Bleeding Brakes


Flukey

Recommended Posts

Wondering if any of you guys have used the Motive Products brake power bleeder that is sold on IPD.

It looks like it makes it easy and you can do it by yourself. Anybody have comments

I think it'd be nice to have, though I still do mine the old fashion way. If you anyone has a 240 with dual brake circuits it's definitely worth it 'cause there are way too many bleeder valves.

If you want to save some $$, the Poi made one out of a garden sprayer with a junk-yard master cylinder resevoir cap epoxyed on to the tip.

messy? how?

the motive power bleeder is one of the most helpful tools i own

you can also get them from FCP, most likely cheaper but i haven't compared prices

FYI: bleed order is LF RF LR RR

seriously Gary, how is it "messy"

These Motive power bleeder's really are the cat's ass. Fits my Kid's Saab, too

Travis, did you read the downloadable 850 service manual? It gives the bleeding order as LR or RR, RF LF

page 1 of the section "brake system"

Yes that is order you do it in. Always start with the one farthest away and end with the closest one. I got the Motive bleeder the other weekend. Im hoping to get my SS lines and some new fluided in there maybe next week. I will post up when I'm done.

didn't read it however the general concensus on the forum is front to rear (not that i'm sure it makes all that much if any difference)

i think Rich mentioned something about the order in the manual a while ago
