Title: Has anybody used this brake bleeding kit before?
Post by: LowlifeDubber on 19 January 2011, 15:20: Ive just bought this brand new and it got delivered today with no destructions :rolleyes:
I have a rough idea how it works but can't find any info on the web.

It will be handy for when the missus isnt here and i want to bleed on me own.

Im guessing it works on a vacuum and you press the trigger on the gun to suck the fluid through the bleed nipple.Although im not sure and dont fancy blowing the top off the master cylinder :grin:

Post by: LowlifeDubber on 19 January 2011, 21:48: Its via a compressor and runs at about 70psi i think it works on a vacuum,sucking out the fluid through the bleed nipple.But i want to make sure 1st as i dont want to blow a load of air into the system. :grin:
