Hi! This is John on behalf of Expert Village. In this video clip, I will take you through step 1 in our procedure for bleeding your brakes. The first step is to raise and support your vehicle. If you do not have a hydraulic jack which I'm sure you probably don't, a floor jack and safety stand work just as well. You are going to go ahead and raise it so the tire is just a little bit off the ground. The next step is to remove your tire. Now if you do not have a pneumatic gun, a tire iron works great as well.
