redxxrdr Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Have done the pump/release for 40 years. It is time for the good stuff. Do you have a favorite? I found two on a web search that are metal, and less than $100.00. Actron Brake bleeder and Mytvac Any experience with these? Thanks, Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXSTAR Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 autozone has a good one I think it is 29.00 works good no problem with it. I have used it many times you will like it, Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbird Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Mityvac is all you need, $30, done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flitemdic Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 If you're using it for the bike, Autozone also has one for $6.99 that works like a charm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northman Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Mityvac is all you need, $30, done. +1, and you'll find more than just one use for it, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcrich Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Mityvac for sure. I have found that it does not work well when you have speed bleeders installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harald Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 I really like my Mityvac. Make sure you put some grease around the bleeder fitting threads to stop vacume leaking. Otherwise you'll have to pump continuously to keep the vacume. This isn't a Mityvac problem and would apply to any bleeder you get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
testrider Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Mityvac for sure. I have found that it does not work well when you have speed bleeders installed. But if you have Speed Bleeders you don't need Mityvac, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redxxrdr Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 Thanks for the replies. I plan to still buy the Mityvac shown, even though it is a more industrial model. I have seen rebuild kits for it. I know the speed bleeders work well for brakes. I have had problems using them on my trucks clutch. It is a 30 inch vertical drop from the master cylinder to the bleeder, and I just can't seem to pump fast enough to get all the bubbles out. Another plus for those of us with CRS is the case, which will help keep all the parts together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
