Better than vacuum bleeder valve

I won't lie I'm a fan of high speed bleeder screws. However, I can't use them on my 2012 STI's aluminum calipers without expecting a leak, so I use factory bolts. Wanting to work as independently as possible, I had previously purchased a vacuum ventilator powered by an air compressor. Could never get it to work properly. Instead the prime mover bleed valve uses positive pressure, worked great. Sometimes people say they don't have a perfect bleed feel so they do the main bleed job and then do the last 10% with a helper, but I didn't find it necessary. The large volume of the tank was helpful in that you don't have to get up to fill the reservoir as with traditional pumping methods.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Not sure
