does the job. to Brake Tools

I replaced the power steering pump on our 2002 Mercury Villager and needed this kit to bleed the system. The tapered plug fitted the power steering reservoir perfectly, made a good seal, and easily held an 18" vacuum (note that this kit *does* not include a vacuum pump). It was just what I needed to get the job done properly.

Pros
  • Decent Performance
Cons
  • Doubtful

Works but may need a different adapter

I used it with a power steering pump that didn't have a smooth round hole. This was because the cap screws onto the pump. There were two protrusions on the pump that prevented the adapter from sealing completely. I used plastic wrap to cover the gap and it worked. That issue aside, this product works great with other pumps that don't have these tabs.

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • The list will be long.

Ideal. Also for wide Ford power steering tanks.

I don't know what to expect. But I was deeply impressed. Good construction. And the vacuum cleaner tank was a great replacement for my disused cat vacuum cleaner. I've used it a few times and it's a staple for anyone who makes a lot of racks or pumps. I would say it's a must for those who want to do things right. Turn bleed time into minutes instead of the old lock-to-lock bit.

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Bad experience

Will not fit most power steering pumps

It didn't work with my power steering pump! The largest stop at the largest is only 2 inches. I had to order rubber stoppers and make my own. I'm working on a 2003 Ford Ranger and this kit is useless for that. This kit will only work if you have a SMALL power steering neck to connect to. If the power steering pump connection is 2 inches or less I think it will work. I will be returning it as it doesn't match my other 3 cars! The case was good, although you keep all things together. Pleaseโ€ฆ

Pros
  • good stuff
Cons
  • Can't remember but something happened

Will not fit many Ford vehicles

The universal adapter included in this kit will not fit my 2007 Ford 150. If you have a Ford vehicle you should check with the manufacturer before purchasing. After doing a little research, I found that Ford uses a special adapter for many of their power steering reservoirs, as do some GM products. If you have a Ford, take a look in the tank. It will have a large hole on the top (where the power steering cover will attach) and another smaller hole on the inside. In this case, the adapter willโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Small parts
