Re: brake bleeder

there are One-Man-Brake Bleeders out there hand held Vacuum ones
will cost You any where from $50 - $200 I bought a $3.00 dollar bottle
sprayer and "modified it to Vacuum fluid" works great... and it can be
done inexpesively very easy to do vid below.

A couple years ago I picked up a (second) hand vacuum pump with the hoses and brake bleeder bottle from Harbor Freight for something like $25.

Re: brake bleeder

I have the exact spray bottle shown in Video Posted exept {lettering on the outside} is
different because its for another country... BUT, same exact
bottle sold in Canada at any dollarama store. for $3.00 only mods you can

see are taking the small plastic end cap found on the outside off the tubing
and squashing it, down on the inside of the tubing and and drilling the brass
looking tip out to a bigger size. quarter inch hose 2 feet long was 70 cents I

mean for $4.00 it extracts fluids like brake, power steering, & clutch fluid.
on the 5 speed manual Civic its a great tool to have around nice part about
it of course is all fluid is collected into the bottle with no Leaks or spills.
" if You use one of these vacumm extractors wash it out afterword
with alchol for next use and that's it.
