Brake bleeding tips

your welcome

I tried the Mitymite and it would not hold a vacuum. I bought THIS instead.

I will be trying it out today.

The unit in the demo looks like it should work well on a bike because our brake systems are very straight forward. It looks really easy to use. Please give us a review after you use it. I wouldn't think it would work so well on a modern car with an ABS electric brake fluid pump. On those you must run the ABS pump to purge the old fluid from the pump, and of course the pump pushes the fluid down toward the bleeder. I noticed the demo was on an old brake system. Ed

i am having issues getting a good seal on my brake bleeder screw with the attachments that came with my mityvac... what do people use? just clear tubing that fits snug?

Did my dragbike this week with a $6.00 Auto Zone bleeder. It has a small magnet which sticks on the frame and came with a variety of adapters and tubes. Easy deal on the front brake as the bleed nipple is up top but the rear caliper is underslung and had to take it off to get the fluid & air bubbles going through to the bleeder catch bottle.

Once done I had working brakes again,but the rear brake handle was going right to the handlebars even though the brakes worked. Did the old rubber band trick and closed the handle to the bars overnight. This morning it felt just like it always did and has good back pressure. Don't know how this works, but it does!
