phoenix systems brake bleeder

Just used their entry level system last night, and WOW! I've never bled brakes that quick and easy, and talk about a pedal. It was like night and day. How many of you guys out there use this product, and what do you think of it?

 

Never used it but if it suits you that's great. After using Speed Bleeders I doubt that I will use anything else.

I got a old air conditioner vacuum pump, I bought at auction for $5, and a catch bottle inline.. no problems.. put the lil rubber vacuum line on bleeder, crack the valve, **** the fluid down the line into the bottle.. when the air bubble stop, you are done with that line.

I used to C clamp a flat plate with regulator and put air on top of the mc.. that blows fluid everywhere and you gotta catch it anyways with a hose.

Heck.. what do I know? I am a hillbilly anyways. NOW.. incompatible brake fluids.. is there a way to test? That **** makes jelly.

 

If you have to bleed a hydraulic clutch the phoenix is the bomb!

The pressure bleed function is fantastic.

 

my first use was unfortunately a non hamb friendly vehicle (88 mitsubishi van), but it works just as easy as the video thats included. so much easier to flush a system too.

 

I'm an auto tech for the U.S.P.S. and we've been using one at work for years.
For LLV mail trucks reverse bleeding the rear brakes is the ONLY way to get the air out of them after opening the system up.
They work great on hyd. clutches too.

 

it's reasonably priced, doesn't take up much space, doesn't talk, argue or do anything other than what you want it too, if it could cook it would be marrying material.........

 

Ditto on the speed bleeders, it don't get any easier. Got them on all my hot rods.

 

I used a Motive bleeder. Same type of thing though. You're right...they work great. I have a car with a clutch/slave cylinder combo that is near impossible to bleed but with the Motive unit it only took a minute or so to do.

 

I think it may be a problem with residual pressure valves but residual valves help the normal bleeding process go smoothly.

 

I just put all new brake lines, and master cylinder on our plow truck at work (2003 GMC 2500).To bleed the brakes in a completly dry system, I took the old brake resivoir cap, drilled a hole in it to screw in an air fitting, filled the resivoir, turned the shop air down to about 6psi, hooked up the air, about 3 minutes later all my bleeders were dripping, tightened them up, bleeding done.
