Talking Bleeding Brakes with "Power Bleeder"

I had a bunch of parts to replace on the brake system and had to bleed the system. I never had much luck bleeding with the Mighty Vac. I never felt like I got all of the air out.

Bought the "Power Bleeder" and it works great! Check out this link

BTW: I don't work for the company or anything related.

Basically, it's a plastic bottle you fill with brake fluid. You screw an adapter over the brake fluid reservoir cap. Then, you presurize the bottle by using a small hand-pump on the plastic bottle. Finally, you just open the bleed nipples on the calipers and old fluid and air are forced out of the system. Very easy and efficient for the lone mechanic.

best of luck
