How To Power Bleed Brakes Using A Motive Power Bleeder

I went to highschool at the same time as mike....I remember him rolling around in a lowered purple e36 lol

Thanks for a great video detailing a brake fluid flush. Glad you included the tidbits and pitfalls to avoid. Outstanding!

Thank you, very detailed. I will get a pressure system instead of a vacuum system. Shade tree mechanic here, laying on the grass, no lift for the vehicle. 😁

As I learned today, the little rubber gasket seal these Motive bleaders come with...is important, lol. Mine came with two, a smaller/thicker rubber gasket, and a larger/thinner one. Not knowing the difference I used the smaller of the two. It fit fine on the brake reservoir, and was holding pressure up until about 10psi, which is when it blew right off the top - spraying fluid everywhere. So yeah, if you're about to do this job and you're watching this video like I did....make sure you use the right gasket. Great video btw! Other than my own stupidity, the directions are spot on!

PERFECT TOOLS for an easy job. Your VIDEOS are the best and all YOUR TIPS are awesome. Thanks Michael. Love watching all your Tutorials. WIll pick up a set

Amazing video. Clean lighting. Steady camera work. Very professional!

Thanks bro you are awesome. I am doing my 2020 WRX tomorrow morning. You helped me out tremendously, and I appreciate it😎👊🤘

Love mine. I use it dry when I rotate tires - simple enough to do and top off in between jacking up each corner.

I installed a quick connect fittings in the line from the tank to the cap, makes installing easier as the tubing does not get twisted. Have been using this bleeder system for over 10 years.

This tool seems to work well on ABS and non-ABS. GREAT video hope to buy pressure bleeder. Thanks

These really are awesome to have. We have multiple cars so I bought the 'quick connects' and redid the hose ends. (Kinda like Air Tool Couplers) helps the hose from twisting up. Motive has cool bits to make the jobs sooo easy. Denatured Alcohol to clean things up when finished.

Excellent video instructions!!!

Excellent video

Many of the new Audi's service manual call for approx. 30psi to bleed the brakes. This forces the ABS system valves open otherwise you get no flow to all of the calipers. You can do it with the Motive, you just have to pump it up until the needle goes past the 20psi mark. Even though the manual says 2 Bar (29+ psi), many say a little past 20 psi will work. I had a very slow flow from the rear Calipers on a '14 RS5 at just over 20psi.

Thanks! Huge help.

nice tutorial looking very easy to bleed in that style great

Great video!

Great video, I was cheap so I went ahead and bought the "smotive" version of this device. I am actually really impressed with how feature rich it is however. There was a slight leak when I put it to 10psi ( could hear it but the psi did not decline rapidly). I adjusted the cap a bit and it seems to have gone away.. wondering if the threads on my reservoir are worn.

2012 Volvo S80 T6. Swapped the front brakes to the XC60 dual piston calipers with the 336mm rotors. Bleeding the whole system just in time for some vacation trips 🎉

Thank you.
