Hi, this may be a total newb question bbut i want to know if anyone have a good trick to bleed the brake ?

especially when you are alone ?

im waiting for u guys

 

Fill the brake master cylinder with fluid.

Go out to your local hardware or automotive store and get a vacuum bleeder.

Open the bleeder screw and pull fluid out until there are no more air bubbles. Watch how much fluid you pull.

You do not want to pull out all of the fluid.

 

i agree but you do this one with an helper or alone standbo?

 

Best case scenario is with a helper.

If it is three AM and you have no one you can handle it if you just watch how much you pull out.

 

The vaccuum pump method is a pain in the ****! I've had to resort to it, but don't like it at all.

See if you can find Russel Speed Bleeders. They replace the bleeder screws in your calipers and allow you to bleed th brakes just by opening a valve and pumping your brake pedal.

Earl's also makes a similar product called Solo Bleed or something like that. DO NOT BUY THESE. I bought them. They worked once, but had fallen apart by the time I went to bleed the brakes again (like 4-5 months later).

Russel speed bleeders are good. If you already have full pressure on your system. If you are bleeding from lets say a new caliper install you are going to have a ***** of a time building the pressure needed to seat the spring in the speed bleeder. You will stay there for hours trying to get it right.

There are also postive pressure bleeders that connect to the brake master cylinder and push all of the air out of the bleeder screws. Ask me how I know about that one!?!?!??!! hahahahha

 

ok with a buddy we bleed all the 4 calipers (like 4-5 pump each) but the pressure seem to goes away, i have to brake 2 time for the car to stop, WHY?

the master cylinder isnt old

 

What order do you bleed them in? I was always told to start with the furthest caliper from the master cylinder and work my way to the one closest. Nissan has a specific order to bleed them in in the FSM, but it is not far from how my rule of thumb works out.

Also, do you have ABS? The ABS pump will have bleeder screws on it too - I'm not sure how or when to bleed the ABS.

Booster problem?

 

Forget about bleeding for a moment. Did you reset your calipers correctly?

On most models, all you need to do is turn the rotors with needle nose pliers (clockwise, I think..I can find out for sure if this is the problem) and this should allow the brake fluid to flow properly to the calipers.

Be sure to wear a grin while doing this or your brakes will be sad.

 

Just to reiterate, the loss of pressure does not sound like a problem with the fluid or "air" in the lines. I'm almost positive you've got another problem, although, I cannot say for sure that it's resetting the calipers as I recently stated!

Let me know what happens.
