Bleeding the brakes on a 2013 Honda Civic. Honda recommends flushing the brake fluid every 3 years. Bleeding brakes usually takes 2 people, one to loosen and tighten the bleeder screw and one person to work the brake pedal. A one-person bleeder bottle with a one-way check valve makes the job much easier. See the links below for the parts and tools I used:

    Thanks for making this short, sweat, and to the point instead of making a whole 30+ min video about this.

    I was told that I needed my front brake pads replaced when I went in for my free oil change. They also said that I needed a “premium brake flush”. I didn’t like the price, so I’m doing rotors and pads ( done before) and will flush the system. I’m not looking forward to the brake flush. The underside of cars is never very pretty in the upper midwest and don’t look forward to anything severely corroded. It looks easy enough. Nice video.

    Be very careful not to spill the brake fluid on any painted surface. Brake fluid will dissolve paint. The good news is that you can rinse any spills off with water.

    Excellent video. I'll definitely do this instead of paying out the a** for a service station to do it. About how much brake fluid did you go through to complete the job?
  • @patricklynch9669

  • @CarlosJimenez-fj4ku
    Is it always necessary to bleed the old fluid? Can I just let it et used up with time?

    i think i need to go to mechanic and flush all the fluid and fill it with new oil.. my breaks doesnt respond properly. after pressing 3-4 times the car stops.
