Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Motive Products 0101 Round Universal Power Brake System Bleeder by Jake Hill

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Universal adapter worked great

1. Flush cup/universal adapter worked great on a 2004 Honda Accord. brake fluid on the top and bottom of the hemispherical adapter rubber gasket, 2) Make sure the contact surface with the master cylinder reservoir cap is clean and smooth, 3) Position the gasket exactly in the middle/parallel to the hole, and then install Carefully place the cap on / mark the orientation cap. 4) Use two 12" Irwin compression bars on top of adapter cap and bottom of tank. I tightened the clamps until the rubber on the jaws tightened and then stopped, carefully maintaining the previously mentioned position of the cover and gasket. The system handled 15 psi with no leaks during the fluid pressure test and when brake fluid/bleed pressure was applied. To minimize the mess in case of a leak I put towels under the master cylinder and on top of the adapter.2. Also used a bleeder with a Power Probe BA10 Adapter on my 2011 Tacoma with a VSC TRAC braking system (ABS components do not allow the use of a universal adapter chain system or clamps). Worked great on this car too. Due to the ease of installing and removing the BA10, I went with the 'dry' method (releasing the pressure, removing the adapter and adding brake fluid to the master cylinder rather than filling the bleeder reservoir with brake fluid).3. Also based on the advice of others you should consider replacing the hoses when they are a few years old to avoid messy loosening when using the 'wet' method. Even if you clean the hose with alcohol to remove brake fluid residue, I've seen a few reports of the hose bursting when it was a few years old. In order not to forget it, I marked with a marker when the hose on the tank needs to be changed.
