How to Bleed Brakes on a Car
- 1). Park the vehicle on a level area, raising the hood.
- 2). Place the emergency brake on before continuing any farther.
- 3). Beginning on the rear passenger side, loosen the lug nuts, raise the vehicle, and remove the tire. Secure the vehicle properly.
- 4). Behind the rotor (round metal directly behind the tire), there is a nozzle and a bolt. Using the tubing, place it on the nozzle and run it into the jar.
- 5). Under the hood, remove the cap to the brake fluid reservoir.
- 6). Loosen the bolt, allowing the fluid to move the tube into the jar. Have your helper pump the brake pedal, pushing the fluid through.
- 7). Once the air is out of the line or when they let you know it feels harder to push, have them hold the brake pedal in. Proceed to tighten the bolt, while they hold it in.
- 8). Check your brake fluid reservoir adding as necessary.
- 9). Once the bolt is tightened, replace the tire. Put the lug nuts back on, lowering the vehicle. Tighten the lug nuts completely.
