Brake bleeders

Post by smh00n »

I am one person, so what are the better one-person brake bleeders out there?
I suppose Repco is a level above SuperNastyCheap?

I bought a cheap vacuum pump from ebay. Seems to work OK.

Plastic hose on each bleeder into a glass or plastic bowl. Open each bleeder & let gravity do the job. Just keep the master topped up. When the bubbles stop on each wheel, close that bleeder. Have a beer (or in my case tea), while you wait & watch ......

Never pump the pedal while bleeding brakes as that will move the piston in the metering block.

Oz how fast is that process? If its just one cup of tea I'm keen.

No distribution block on this bad boy, straight from a PBR master to the lines. Remains to be seen if the booster fix fixes the brakes.

Air Boy Vacuum Bleeder (made in Denmark). They are pretty mint once you use one you will never look back.

Remove the rubber boot from end of bleeder, suck out the master cylinder, wipe out any visible contaminants, top up master and then work your way around the calipers usual order. You can do all four corners in no time at all.
