Thank you, Thank you, Thank you
Somehow I saw one in a book and it was for a Chevy. It was way expensive and I didn't pay attention too well as to how simple the mechanics of a pressure bleed is! Awsome
These links are super usefull and I'm buying this system now. I will use it for every vehicle by purchasing an M/C cover for said vehicle and drilling a hole for a valve stem.
On another note per other responses and per Chevy... The ABS system MUST be defeated mechanicaly by attaching somekind of clip on the ABS 'head end' to insure that the piston inside the ABS doesn't engage and this is what I refered to as 'neutral' position or perhaps this means 'open' position. It is imparitive that it be done this way to vacate ALL trapped air. I'm not just bleeding a wheel/slave cylinder. The fluid was replaced and so was the M/C, therefore I must start the bleeding from the M/C not the wheel, but,... to the last wheel!! Now to assume... The ABS has it's own pump/motor/piston. It allows the fluid from the M/C to pass through until it is 'called' to operate. Therefore it remains closed and if it has air in it... then it needs to be mechanically opened or "a clip" to hold it open while bleeding. Assume the car to have TWO M/C's
