Re: [MBZ] power brake bleeder
Don, I've been using a SpeediBleed (www.speedibleed.com) for many years. Very satisfied... But, price is up to $109 ... I paid about $60 IIRC It connects to a tire for pressure.

Re: [MBZ] power brake bleeder
Don - there was a home brew one made from a $10 True Value hand pump sprayer, a Pep Boys master cylinder cap and some hoses - described a couple of years ago on these lists. I made one and it works pretty well. A nice feature is that as a small plastic sprayer, you don't expose a big amount of fluid to the atmosphere and you can see the quantity remaining - also easy to pressurize with just a few hand strokes.

Re: [MBZ] power brake bleeder
Do you have a mighty vac? It has a pressure port. I don't know about the metal ones, but the cheap plastic one comes with an assortment of fittings and i think it will perform this function. ($30 range) BTW, the Quantum does not have ABS, so a simple gravity drain, gravity flush, and gravity bleeding will work. At 09:41 AM 2/1/2006, you wrote: What's a good one to buy?

Re: [MBZ] power brake bleeder
Yea, I have a mighty vac sort of thing that a list members sent me. Don't remember if it has a pressure port or not. ... I might use the bleeder occasionally, but am really buying it as a present for Jeff for all of the work he has done on the Quantum, not to mention hauling it home for me. He mentioned last weekend that he doesn't have one and how nice it would be to have one in his shop at Goodyear. On 2/1/06, Loren Faeth [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Do you have a mighty vac?

Re: [MBZ] power brake bleeder
I have the Motive power bleeder http://www.fcpgroton.com/motiveproducts.htm , don't know how i ever lived without it. Works just like a commercial one except dont need to hook an air hose. I thought about making the homebrew one, but by the time I figured up the price of the parts and the fuel to chase all over the place or shipping charges for said parts, it actually worked out cheaper just to buy the Motive bleeder Robert LT Don wrote: What's a good one to buy?

That is the one in the Performance Products catalog. Actually, two of them (cheap-o and Black Label).

If you have patience (and no ABS) the gravity method is free. In theory it is a pressure bleeder. Just works at a real low pressure. Johnny B.
