Review on ๐Ÿ”ง BMC Universal Vacuum Pump: Handheld Brake Bleeder Kit Ensuring Efficient Auto Service & Food Canning with Brake Bleeding Tester Set by Anthony Jagers

Exhaust valve tip

I tried the kit on a 1966 Pontiac Lemans. Attachments that need to be connected to the outlet valve were not used on this vehicle. Due to the design of the vehicle at the vent point and the short exhaust valve, the nozzle is mostly useless. Housing, pump, hose(s) and other parts are in order and the functionality is very useful. However, attachments will not function properly on this vehicle. If you could design another bracket that prevents the hose from rotating when the exhaust valve is opened that would be a huge improvement. When you open the outlet valve, the hose also rotates. This stresses the joint and allows air to be sucked in along the valve head/seal and sucking small air bubbles into the fluid flow, making it hard to tell if the fluid bubbles you see are coming from the brake. cylinder or around the nozzle/valve interface. I'm happy to help you figure this out if you'd like to contact me.

Pros
