Brian and Margie,

Thanks for posting these. I wish I had them over the weekend, though, as my ineptitude witht he Mightvac resulted in me using a whole big bottle of fluid and royally hacked me off...

I'm ordering some tomorrow...


You'll LOVE these things. Just be sure not to pump the Master dry... You start get all excited about how easy it is and all of a sudden hear a big slurping sound.... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

Well, my favorite parts house will have them for me to pick up this afternoon. My only question is...how do you know the air is all out if no one's down there watching it? I mean, does a tree really fall in the forest if no one is around to see it? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I'll be installing mine tomorrow when I put in my front s/s brake lines. I'll post back on how easy they are to use.

The bleeders worked GREAT! 10 minutes to bleed all four corners after introducing air into all of them. 5-7 pumps of the pedal is enough to expel all air from each corner even when the MC reservoir was empty in the beginning from changing out brake lines. Thanks again for posting them!

Apparently some of you are using the Russel bleeders and enjoy it. I'll have to keep those bleed screws in mind. The MityVac seemed to do alright once I got a tight-fitting hose and some grease around the fitting.
