Three critical flaws make the job very difficult and messy

There are many parts in this kit but none seem to do the job The syringe is smooth and shiny. This makes a terrible and weak connection to the pipe. Oil enters the fitting under pressure. The hose WILL rupture under pressure, wetting the work area and, if you're lucky, the oil will squirt out of your rotors and pads. 2) Output connectors are very poorly connected to the connector. I had to take pliers to them to avoid air entering the system when pumping the calipers and lever under back pressure. They had to be made very tight to keep them from leaking. The metal is so brittle that the handle on the outside of the connectors is exposed and destroyed. 3) The metal connector on the syringe is not flush with the inner end of the syringe. This allows air bubbles to enter the syringe body around the outlet, which will inevitably seep into the tubing. Constant leaks caused me to try to bleed the brakes 5 times (3 times front, 2 times rear) before I got a good bleed. . The clip on the outside of the outlet fittings is now loose and cannot be tightened enough to ensure a good seal. The set is now in the trash. Lesson learned.

Pros
  • One year trial period
Cons
  • Poor performance
