Ok so now I can't get the whole line to fill with fluid. Is that normal? I'm at almost 14psi and it's holding pressure. Will it just go when I open the bleeder? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...58fa3e80f3.jpg

Now I can't get it to reach 14 psi. It's holding steady just where it is but won't go up any higher. And I can't get the lines to completely fill with fluid.

If you're concerned about the contaminant, depressurize the system, disconnect the adapter tube and reflush with denatured alcohol. Should only take a few minutes including drying time.

Just bleed my brakes today with the Motive Power Brake Bleeder after the Z took a 6 month slumber. Instructions were great, I followed them step by step.

The Only hiccup was the brass connector between the main tube to the bleeder and the reservoir cap. It started leaking on me. Next time I'm going to add some silicone tape around it.

Thank you AK370Z!

Did this today using the red label Motive tool (cheaper one with the plastic adapter)... easy peasy. I loaded the container with 2qts, but I ended up only using one.

Now - where the heck can I find replacement bleeder caps? All of my outter ones were rotten or MIA.

And unfortunately, shipping cost from Z1 probably would have been $20.00. :rofl2:

Didn't even think of looking there. Even cheaper. :tup:
