Execute Brake Bleeding
At 3:13 in
We finally caught the pig....and this happens! Showing my wife we paid off the farm!
What happens here
With a partner assisting by pressing the brake pedal, the creator gets underneath the truck to access the bleeder valve on each wheel cylinder or caliper. The process involves coordinating with the partner: the partner 'mashes' the brake pedal and holds it down, while the creator quickly opens the bleeder valve to expel air and old fluid, then closes it before the pedal is released. This process is repeated until no more air bubbles emerge and only clean fluid flows, indicating all air has been removed from the system. Regularly check the master cylinder fluid level and top it off as needed to prevent new air from entering the system.
Goal: Remove air from the brake lines.
