Hi all..

I have posted in the general area as I did not see the brake specific forum..

Can any one recommend a decent power brake bleeder? I have always pumped the brake pedal but would like to try a power unit.. Ive seen that sealy and motive both do systems..

Appreciate any advice..


Thanks

I've used a Gunson's Eezi bleed for years on quite a few cars & never had any issues.

Hi
Had a few eezi bleed kits and sealing can be a problem as the washers are Mickey Mouse.
Used one on clutch master cylinder and put brake fluid all over the engine bay nice !
Just bought a sealey hand pump pressure bleeder and it didn't work out of the box so really don't have much faith in any of them at the moment.
Good luck with them but actually two man method might be the most reliable!

All the usual tool places sell stuff.

Whether vacuum based or pressure, they'll all be decent.

Even a simple syringe can be very handy, as it allows you to both suck out the bleed nipple, but also if you need to reverse bleed it allows you to push fluid back through the system
