DIY Pressure Bleeder for Brakes

[Fastbird]

Just picked up all this today, total investment was around $36 but it can be had for cheaper. I'll get to that later.



Essentially this is going to mimic a Motive Bleeder but for cheaper, and more versatility. I'm considering adding the fittings and a regulator to put it on an air compressor too so you can just pressurize and hold xx psi and bleed/flush at will.

More to come as I assemble. Obviously I'm intent on doing brake work in the next few days.

I did the same thing on the V when I did a bunch of brake work. I needed to use some hose clamps on the resivor cap to get it to seal. Only thing I did different was add a pressure gauge to the bottle to watch it but I was able to do two calipers before the pressure ran out.

I built one of these for when I did my C5 conversion. Made flushing the brakes a piece of cake.

I'd like to see how this progresses...would ya mind posting some step by step pictures of your build? I have so many vehicles in my stable now that I need some speed on minor maintenance jobs.

I actually have it done. Will post up some pics a little later today.
