Brake bleeding sequence

Come to the dark side

 

I'll get there ... eventually.

 

This does the same thing as motive unit, ingenious use of pressure. I like your style. Totally stealing for field repairs

 

The adapter I made for Toyotas has a hose clamp that snugs it to the reservoir rim. More than 5-7 psi on the gauge and it will pop off. The a body mc has to have the adapter c clamped to it to work properly, even the factory motive unit , the chains do not allow a seal.

 

I'm pretty sure the hydraulic pressure in a typical automotive brake system is in the high hundreds, perhaps even 1000 psi. The seal between the reservoir and the master cylinder, however, is typically only at atmospheric pressure, so I would think that would be the most vulnerable. But there's no way you're blowing a seal in the master cylinder or downstream with a pressure bleeder.

 

Not the same thing. The Motive blooeder - and hey, I get to flex something I learned this week! - actually feeds brake fluid into the MC also. I guess you should still check between bleeds, but basically, it'll keep refreshing the reservoir with fresh fluid as you bleed.

 

That's the main seal I was thinking that would go before the plastic reservoir popped (depending on condition/ cracks). But I agree; I've never used a pressure bleeder, but if I did, I would use a regulator if it didn't have one built in.
