DIY : How to bleed your brakes

Bleeding your brakes is crucial to keeping them in good working order. Especially if you track or autocross the car. So, I created a quick video that goes over the process for your BRZ/FRS/86.

Let me know what you all think!

Nice video, I just finished a weekend of Autocross in Packwood, WA and the brake fluid change has been on my mind. I don't think I'll bleed them now as I'm just going to replace the fluid entirely but this is a solid how-to video.

Thanks! Doing a complete flush (as you might know) is the same process, just a bit more pedal pumping I miss the days of ATE Blue so you could tell when all the clear fluid was out, or vice versa when flushing back to clear.

Heck yea, the Quickjacks are awesome. Makes life so much easier, still wish I had room for a full size lift though
