Brake Bleeding in this video. 1997 to 2006 Jeep TJ-LJ brakes are pretty much the same except for the addition of disc brakes on later models. After speaking to Blake (Owner) from Black Magic Brakes he mentioned that the portioning valve is a problem with these mainly 03-06 models. He said it will slow the bleeding process down sometimes and proceeded to give us a work around.

    Good freaking night! I had no clue to have the key on I have been trying to bleed those brakes on my 03 for at least three hours! Thank you so much for the help here!!

    I ordered the "Brake Bleeding Lock-Out Tool" for $13.95 from Blaine at Black Magic Brakes. I ordered it just as a precautionary measure not wanting to deal with the shuttle valve shifting issue. Thanks for your video.

    Great video, Question: Is it normal for the banjo screw to be releasing fluid without the bleeder valve being loosened as you demonstrated at 2:12? I bled my brakes by loosening the bleeder valve and there was fluid letting out from the brake hose end where the banjo screw lies. It is brand new and I made sure the washers were on each end and tightened good. I would appreciate your input on that, thanks!
  • What would you recommend me to do if I have bleed all 4 break line and I am only getting pressure in my front breaks but not in my back breaks? I have recently replaced my rear break line a also replaced my proportional valve
  • @_marty10
    So you only replaced the front brakes? Did you have to bleed the rear as well?
  • @---rg1gb
    How do the new brakes feel compared to the old ones?
  • Great info, last month I change the rear calipers and I notice a poor bleeding, I will redo it, by the way what brand are your rear hoses ?
  • @lampali
    Is the key or bypass required for the older TJ ie 1998?
  • @DougFL66
    So key on but not running engine right??
  • I wouldn't trust this video to bleed my brakes system. Lot of nonsense 😢
