installing new lines and bleeding 80 series brakes? (1 Viewer)

[Mudless100]

Question: When bleeding the LSPV... does it matter if the suspension is compressed or extended? The valve works to limit pressure as per the rod's particular position, right?

Same process for most of these bleeder systems. Tank holds fluid and pressurizes it. Then you bleed at calipers like normal. This system cuts out the brake pedal pumping, effectively making it a one man job.

I just bought this and used it last weekend- wish I had done it YEARS ago! So easy...

Agreed, after buying this kit I now look forward to bleeding my brakes.

What Motive adapter did you purchase? I don't see an 80 series specific adapter on their website.

 

[GeoRoss]

I am almost certain it is the BA10

^^^This^^^. IIRC there's also a separate quick connect adapter that comes from another company; ask the company that makes the BA10 about that other adapter.

I was under time constraints to finish up some brake work before a trip and used the air hose connectors I had on hand for a temporary solution. It worked and I haven’t changed it out.

Bumping this up. Anyone have details on the quick connect fitting for the Power Probe BA10? I’m bewildered and surprised that the connector built onto the BA10 looks like a standard air quick connector, but it is not and will not work with my existing quick connects. Ugh. What do I need to connect this to standard air fittings? #frustrated

Here is the Harbor Freight SKU: 63551

It is an Automotive type T from Tru-Flate

This is amazing. Thank you @oilbrnr! Have used air tools for 20 years and just learning of the automotive T type connector. It’s like I’ve been living under a rock it seems. Just always use industrial fittings and keep a few around - seems I never paid attention.

Thanks again-

FWIW @Jeeper the BA-10 and Motive bug sprayer worked flawlessly. Not a drop spilled.
