Motive brake bleeder

[mikus]

Who's using one and how do you have it set up in terms of adapters & modifications?

I have one and I like it. I have use it on the galant, my durango, and my wifes jetta. It works best with dedicated adapters. The universal will work buy it can be troublesome getting a good seal. Best bet is to get a spare master cylinder cap and epoxy a fitting to the top. That makes it much easier on the galant.

The thing is straight forward to use and makes life even easier than speed bleeders.

i read of people not putting brake fluid in the unit, rather just topping off, to avoid mess. Is it at all messy?

 

[Dan D]

I've found if you follow the instructions, it's not messy at all. Just clean out the container with some dawn after draining it well into a waste container. I suppose if I was just bleeding on the galant, I might just crack the speed bleeders, but usually I'm flushing since I live in humidity land so I use the motive and it's a lot faster.
