pressure bleeder

[jblueridge]

Last weekend I gave up trying to bleed my brakes. I had gotten my brake booster back after its warranty repair; why it failed after only 1.5 years I don't know.
I quickly ditched the vacuum brake bleeder tool and went back to the Two Man Method. My 15 year old Pedal Man was not really getting the job done.

With stuff from McMaster Carr and our school's science store-room, I made a 10 psi pressure bleeder tool.

Works very well.

This is what I use, used it quite a lot.

I looked at those online. Seemed like they were for screw on reservoir caps.

I don't think that any of my previous vehicles had screw on tops, but it's been too long to remember the details on all the past vehicles I used this on, just make sure the top on the reservoir is on correct and tight otherwise it makes a lot of mess
