I just ordered this from a fella on Vortex, it is a CNC'd piece and will do the job quite nicely. I am going to pick up a small line regulator for my compressor so that I cannot over pressurize the reservoir when I use it, and I look forward to hassle free bleeding forever and ever!

Cost me $15 shipped!

CNC'ed? It almost looks like a cap with a standard compressor fitting from Lowes drilled into it. Either way... a pretty good idea.

I still like my hand pump and collection bottle that plugs into the bleeder valve for my one man bleeding jobs...

I never had much luck with those.

Rubber hose and a Corona bottle is my bleeder of choice

I think it is actually a aluminum cap with a air chuck screwed into. But it might work pretty decent, but I would be afraid that my regulator isn't accurate on my compressor and I screw something up. BOOM!

I also made a "reverse" bleeder today out of a garden sprayer to bleed my clutch. Pic coming soon... cost me $25 bux only because the damn fittings were expensive!

Are you driving the phucker or not?

Scott · « **Reply #6 on:** January 13, 2008, 05:32:20 PM »

Fuck no, the symptoms are EXACTLY the same as before I swapped the part out. I am preparing to change the master cylinder now, but I am fearing the worst (clutch)

I have never had much luck with any of the "one man bleeder" setups - whether blow-through or draw-through. I have the mityvac, etc etc and the pressure bleeder setup, and they are good for flushing and getting in fresh fluid, but a final bleed will always be the 2 person job for me.

toxicavenger · « **Reply #13 on:** January 14, 2008, 07:35:10 AM »

I here u on the "two person job" that is way I still do it because it has always worked for me in the past.

DutchVDub · « **Reply #14 on:** January 14, 2008, 08:10:50 AM »

When I worked at JustBrakes I loved those pressure bleeders. Made life a lot easier.

Scott · « **Reply #15 on:** January 14, 2008, 08:21:24 AM »

Well I discovered last night that one of the fittings on the hydraulic line between the master and slave is leaking... just barely,but it is leaking nonetheless. I ordered it for the low, low price of $73 shipped and now I wait... some more! That little pressure bleeder cap should be here by the time the hose gets here, so at least that is one good thing!

Money pit

Scott · « **Reply #17 on:** January 14, 2008, 08:31:42 AM »

wtf are you on about? That was including the parts I needed to replace AND the oil I needed to flush, fill and bleed everything. My home made tools cost all of 40 bux, and so far have worked quite well.

Why make this process so hard? Just 2 person it and u would have saved time and money! Then u would have had even less cash into the process of doing this. But instead of doing that it sounds like u are trying to reinvent the wheel!

Scott · « **Reply #24 on:** January 15, 2008, 06:56:23 AM »

Yeah, that is what I am doing.... NOT!

Every single person who has EVER done this job has told me that you NEED to back fill the slave with pressure and you NEED to bleed it with pressure or you will spend literally hours doing it the other way. 40 bux is nothing considering that I now have two new tools that can be used over and over.

I did smash my finger, I just pinched it really hard... moved the brake rotor to line up the lug holes, and got my finger wedged between the top of the caliper and the rotor itself... it stung a bit!
