How do you bleed brakes on a mx5?
Slowly push down on the brake pedal until it goes to the floor, then release. If you are getting significant resistance, you need to open the bleeder screw a bit more. DO this about 5 -7 times, then check your fluid level in the master reservoir, top off as needed.
How do you Bleed the brakes on a mazda3i?
I bled the brakes on my 09 Mazda3i last weekend and verified it is indeed diagonally-split hydraulically. I figured it out by having my friend hold the brake pedal, I cracked the right rear bleeder, and with him still standing on the pedal to hold it at the floor, I walked around to see which rotors I could spin by hand.
How are you supposed to bleed brakes on?
Tell your helper to let the pedal up, then you open the bleeder… instruct them to STOMP on the pedal as hard/fast as they can, and hold it to the floor (do NOT allow it to come back up)… then you close the bleeder.
Can a brake bleeder work with an ABS system?
Click to expand… The older ABS systems would work with brake bleeders. Newer – ABS devices have their own internal reservoirs that are not a part of the primary brake circuit and are only opened to the rest of the circuit when the ABS is active. The older ABS systems would work with brake bleeders.
Where can I get clear brake fluid for my mg?
You will need around 13 feet of tubing to reach from the furthest bleed nipple back to the MC. You can get clear tubing at most “big box” hardware stores. Aquarium supply stores will also have it. Never re-use old brake fluid or brake fluid from a bottle that has been left open.

What happens if you re-use brake fluid?
Never re-use old brake fluid or brake fluid from a bottle that has been left open. DOT 3, 4 and 5.1 (glycol based) fluids are all hygroscopic, meaning they will absorb water out of the air, reducing braking performance (by lowering the boiling point of the fluid)
