Before you begin, take a moment to gather the necessary tools and materials. We’ve listed these for you below.

Ensure your vehicle is parked on a level surface, the engine is off, and the parking brake is engaged. Remember that safety should always be a priority when working on your vehicle.

Take the clear plastic tubing and attach one end securely over the brake bleeder valve. Place the other end into the catch container filled with a small amount of brake fluid. Ensure it's submerged in the fluid to prevent air from entering the brake lines.

With the tubing in place, have a helper sit in the driver's seat. Instruct them to press the brake pedal slowly and hold it down. While they hold the pedal, use a wrench or socket set to open the bleeder valve. You'll see a mixture of air bubbles and old brake fluid flow into the tubing. Close the valve once the fluid stream is clear, and then have your helper release the brake pedal. Repeat this process for each wheel in the following order: rear passenger, rear driver, front passenger, and front driver.

Throughout the process, keep an eye on the brake fluid reservoir under the hood. Ensure it doesn't run dry; add brake fluid as needed. Be sure to use a quality brake fluid recommended for your vehicle.
