Playtime Comments : [ChrisFix] How to Make a One Person Brake Bleeder for Under $5

La***********:

Having bought the tubing yesterday, I'm going to add a small but important detail that Chris neglected to mention: pay attention to both the inside diameter (ID) and outside diameter (OD) of the tubing. As Chris' drill bit demonstration at 0:51 shows, he was using 1/4" ID tubing, not 1/4" OD, and then he notes at 2:09 that the hose wouldn't fit through a 1/4" hole in the cap and he had to enlarge the hole some more.

The 1/4" ID tubing I bought at Home Depot has an OD of 3/8", and thus would require a 3/8" hole in the cap to fit properly. So if this otherwise excellent video inspires you to make one of these for yourself, remember that you need to have both diameters in mind: the ID to match your bleeder screws, and the OD for the size of the hole you drill in your bottle cap.

I think OSHA would like to talk to you about @2:17

Ch************:

Why not drill the lid not on the bottle then now debris in the bottle.

Lu**********:

Awesome tip: Use superglue or epoxy to attach a 5 inch by 5 inch piece of wood or MDF to the base to make a wide base for the bottle and make sure it doesn't tip over.

Mr********:

Abraham Lincoln called, said he want's his electric drill back..

Jo********:

Nothing wrong with frugality and thrift.  Decades ago most tools were still made in the U.S.A. for dependability, reliable use. To last a life time. See nothing wrong with it.  Good sense.  Don't always have to give in for status, materialistic false beliefs perceptions of consumerism.  If you can?  Buy products in the U.S.A!  give ourselves a job, and our future youth opportunities, here in the U.S.A..

Mr***:

the od of a 1/4" hose is 3/8 so use a 5/16 drill bit to make ur hole,,,

Je**********:

I prefer the old style hand-crank drill. Could you post another video using this tool? Also to save time, when you drill the "pilot hole".... why not drill the "vent hole" at that time? Yep, I am a genius!

Zh*****:

Take the cap off first and you wont have to clean the bottle again,also it will be a lot more stable when drilling it.

ff****:

That's 1/4 I.S. Diameter hose

Ja******:

Just used a 32 oz plastic (speedway) convenience store cup and double layer plastic lid. Eli inmates the whole drill a hole and a air hole into a water bottle issue and allows for a wider base. Hose slides right in. Taiduh!

Sh************:

That drill looks ancient! :)

nu******:

I plan to make one of these that I can use to bleed the brakes on a motorcycle I plan to buy soon.. :)

An************:

can i get the plastic tubing at a home depot?

mi*******:

how some one can thumb down a video like this one? provably a dealer who want to sell this tool for 30$ :(

sp**********:

That 1970s B & D drill was neat, I have one just like it. 

Just remember, don't use a drill while holding an object in your hand while you are drilling.  Shop safety is important.  What will your viewers think?

kn********:

Chris I absolutely love your videos. You may however want to reconsider using that drill.

The old 2-wire, non-grounded, non-"double insulated" power tools are DEATH waiting to happen and NOT easy to let go of when the electricity begins to flow through your body! Read this on a website so you may want to research that a little further.

Our company no longer allows us to use them. Stick with the Ryobi!!

Anyways keep making those awesome videos.....

Do***********:

dude your videos are great for DIY people

kp****:

Holy crap this was very helpful. ChrisFix, you are the man!!

ab***********:

Sometimes i want to subscribe to ur channel twice ,,,

ch***:

Chris, u said brake fluid is corrosive so I'm wondering why u didn't wear rubber gloves. Is it not corrosive to your skin also?

Cl**************:

Chris, I wish to thank you for:
1) Not treating viewers like idiots
2) Not having massive commentary as other channels do
3) Having minimal product placement
4) Having very goo camera angles and technique
5) Just being all around "matter of factly" not professorial or all knowing

Ki*********:

They now have the new mini bleeders at AutoZone for $7.99...Still a great Video, I always watch your uploads. They have helped me make thousands.!

Pa*********:

Great advice love the way you use imperial measurements good old school we are all metric in the uk thanks for sharing

RC****************:

Works great,,,Thanks for tip...Damn bro..Grand POP wants his drill back...LOL 1957 Black and Decker

fr*******:

When my brother visits I get him to pump the brakes, it's good to work together and helps us bond. Been through 2 wills and we still talk, not everyone can say that.

Gi**********:

little tweak that i'd suggest is to make the hose a good bit shorter and tying a string round the bottleneck so it can be hung from a coil or something

Th**********:

Totally useful , informative, money saving and clearly explained.

Ri*******:

Drill the hole in bottle cap to match the OUTSIDE DIAMETER of the tubing, not the INSIDE DIAMETER.

Te************:

A slight variation for a one man bleeder would replace vent hole w/ a 1/4" hole and use a hand vacuum pump/tube to lower pressure in bottle to pull brake fluid from system. This avoids leaving brake assy location to pump the brake fluid out. For this variation a glass bottle must be used as thin plastic will collapse due to vacuum created w/ hand pump.

With this variation of one man bleeding, some bubbles will enter brake fluid stream at the loosened bleeder due to pressure differential, however no air is introduced into brake system.. Some use grease around bleeder to prevent this, but it's not necessary.

I've also found that the clear (acrylic?) plastic tubing tends to harden due to brake fluid making subsequent use very difficult. Rubber surgical tube resists hardening and remains flexible after exposure to brake fluid.

Nice video.  Regards

Ar********:

I need a link to a blue POWERade bottle

Mr**************:

I used a medium sized glass peanut butter jar. (Yes you can still buy those. Maybe a glass mason jar will work too) It's not too big and the weight helps it stay upright. Have had it fifteen years now and still going.

Ke********:

2nd day of binge watching #chrisfix You rock for making great DIY auto videos!!!

Kr*******:

yeah, good shit. I've been using this "fix" for probably 10 yrs now...Waayyyy less mess. I've never tried using a zip-tie, but that's a good idea fo sho

Ro*************:

if you made four of them could you breed all your brakes at once?

Ha********:

Thank you Chris! I just did my own brake flush on my car, and wow, the fluid came out black and air bubbles came out. Now my brakes are firm at the top of the pedal and no more fade! I followed this video and the other video on how to flush the fluid and it was a breeze. Great work man

To******:

makes me laugh that there are some people going on about the lads voice etc etc and even name calling, sad world we live in or let me correct myself there......alot of SAD people out there,  all he is doing is helping or trying to but seems like alot of windowlickers don`t realize that,  good vídeo chris most people am sure find them very helpful.

CC****:

Also this is a trick I do so as not to waste brake fluid. Take a old ear syringe and suck out the old brake fluid in the master cylinder down to just above the holes for the fluid to go out. You may have to remove a plastic screen in some master cylinders which is there to keep junk out of your brake system, drop the screen back in if it had one. Then fill with new fluid and do the brake bleed as normal for your car or truck, this way you start with mostly new fluid instead of pushing old fluid through the system.

JZ*******:

Chris: Your bleeder is similar to one I built myself. The only difference in mine is that I used a much longer piece of clear tubing and did not run it directly down to the catch bottle. Instead I ran it up to a point about 6 inches above the bleeder screw. This held the most recent fluid in the line and permitted me to see the fluid in the clear line before it drained into the bottle, letting me know if I was getting clear fluid or still getting air. Permitted me to press on brake pedal and go round to the wheel being bled and see my results directly in the clear tubing. Just finished replacing all the brake lines and hoses on my 96 S-10.
