Power brake bleeder

[cordes]

I would like to not strain my marriage every time I have to bleed brakes. Does anyone have a suggestion for something which won't break the bank and yet wi) make my life way easier?

I have this handheld mightyvac pump I have used and I have also used a power brake bleeder that was made from a garden sprayers that was like this power brake bleeder both have worked.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll look hard at that second style, as I have a nice compressor which doesn't see much use these days.

Gary D suggests to use a pressure regulator at 3 psi attached to a reservoir cap

How does he attach air to the cap, an npt fitting somehow adapted, or a valve stem?

I bought one of these specifically for the later model neons. I wonder if they'd make an adapter to use it for a TD setup.

simple solution is"RUSSEL" brake bleed nipples.. they work one way so you can bleed brakes by yourself
you'll have to figure out the correct ones to fit hole & thread

fora tube to the jar I've always used one of our cars right angled vacuum line boots and an
o-e piece of the hard vac line

it works if you don't push the peddle to hard or fast

a valve stem I believe

I might try that first. It sounds really cheap to do.

i wrap the brake bleeder threads in teflon tape/paste (so i dont get a false air bubble in the hose) and use the mighty vac to pull the air out. I havent had anyone pump the pedal in years.

I also tried this and the teflon tape on the threads is a must.

Thanks for the tips guys. I think I have a bad caliper letting air in somehow. I know I have the calipers on the correct sides and I'm bleeding them properly. I still have a very soft pedal even with the 24mm Mc. I'm going to just put the big brakes on the front and be done with it.
