Post subject:  Best way to Bleed Brake Systems.
A nice little product that I tested out and thought I would share with fellow members.

If you want to do a quality brake system bleed or flush out the old brake fluid with new or better fluid, get yourself one of these.
It is a great little tool and timesaver and really works great. Allows one person to bleed and / or flush an entire brake system properly. Works on ABS systems.
Much better than using the vacuum pump bleed method.
Ordered one and tried it out this weekend and was really impressed with it's quality, operation, and function. I removed most all of the old fluid out of the master cylinder reservoir with a suction bulb first , then refilled reservoir with new DOT 4 brake fluid to flush and bleed.

Motive Products 0113 Power Bleeder,

available online at Motive Products, Amazon, and a few other online locations.

The 0113 PN is for most late model Dodge, Jeep, & Chrysler vehicles. Fits our Jeep Liberty's perfectly.
Other master cylinder adaptors are available for many different applications.
Motive Products has an application guide on their web site.

Hey WW,
That looks so much like a weed spray
Next time I need to bleed brakes, I might try & adapt a weed sprayer to do it.
I am in a bit of a McGyver mood lately.
What pressure do you run in it?

You are very correct and I even thought of going to Lowes and buying a cheap weed sprayer, mount a gauge, but then I would need a cap to mount a fitting in, etc.
So I said what the heck and just purchased the tools with the metal adaptor cap. Got a yard full of Mopars, so I can always use on them as well or one of my customers vehicles.

As to pressure, instructions say 15 psig and that is what I used. Worked perfect! At 15 psig it actually applied the brakes (I tried to turn the wheels just checking).
Fluid came out of bleeder at just the right rate for flushing/bleeding, slow and steady. Not violent like when using the someone pumping pedal and bleeding method.

A big plus for using this type of brake bleeding system, you don't have to depress the brake pedal and risk pressing the master cylinder plunger to the bottom of it's bore which can sometimes cause master cylinder seal damage and / or failure. :BANANA:
