DIY: How to Bleed Your Brake Fluid Using Motive Power Bleeder 0117 (AK370Z)

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!
