How to Tighten a Brake Bleed

"Hi! This is John on behalf of Expert Village. In this video clip, I will be taking you through step 3 in our procedure for bleeding your brakes. The next steps require two people. What I am going to do is I am going to tell the person inside the car to step on the brake pedal. As they do that, I am going to loosen up the bleeder screw and fluid is going to come out and then I am going to tighten it up before the person in the car lets off the brake pedal.

Push it, let off, push it, let off; you may need to do this 3 or 4 times before you get a steady stream of brake fluid to come out. "
