Description of πŸ”§ Motive Products 0117 Ford/Import Power Bleeder with 3-Tab Design - Black Label

Motive Products Power Bleeder kits use pressurized brake fluid to force air and old fluid out of your brake lines. Just pour clean fluid into the pressure tank, attach the power bleeder cap to your fluid reservoir and pressurize the system using the built-in hand pump and pressure gauge. The adapter in this kit fits most Ford products from the mid 1980 thru present. Also fits many Japanese imports made by Mitsubishi, Subaru and Nissan in addition to some Korean imports such as Kia and Hyandai. Made from custom machined aluminum.

Worked great. For the first test, the brakes were 100% bled.

After years of bleeding the brakes the old fashioned way in my home garage, I finally took the plunge and bought one of these. Worked great. The brakes were 100% bled for the first test drive. That was on a 2004 Subaru WRX.

Pros
  • The adapter in this kit fits most Ford products from the mid 1980's to present.
Cons
  • Volume

Good performance, pump needs improvement

Good performance, makes it easier to bleed the brakes. The pump could use some improvement, had to play with it a bit to make it build pressure. The aluminum adapter is excellent, I had no trouble installing it on my Ford's master cylinder which I've read about elsewhere.

Pros
  • Simply pour clean fluid into the pressure tank, fit a vent plug to the fluid tank and pressurize the system with the built in hand pump and pressure gauge.
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

Ideal for changing brake fluid by one person.

Great for one person brake fluid changes. I wish the rubber hose had a swivel on the connector for easy connection. Otherwise, it's a very solid tool. Comes with an extra rubber seal for the fluid reservoir adapter. It may not look any different than the one already installed, but it is a different size so you may need to replace it if you are having trouble fitting it to your tank. I wasted time calling Motive to find out.

Pros
  • Motive Products Power Bleeder Kits use pressurized brake fluid to force air and old fluid out of the brake lines.
Cons
  • Problem

Great product but no manufacturer customer service

I purchased this Motive Products 0117 (Ford/Import) Black Label Power Bleeer from Hoerr Racing Products who promptly shipped my order which actually arrived a day earlier than expected. I went with the Black Label Bleed Kit, which includes an upgraded aluminum brake reservoir adapter based on the negative reviews of the stock plastic adapter. The aluminum adapter is definitely of higher quality, but extreme caution is required when attaching the aluminum adapter to the plastic tank in order not

Pros
  • Made from custom machined aluminum.
Cons
  • Empty
