure the bay container is full, then pump 4-5 times slowly, but full pedal strokes. hold on , then tighten the nipple.

rapidly pump the pedal to see if air is still there, it should feel pretty tight by now. if not repeat and try again.

Answer 3

so its a front disk rear drum affiliation. the adjustment on the rear shoes provides the peddle top. regularly you could gravity bleed many of the air out if no longer there's a leak. do no longer enable the grasp cylinder run out for the time of bleeding if so initiate lower back. by using gravity bleed I mean with the front of back jacked up open the bleeder nipple till fluid comes out. then detect a helper or use a hose with a a million way valve in it for an extremely final bleed. you do no longer even difficulty attempting a attemptchronic till the brake peddle feels ultimate to push on. i think of you have a leak.

Answer 4

I've done this alot. Folks tell me you cannot do it alone but that's not true.

1) bleed the master cylinder with a master cylinder bleed kit available at the auto parts store, follow the enclosed directions. If you have a single reservior master cylinder, you can skip this step.

2) bleed each wheel cylinder with a wheel cylinder bleed kit available at the auto parts store, follow the enclosed instructions.

With both of these bleed kits you are buying instructions on what to do. These instructions are as valuable as the contents of the kit.

3) be patient. if it doesn't work start over at the beginning and follow instructions and think about and observe what you are doing. it will eventually work. when it does, the next time you do it alone it will be much faster.

Answer 5

find a bottle and fill it 1/4 way with brake fluid. Hook a long hose to you're bleeder valve and stick the other end into the bottom of the bottle with the brake fluid. loosen the vale and pump away.

Answer 6

they sell the brake bleeding kit at any autoparts store, it has a hose extension that helps you do it while you are inside the car pumping your brakes ant it also helps you by not spilling any brake fluid on the ground if you ask me this kit works awesome. Good Luck!

Answer 7

If you cannot get a helper to push the pedal for you I would reccomend a vaccum bleeder. You hook it up to shop air and use suction to remove the air. I have one and it works great. I reccomend Mighty-Vac brand its a life saver when you are by yourself

Answer 8

Just start the car and, in park, press the brake pedal many times until it gets tight. Then test drive. If they are still too loose, repeat the above. If they are still too loose, you may want to check and be sure the brakes are properly seated and installed.
