Great video. Way would anyone dislike this??
@jihyungchun you can if you want. i dont think that’s the easiest way, but
it’s up to you for your car. the STi actually has 2 bleeder screws per
caliper, so it would be 10x easier to take the wheels off and do it.
what resivoir? what you mean by that? imma kind of new to this.
@eric31291 yeah you got air in the clutch system. and yup youre right, you
need to close the cap when bleeding the clutch.
its actually a custom beat my buddy made for me.
i beleive your brake shoes are wrong side of car, nipple should face down
right? The one you were bleeding should be on driver side, unless them are
special shoes
my brake fluid is 200k miles old. ive had no problems. my brake pedal is
kinda spongy, but can be strong. if i get new fluid, will the pedal become
firmer?
What about the ABS? Read somewhere you need a Select Monitor to open the
valves in the ABS to be able to bleed the brakes. 07′ Impreza.
Great video you make it look too easy lol hey how often do you do this I
changed my rotors and pads but didn’t do this will I be fine.!? 😕
I usually open all the bleed nuts and open the master cylinder bleeder and
let it flow out. then bleed. just like a clutch.
just keep pushing firmly until your partner closes the screw, then let off
the pedal.
@rmanuel999 nooooo you have air in your system. that will cause all sorts
of problems. start over and follow the video
What is the brake bleed sequence for this car? I keep getting bubbles, its
so annoying…
Thanks for the vid! Preparing my ’06 Impreza atmo for rally-cross with new
performance brake fluid. Very helpful!
URGENT!!! hey my friend replaced my brake fluid bt he only replace the
fluid of the front calipers and the way he did it is dat he open the valve
and told me to push the pedal and hold it many times till all the fluid was
out and then he pour new fluid into the reservoir … IS THIS SAFE???
This video helped me understand the process of changing the brake fluid.
Thanks!
@MegaDavidHa i got it at home depot. any home improvement store or hardware
store should have it though.
@thepengestration as far as i know yes, but anyone else chime in if you
know otherwise.
Bravo!
you should change your fluid right away. it may be “fine” in normal
conditions, but if you need to brake hard and fast, that old brake fluid
isnt going to do you any favors. and yes it should help with a spongy pedal
a bit
dude, my battery is flat on me MY04 Sti…its basically dead. Tried to
connect new battery and the alarm just goes off…dont know how to turn it
off or set it back to normal. Can you give advise on how to connect new
battery and set the brand alarm system back to default? Thanks
I have a hard time finding what I am looking for on the CD, or finding it
again, and it does refer to BR-47, whatever that is, for bleeding, so maybe
it is there. Well, I found what I was looking for about when the Select
Monitor is needed. I haven’t kept up on technology for 20yrs, and the Sube
handing me many things to learn and relearn. Thanx for the replies, and
making me search again. Was thinking my only option was the dealer.
@yasin540 changing the fluid in the reservoir would be like not changing
your fluid at all. you need new fluid in the brake lines, that’s the
important part.
@nbasam2354 brake quiet. its a lube for the metal parts on the shims of the
brake pad.
best guide out there

Really clean, well layed out video. Super easy to follow. Thanks for this,
I’ll be doing this on my 06 STi I just bought 🙂
thx man great explanation but im having a little trouble with bleeding my
clutch. i pumped all the old fluid out but have a soft pedal now. i guess
imma have to redue it. You got any tips on how i should do it? i got same
car a civic 98 ex. i did leave the resevoir cap off though while bleeding,
i think i needed to close that to create the right pressure though. you got
any ideas on the right sequence?
where did you get a service manual? I have a shop one on CD, and doesn’t
give details on how to do things. To get a paper manual I had to get a
Haynes for 00′ to 06′ Legacy and Forester. figured they were similar
enough, and had pictures. The drawings on the CD don’t get it for me. I
know how to bleed brakes, but hearing about problems because of the ABS,
and the Select Monitor, I didn’t want to get stuck. Can’t find the info I
saw but have read the ABS pump has to be cycled to get any fluid out
@ejicon yeah its not that bad an install. shoot, sorry i dont know the size
off hand, but i think it would fit nicely over your standard ink pen.
what size tube would you recommend to buy to bleed brakes?
@Fox1991 recycle it. you have to take it to a hazard waste center, auto
part stores wont take it
@200103511 yeah due to the lengths of the hard lines.
@faYte0607 as much as you can. you won’t be able to suck it all out, plus
youre going to be refilling the reservoir with fresh fluid before you pump
the brakes, so youre not in danger of creating air bubbles in the system.
@AKASIFAK leaving it off is fine
Great Video. Thanks…

@achrisdesign haha, your master cylinder is totally bad, either that or you
have a leak in one of your lines somewhere. check your lines first, but
that sounds like the master cylinder
@toxic666v link isnt working
do you used funnel also when changing transmission fluid or engine fluid?
just want to ask if that can be. less time less work
wow dint even know your suppost to bleed the brake fluid criss cross, good
thing i watched .lol
@nukem384 How exactly did you jack the car up? Because I heard that you can
only do it a certain way soo you dont damage things.
You wouldn’t know where the master reservoir would be on a ’05 Golf FSI
would you? I can’t seem to find it at all, and we don’t have a Manufacturer
Manual.. Thanks 🙂
