However, the best wrench is that which is suitable for your car’s bleeder screws. An offset wrench works best for this; it allows room for maximum movement.

After bleeding the brakes, it’s essential to test them to make sure they work correctly. Here are some things to keep in mind: Keep doing the same process until there’s no sign of any air coming out of the bleed nipple, then move over the other caliper if it’s a twin system and carry out the same process.

Second, with such little flow/pressure if you have any air in your ABS system it is almost guaranteed not to work. If you have a vacuum pump you can more easily pull the initial fluid through the system to each banjo.When bleeding brakes, it is important to use the correct size tubing. The tubing should be just large enough to fit over the bleed screw. If the tubing is too small, it will not fit properly and may cause leaks. With your tube over the banjo (nip the other one up if you’re working on a twin front-brake set-up), slowly and carefully fill the reservoir with your brand new brake fluid while pumping the brake lever. Once fluid is flowing through the pipe into your container you can nip up the bleed nipple. If you have twin front brakes, move onto the other caliper and repeat, keeping the reservoir topped up as you pump the fluid through; I found I had to rapidly pump the lever to get the fluid moving.

Start by bleeding the passenger side rear caliper. Have your assistant depress the brake pedal slowly while you open the bleeder valve on the caliper. Fluid and air will start to come out of the valve – when only fluid is coming out, close the valve and move on to the next wheel.

I mean most cars hold about 500ml of fluid so wasting half a bottle of SRF does not sound appealing.On most cars, there will be a bleeder valve on each brake caliper. Consult your owner’s manual if you’re not sure where they are located. Brake bleeding is a process used to remove air from the brake lines of a vehicle.
