I'm going to buy a One-Person Brake Bleeder . Need recommendations. What's the best ?

Corvette Central has one that is a decent pressure bleeder. I used it for two cars, then the piece that fit over the master cylinder broke (it's plastic). I finished the bleeding with a Mighty Vac vacuum system.

The company was good about replacing the broken part but be aware that it's very brittle when cold (below 40 degrees).



This is the brake fluid that I flushed out of my '95 LT1. Remember, brake fluid is suppose to be clear. This stuff is a black as black gets.

Ditto that - I like the Motive bleeder. Makes it an easy one-man effort.

Do a search for some tricks to make it work better.

Motive is the way to go. I also have a Speed Bleeder on my hydraulic clutch line and that works great also. So I would say Motive first followed by a set of Speed Bleeders.

I have a Motive that I don't use, Speed Bleeders are the easiest I have found.

I'll be working on C3s , How will that cap on a MOTIVE work on an old master cyl ?

Ditch the chains that come with it....I use a block of wood and a big C-Clamp...

SPEED BLEEDERS!!!!

Easiest way to bleed them without a helper.

I used speed bleeders that works well, but you will get a harder pedel with the Motive bleeder

I use the Harbor Freight one man bleeder. Works great and it's $3.99. I bleed brakes all the time on the racecar. Don't know why anyone would need anything more than this.

I use that too cost me 5 bucks, unless you are flushing or replacing the lines and refilling the m/c etc that little bottle sticks to the rotor, give the brake a few pumps get out and take a look and when you don't see any bubbles in the clear line it is done.

I used it all the time with my old brakes that were lip seal and used to get air in them

Motive bleeder hands down. No other one man bleeder I've tried even compares.

Motive bleeder with a wood block and C-clamp.

Use it dry, only as a pressure source (15PSI is all you need), and just remove the seal after each corner is done and top off the M/C as you go.

Makes bleeding the C3 brakes almost child's play!!
