Motive Power Brake Bleeder
I bought one of these a while back for bleeding brakes. Thought I would share some info on its use. GREAT!
Hooked the unit up to the MC and bled the brakes. I had virtually zero peddle from sitting a long time. On the LR inside bleeder after about 5 seconds of fluid flow there was at least a 10 second flow of air bubbles, then clear fluid. I know the "2 man method or vacuum bleeding would not have gotten this air out. I found air in the other rear also. Finished up and the peddle is rock hard. This is the way to go for bleeding the vette brakes, which at times is too often.
HINT - Make sure the plate that goes on the MC is very tight. 10-15psi in the bleeder container sure squirts brake fluid all over the place if not tight.
Here is their web site if interested in looking.
