0108 Late Model GM Compatible Power Bleeder 2-Quart Tank with Hose and Adapter

I saw this tool on an episode of Powerblock TV. I ended up taking my 98 Saturn SL2 to the dealer for the last rear brake job because I didn't want to go through the hassle of recruiting someone to help pump the brakes. (It cost me 540.00 of which 400.00 was for labor!) When I discovered that my rear wheel cylinders were leaking again, I knew it was time to get this tool. Since the brake fluid was dark colored and probably very old, I planned to flush the system rather than just bleeding it. I felt this bleeder would suit this perfectly. After reading other reviews, I decided to do one modification. I installed a metal tire valve stem on the tank. (I'm not recommending that anyone should do this, this was done just for my personal use.) Instead of using the hand pump to pressurize the tank, I planned to use the built in air compressor on my battery jump starter. (I finally got to make good use of it since it was worthless as far as jump starting cars, but that's another story.) Since I planned on using the "dry" method, I could use the schrader valve to relieve pressure in the tank, rather than unscrewing the cap. The cap that goes on the master cylinder is specifically made for my car type and not universal, so it fits on nice and tight, no leaks. An extra gasket for the cap was included. The gauge goes up to 30 psi but it is recommended that you don't exceed 20 psi. I kept it between 10-15 psi to be on the safe side. It was more than enough pressure to push the brake fluid through the system. The air compressor in my jump starter pressurized the tank slowly enough so that it wouldn't accidentally over pressurize the tank. Since I did employ the "dry" method, I had to refill the master cylinder and make sure the fluid level didn't get too low. (If it does, you'll be sorry!) It took around four refills per wheel since I was flushing the system rather than just bleeding it. To me, this small hassle was better than the clean up and wasting of brake fluid associated with employing the "wet" method. The schrader valve worked as I had planned, and it was easy to relieve the tank pressure before refilling the master cylinder. This was the easiest brake bleeding job that I have ever done. I'm almost (I said almost!) looking forward to the next bleeding job! The bleeder is very sturdily built and worked as advertised. My only regret is that I didn't discover it sooner!

I rarely write reviews, but this thing worked beautifully! Upgraded calipers and brake lines on my car and this allowed me to do a complete fluid flush and bleed on all four wheels by myself in about 30 minutes. Brakes feel great now! Had a very very small leak where the 2 hose pieces screw together. Was going to put some teflon tape on the brass connectors, but wasn't sure if it would adversely react with the hydraulic fluid. I ended up just wrapping a rag around it and continued. The cap seemed to seal well to the reservoir with no leaks and held pressure well. If you are doing a full fluid change, remove as much old fluid as you can from the reservoir first, then refill with the new fluid prior to hooking up the pump system. This will save time during the bleeding process. Also, make sure to add at least 2 pints of fluid to the pump to make sure the master cylinder does not run dry. I used about 2.5 pints total of new fluid to completely flush and bleed my brake system. Any extra can be poured back into the original containers, but as the hydraulic fluid is hygroscopic, I wouldn't keep it for an extended period of time. Overall, this saved a lot of time and was extremely easy to use. Clean up was very easy with denatured alcohol. I highly recommend this product.

Borrowed the pump from a friend and had to order this adapter. All new brakes, lines, M/C, I mean everything. A lot of air in that truck. Going to bleed it again before the cold spell hits again. I despise STL weather.. Wish me luck..Revised: worked like a champ. I bled them twice. Glad I'm slow at returning tools, because a new wheel cylinder blew(big name brand) so I get to do it over again. To boot, my Toyota brakes went out 2/10/2024 and they don't odder a adapter just the whole kit so I'll have to do it the old fashioned way-2 people. I got spoiled. Love this product nonetheless. Might just buy my own.. Monday is going to be in the 60's so it's a two vehicle day. Better than the -4 the other day. Again, wish me luck..

Fit good but cap for master cylinder was hard to get on tight. But after it was secure it worked great. I had absolutely no brake pedal and wasn't able to get any pedal no matter how much pumping and bleeding I did. After connecting the Motive Power Bleeder I was able to bleed all the brake cylinders and at the same time get air out of the ABS valve. I pumped it up to 15 psi and turned the key on and off to cycle the ABS cylinder. Then I opened the bleeder on the farthest brake cylinder and a lot of air came out. I turned the key on and off again and opened the bleeder again. I checked the brake pedal and I had good pedal. I thought, well I have 15 psi on the system so certainly I would have pedal. So I released the pressure and checked the pedal and it was really good. After only two bleeds. I put pressure back on and repeated the process for the rest of the wheels.

I was doing a routine brake flush on a 2008 Silverado, and could not manage to get all the air out of the system using the old two-person, "step-on-the-brake-and-open-the-bleeder" method. I first tried installing speed bleeders (with built-in one-way valve), but those too still let air in the system when brake pedal pressure was released. I finally caved and bought this, and it was AMAZING. It worked perfectly the first time, and I had the brakes bled in almost no time. No awful brake fluid everywhere, no yelling "Brake on, brake off" for 20 minutes. It was quite fun to sit there and watch all the bubbles get expelled with no theatrics. This tool has turned one of my least favorite car maintenance tasks into a quick, pleasant job. I will definitely be buying other adapters to fit other makes as needed.

Used it on a 2000 Oldsmobile used great no leaks from the seal Gave me two seals to use a thicker one and smaller one I went with the small one it worked fine only thing i recommend is use Teflon tape around the copper fittings they will leak under pressure

This product makes brake bleeding so simple & easy by 1 person.

La comodità.

This is a wonderful piece of equipment. Makes the job. Easy. Only beef is that the cap did not fit the aftermarket Raybestos master cylinder. Had to buy the universal adapter. Take the adapter cap with you if you are buying replacement master cylinder to make sure it fits.

Was exactly what I wanted and did exactly what I needed - recommended
