Re: [MBZ] MityVac troubleshooting
Thanks for the feedback, everyone - I'll be seeing about cleaning it up this weekend. Mostly just relieved it should be fixable with a little poking around, at this point. Stuart S.
Re: [MBZ] MityVac
I like the one (pressure bleeder) that's advertised in the STAR for about $40. It's a miniature garden sprayer with a pressure gauge and a screw-cap on the end of the hose. The screw cap goes on the top of the brake reservoir. The only thing I don't like about the design is that the cap is hard mounted to the hose so you need to unwind the kinks in the hose as you screw the cap on the reservoir. The other gotcha is the little rubber buttons on top of the reservoir. If those buttons are hard or cracked, they'll let the pressure out ... and a bunch of brake fluid as well. Recommend replacement if in doubt before pressure bleeding.

Re: [MBZ] MityVac
I built one based on this version. I highly recommend adding the pressure gauge, and using a sprayer body with a built in pressure relief valve. It's nice to know how much pressure you're running and have the ability to release that internal pressure when you've finished.

It's got rubber flapper valves in it. Easy solution is that there is foreign matter in a valve. Harder solution requires a repair kit for $10 or so. Either way, you've got to disassemble the thing.

Re: [MBZ] MityVac
Now that I think about it I do think I used it to bleed brakes ones. With the little canister deal though. Im just not sure. I did keep my cheap plastic one which was supposed to be for bleeding brakes only. I just cant remember if I used the metal one for bleeding or not. Will take it apart and see what I can do with it.
