I need to bleed the brakes on my car. I have used the old pump the brake system in the past. What new fangled equipment is out there and what works the best???? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif)

Been there on the fluid leak. Problem is the vent tube on the reservoir. Early cars have the vent, later don't. You need to pull the tube off the reservoir and plug the outlet with a golf tee/ screw or some such. I think you can also pinch the hose with a clamp or small vise grip. Hose will be brittle so be careful.
My first power bleeder experience was on a '75, no problem. Next I did a '70 and had a lake on the garage floor. |
