Motive Products 0102 Classic Car and Boat Trailer Power Bleeder 2-Quart Tank with Hose and Adapter

I bought this power bleeder specifically to bleed the brakes on a 1956 Chevrolet with the stock master cylinder. The adapter screwed right into the top of the master cylinder, and an O ring is used to seal the top. You need at least a quart of brake fluid in the Motive container, and perhaps a little more if the brake system is completely dry. The plastic line to the top of the Motive adapter is long, so I pumped up the pressure bottle slowly until the brake fluid was near the top of the clear plastic line, and then screwed it onto a nearly-topped off master cylinder. The master cylinder was not primed prior to doing this. You continue to pump the pressure bottle up to 10 psi on the gauge and then go to the farthermost wheel cylinder and start bleeding there first. You have to keep an eye on the 10 psi in the plastic pressure vessel, and pump it back up between wheel cylinders. Bleeding is not as fast as having someone pump up the brakes the old fashioned way, but it is considerably less messy. When you see a change in fluid color (rusty brown to clear), you're done with that wheel cylinder. I used a towel over the front fender to protect it from any line leaks (Motive plastic bottle to master cylinder) but there weren't any. I would suggest pumping the master brake cylinder once or twice while bleeding to make sure all the air comes out. I liked this complete unit (with the adapter) because other folks sell these separate for quite a bit more. This is definitely a one man product.

Did the job that it was to do well. Just put the power bleeder on the master cylinder and pump it up. Go to the wheel cylinder and let out the air. After one bleeding job, I highly recommend this product.

This product works great. Some brake systems are stubborn to bleed but this bleeder got the job done.

Very easy to use and works as advertised. I used it to bleed the brake system on my '57 T-Bird.
