"Now that you've made sure that you've got everything tight from doing your own brake work down here we have just finished topping off the fluid. We can go into the vehicle and pump the brakes to make sure that everything is seated properly. Then after you check the fluid to make sure you have the proper amount you want to get inside the car before you do any driving and pump the brake pedal up to make sure the piston has gone back to its proper place to make sure you have the right tension because if you do not do this and you go to back out or whatever situation you're in and you go to press the brakes you're going to have nothing in the beginning whenever you do do this. So you have to like pump it up to get the pressure back up onto the brakes. So you want to come in and maybe pump it four or five times until you feel that the brake is actually like stiffened. The brake pedal has stiffened up. So that is how you finish your brake job."
