Brake Power Bleeder?

[SDMAN1981]

I’m interested in buying a Brake Power Bleeder, but am looking for one that is under $150. If you have or used any what are your recommendations? I want one that is decent to good quality and that works.

Thanks.

The mityvac unit runs around 120 I think, it works pretty well. Just use air.

I’m not sure if links are allowed, just google mityvac power bleeder.

I was just pondering one of these.

Only problem is that I’d have to buy two, one for each make vehicle I have. I wish it was made with a quick connect end so I only needed one unit, and several ends.

I’ve seen the Mityvac used for engine oil replacement removal. Never thought of it for sucking out brake fluid. It might be difficult to get a perfect seal (as I read about most vacuum bleeding systems), but it would be handy and mutli-purpose.
Here is a review of the Mityvac I saw about it. Looks awesome for some things.

Hi, I know it’s not exactly the same thing, but I have got and used with success a Eezibleed to change all the brake fluid on one of my cars.
It worked well and I did all the procedure in very little time all by myself.

It came with a complete set of adapter caps for a lot of different brake reservoirs.

I don’t know if you know what I’m talking about.
In essence it pushes the fluid out (using air pressure from the spare tyre) instead of sucking it out, and at the same time it replenishes the fluid in the reservoir not allowing it to run dry.

Check it out, it most certainly is under 150 bucks, mine I’ve got on ebay for 36 pounds (about 60 bucks) complete with its kit of caps.

Hope this helps! 🙂

Live long and prosper (and stay dirty!)

Oh, one more idea. For most vehicles, you can get speed bleeder screws. Basically, it’s a new bleeder screw with a one way valve. You hook up the hose like in Eric’s videos, and just pump away. Can’t get any air back in the system. But I kind of assume you don’t like to pump.

You can definitely buy reservoir adapters separately for the pressure blender. You might get lucky and get all the adapters you need in the kit that comes with the pressure blender.

Is that possible? Their website looks like they just sell a kit with an adapter based on your vehicle type. I have a Pontiac car and a Dodge truck. There didn’t like like an option to buy just the tops.
