How to bleed brakes on your car Ford Crown Victoria

In this video I explain and demonstrate how to bleed the brakes on your car. This particular vehicle in this video is a 2002 Crown Victoria but this procedure is generally the same on all other vehicles. Bleeding the brakes will remove any air in the system and should be done should the brake system develop a leak, or you replace a component that required you to open the system and expose it to air.

Brake fluid also absorbs moisture and should be done every two years. I do not replace it that often, but it should at least be done every time you replace the brake pads to prevent the fluid from rusting the calipers or the lines from the inside, and seizing the bleeder valves inside the calipers.
