Brake Bleeders

[gary h]

Wondering what is a Good Hobbyist brake bleeder ? (other than Wife or GF)

I've tried a hand held vacuum bleeder. Was not happy with it. Went back to the old someone pumps the pedal and hold method.

I've used a one man bleeder I put together with a one way check valve, couple lengths of clear hose and an empty water bottle. It works pretty good, but I still prefer the two person method.

I have had good luck with the power bleeder, but you do have to buy adapter for your MC. I used it on 2 cars that had dry (restored) systems, And one foreign (Porsche) car.

On an old jeep I used the old MC cap and drilled and tap to hook up the unit. You just pump it up and start bleeding. You need to check the reservoir on each wheel then re-pump.

You do not have to bench bleed new MC.

But like always follow the instruction
