Moto-Brian Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Looking for a vac type or push system to bleed by auto brakes. I have a Mighty Vac I use on the motorcycles, but there are some systems that atcually push the fluid backwards or systems that push in new fluid through the master cylinder.Anyone have suggestions? I am not willing to pay $400 for bleeding brakes maybe a few times ever... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jporter12 Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 I don't quite understand your question. You have the mity vac, it will work just fine.Most cars and trucks I have worked on, I gravity bleed them, then a quick pedal bleed, and it's good to go. I do this for a living, too.Here where I work, we have a brake fluid flush machine that does it all automatically, but I'm sure that's a couple thousand dollar machine!

jporter12 Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 I don't have a mity vac, I have the cheap harbor freight knock off, and it does well for those that won't gravity bleed or pedal bleed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back when I was a certified tech I did brakes almost everyday and that's the method I used. Pretty easy and effective if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moto-Brian Posted July 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 That is great if you have two people. I do not have someone that can pump the brakes and push the pedal and hold. Old style is fine, but I don't want to do it that way.The Mighty Vac pump I have is a hand pump and used for Motorcycles. Using it on the car still requires someone to pump and hold the pedal down. The vac sucks it through.There are systems that allow a one person setup and pushes in via a compressed canister through the M/C and through the brake lines. Pushes in new fluid and bleeds at the same time.Looking for that. Brand and best system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1crusher Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Check this out B. Motive ProductsI was going to get one of these a while back and they are just the trick for one person jobs. You can get just the make of vehicle you need or you can get all the adapters needed as a whole kit for less than $400 (ya cheap bastard ).

ohiomike Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Speed Bleeders. They replace the current bleed screws and have a built in check valve. No need to "pump' date=' hold, open, squeeze, close, repeat..."[/quote']LOL, forgot about those..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazbiker4 Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Hey Brian,My uncle uses a big syringe to push the fluid up to the master. I think my hydro brakes on my bicycle have to go bottom up as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
