Thumbs up Motive Power Bleeder

I bought the Motive Bleeder and used it to bleed and flush the system after a rear brake job. Worked as advertised....I just followed the directions on the canister. The brakes are working fine. Finally, got her out on the highway last night at 11:00PM when I finally wrapped up with a new parking brake shoes/springs, RR caliper replacement, new RR BALO rotors with Textar pads, and this brake fluid flush. AND this is the first time I have ever flushed a brake system myself...piece of cake with the Motive bleeder...I will have to keep an eye on those hoses that come with it...based on some of the feedback earlier in this thread.

Ah! The satisfaction of a DIY brake job.....She ran (and braked!) like a champ.

Thanks again to Csnow for his advice on root causing that sticky parking brake gizmo that took some engine oil and a tiny dab of brake grease to finally work right...
