The clean fluid bottle will keep the reservoir full if you leave it open. It will fill up to the nozzle then the fluid pressure will stop it until more fluid is removed, so it auto fills.
I had to watch your video to understand how to use a tool I've had since 2008 I've never used it to bleed my brakes before. I was smart enough to purchase it but not use it correctly. Thanks for setting me on the right track.
I love these new bleeding devices. I have a "SnapOn" one like the one you showed (work purchased it, not me). I would like the pressure bleeder that you pump up on top of the master cylinder, these seem as good/better. Nice job, I love the content. I was a big time DSM guy about 20 years ago. Luckily, I still have my 1992 Talon AWD and will get back to driving it. Keep it up!
Thank you rgeier. Yes, as you saw these vacuum bleeders are sweet indeed. Very happy that you like the content and the support you give. And so glad you are a long time DSM’er!
Where did you get this its cool. Notice harbor freight has some very similar at 99.99 new. I may have to upgrade. I just picked up brake bleed kit from JEGS comes with hand pump. Haven't used it yet waiting for few parts come in.
So got an update the tool is a must have.. I ended up pre and post foot pumping my brakes in-between using the machine. Also replaced the brake calipers pads and brake lines.. also ON THE ROAD YOUR FOOT WILL PUSH THE PEDAL TO STOP.. so doing this just pumping it and then walking over to the machine.. was a great vacuum for my pt cruiser with split ceramic pads. Drilled slotted rotors built transmission shift kits and a limited slip differential. Please use a pan for brake fluid also..if your pads wear out uneven get a new caliper off Amazon or your trusted parts store
Just cut the sleeve down on the fill reservoir to just a little under where the clamp sits and re slit it like it was factory. It is designed to not flow once it's at the bottom of the bronze sleeve, otherwise it would just overflow all over the ground. Also, I just purchased mine(same model) and I'm wondering, yours still in working order?
that hose end deal is worthless....just use the hose...also... pull the bleeder out first wrap it with plumbers silicone tape , then re-insert it... until it stops, re-open it.... the vacuum won't pull air around the threads anymore
The brake reservoir is open to atmosphere and if there is any air in the bottle it rises to the top when the bottle empties into the reservoir. Remember it’s a reservoir that holds the fluid for the brake system. The bottle is filling the reservoir just like you do when you had brake fluid to it.
You can bleed your disc brake system with the cover off of your master cylinder: as long as you keep the fluid level between the Min mark and the Max mark. The master cylinder fluid refill container shown in this video -- the one with the gold adapter on it -- is not adjustable for height, so the nipple that the brake fluid flows through is submerged, generally speaking, when clamped to the master cylinder neck, which makes refilling the master cylinder physically impossible. The only time that the fluid refill container shown in this video will work is when the fluid level in the master cylinder is very low, which increases to risk of allowing additional air into the brake system. I quite agree with the author of this video that this is a design flaw that deserves the lower rating he gave it. By the way, I have used clamp-on brake fluid refill systems that are a two-part design. The first part clamps to the neck of the master cylinder, while the second part, which is screwed onto the top of the fluid refill bottle, allows one to slide the nipple up and down. In fact, the nipple I'm describing is shorter than the one shown in this video, so the point is that it's never submerged in the master cylinder reservoir, which makes it much more effective than the one shown in this video. This is part of the Holt 57057 "Pneumatic Brake Bleeder With Auto Refill Kit" ... and, No, I am not affiliated with Holt Industries in any way. I'm just a guy who's done more brake work than I care to admit to.
@@RustysMustangGarage that's wierd in all the race applications I've seen the blue stuff is dot5 most normal cars don't take it but if they make a blue dot 4 fluid then that's kinda cool
@@justaregularguy3827 don't think it is availability in the US anymore, or VERY difficult to find. For refrence DOT5 is purple per DOT regulations. 3, 4 & 5.1 are clear to amber. Stupid regulations.
@@RustysMustangGarage yeah may have changed it I remember when on my friends team they used dot 5 and it was navy blueish might have been purple but was a long time ago that's still cool though

Exactly, as soon as he said that it doesn’t flow with the nozzle submerged so it kind of useless, I said he’s doing it wrong
Beat me to it... a year ago...👍

I am happy to hear it helped you out. Thanks for watching!
Shop wanted 200$ to bleed my pt cruiser brakes so i ordered this machine and waited an extra day from amazon. Money well saved
Thank you.
Ordered this Thanks!

I bought the one that pumps into the master but I feel like none of the caps I bought fit anything. Ha

Harbor Freight in the USA and Princess Auto in Canada. Other stores have them too as well as Amazon.
What psi did you run the bleeder?
I have the regulator usually set between 80 to 100psi. Great question!

Thank you so much for this video!! Thank you
You are very welcome Jerry.

Make sense. Yes, mine still is working well. Used it last month.
My shop wanted $140 to bleed my brakes.
I got my kit for $25.
It will pay for itself with the first wheel 😝
You got a great price on that kit. Good for you!
Same here
If you understand brakes and how to change em get a few of those and a few helpers. Its good money.
I was told 250 to bleed all 4 brakes and they would've used the machine also
Do you have to pump the brakes after your done or before ?and do you do it with the car turned on or off?
No need to have the car running. The idea of the unit is not to have to pump the brakes to bleed them.
I ended up pre pumping before and after each line. just because it'll be your foot pumping to stop the car. The machine does its job..its a great tool
You should have used the suction hose to empty the brake fluid reservoir before adding new fluid.
will this work on a brand new brake system that never had fluid in it?
It should be the same assuming the master cylinder has been primed. I have done it on empty systems.
great thanks so much

Good video
Get a set of gt40 v8 explorer heads and put bigger sbc valves in them. Mill them down to 52-54cc easily hit your horse power goal
Why music 😢?
how do u take the black cap off?
What is that blue Brake Fluid stuff? I've never seen it before. Is it better than dot 4 Brake fluid?
It is ATE 200. It out performs most fluids out there for street cars.
that hose end deal is worthless....just use the hose...also... pull the bleeder out first wrap it with plumbers silicone tape , then re-insert it... until it stops, re-open it.... the vacuum won't pull air around the threads anymore
Clean Eagle Talon 1GB. Something rare to find these days. :)
How much do you want for that Eagle Talon though
I actually am not the owner.
The bottle that goes on top of brake reservoir. Doesn't that bring air in if it not close?
The brake reservoir is open to atmosphere and if there is any air in the bottle it rises to the top when the bottle empties into the reservoir. Remember it’s a reservoir that holds the fluid for the brake system. The bottle is filling the reservoir just like you do when you had brake fluid to it.

That's dot 5 since it's blue should be silicone based
It looks like ATE Super Blue DOT 4 Fluid.
