Brake bleeding

[Bob2C]

Bled the brakes on one of my other cars using this system. Worked fairly well. Sucked old fluid out master cylinder reservoir with turkey baster and filled with fresh fluid. Started passenger rear, driver rear, passenger front then driver front. Took about 1 hour with removing tires to complete process. Just make sure to keep fluid in reservoir. This car had 50k miles on it and it is 6 years old. The fluid was black as you can see. I kept the compressor air at 80psi. Just takes a large volume of air. Make sure compressor is large enough. Also I made sure when I closed bleeder I was drawing fluid. Did not want to take chance of air drawing back in. I plan on doing the Tahoe at the 3 year mark. Easy maintenance.

Motive pressure bleeder works way better but it’s about twice the price. I tried the vacuum ones for years before buying a Motive. Wish I’d switched over sooner.

I added speed bleeder screws a couple years ago. I do the fluid every other year. Now a one man job.
