i bled the brakes or i think i flushed it, i was doing each wheel in order until clean fluid came out, the way i pumped it was my cuzin pumped it twice before i opened the valve, then i told him to pump 2-4 times then hold the pedal down, checked fluid and closed valve. is that how your supposed to do it because now the brake pedal is WORSE it goes down all the way now, i thought this would help the brake pedal stay stiff and not go down when im stopped at a light. oh yeah how much are you supposed to open the bleeder screw to bleed the brakes? is a stream of fluid supposed to come out or drips?

 

put brake fluid in a bottle.... put a 1 foot piece of hose from bleeder nipple to bottle, open bleeder valve and pump brake pedal until no more bubbles, then tighten and proceed to next wheel-

 

^^^^ that is exactly how to do it, if u dont have the fluid in a jar with the hose submersed, u suck in air even if u r just draining it, the result is a soft and loose pedal.... just re do it

thanks..i didnt know that putting the hose in a bottle with fluid is important. i thought you just had to drain it, but anyways where could i buy that rubber hose from?

 

any auto parts store should care a bleeder kit that comes with a hose

 

You can go to any automotive store like autozone, schucks, napa, and get a thing they call a one man bleeder. Its basically a bottle with a small 1/8" tube going through the cap. When using it make sure you put in a bit of brake fluid at the bottom of the bottle so that if the brakes suck anything back in before you have a chance to close the bleeder screw itll only be sucking up fluid not air.

ok thanks, because i just bought my new brake setup and im not even feeling the potential of the brakes yet

 

couldnt find a brake bleeder kit so what i did was buy those black lines that are for like fuel and vacuum lines and did it that way, but anyways i got a lot of air out. but i need to do it again cuz its still just a tad bit soft
