where can i buy a vacuum bleeder?
 

anyone? i havent really started looking for it yet, so i wanna see where the best place to go would be. i figure itll be easier to bleed my whole brake system that way since i have the compressor now. Then i just gotta read up on how to bleed ABS brakes since the system was completely drained.

I got a nice one from Matco that is air operated. Has a automatic filler as well to keap mast. cyl. topped off. It works excelent. I had my system drained as well when I upgraded brakes and lines.

I used to use a mityvac but I dumped it for one of Motive products pressure bleeders. Have a look at them, they may be a bit more money but bleeding is a dream.

this type?

they are actually i think cheaper than the mityvac setups. I just need something i can bleed my full brake system by myself.

Billy, with that, can I skip bench bleeding the MC?

Yes. That's the one, probably even the same one I have. It will do both brakes and clutches, and it will make it a one man job. I have nothing but positive feedback for mine.

The mityvac thing started to get annoying, especially when I did two brake systems that were completely drained. That's a lot of handle squeezing.

As for skipping bench bleeding, I'm not sure...

That kit is all I would need? No adapters or anything?

I guess I can BB mine...considering that is where it is.... :)

Mine was this one:

MVP-0250 POWER BLEEDER PRO KIT

It comes with three adapters. I haven't used the rectangular adapter yet but I'm pretty positive it will work on two-reservoir "old style" masters.

Looks like I'm buying another tool soon. :)

well the bleeders i was considerign were the type you hook up to an air compressor, so no pumping involved, but the motive one may work regardless. i need to bleed my clutch as well.

This is the one I was talking about Part BB70850K.

you do know they now make a bleader the has a ball/spring in it and releases fluid and does not let air back in they work real well with little sumerged hoses in a cup -- real cheap -- and it works ---- i can hunt up a picture we sell them to the bike guys all the time -- jz

Speed bleeders, with a built in check ball. I've used them too, they are pretty good. But you still have to pump the brakes a lot, and you can't inspect the fluid for bubbles as it flows through the tube when you are alone.

i bought that one myself over the summer and it worked great but i still have to figure out my brake problem......just another thing to my list.

ok you are correct but next time you dont have some one to help you put a clear line ( washer sprayer hose ) on the bleader and the other end into a cup ( clear see through ) submerge the line in fluid ( could be water in cup ) hang from something kneal down and watch using your hand to pump master -- sometimes their is no one else around --- and this is another way to get it done -- jz

Definately go with the pressure bleeder, you won't believe the difference. I had the Mity-Vac and it was OK but kind of a PITA to use. The pressure bleeder really knocks the time down to almost nothing. I would think you would still need to bench bleed the master cylinder, but I amnot 100% sure.
