I bought something similar to this a while back. I don’t remember if it was on amazon or eBay. But it looks pretty close to this. They have other options on amazon too.

Lol oops I didn’t see those other posts. For some reason all the posts were out of order on my Tapatalk app and it looked like the previous post was from March.

I have one of those bottles but the gasket is a little leaky. Let me know if anyone is interested

Jsolo · 02-10-2020, 08:24 PM

Which gasket, the part that seals to the bottle or the reservoir? I know they sell gaskets to the latter, probably to the former too. Mine is about 8 years old, still works well.

Motive Power Bleeder Kit 0107 comes with the plastic adapter and 0117 comes with the machined adapter.

The adapters can be purchased individually as well if you already have the bleeder pump. The 1107 adapter is plastic and the 1117 is machined aluminum.

I prefer the machined aluminum cap

Hi guys, I am preparing to proceed with the brake fluid.

Unfortunately, there is not available the Power bleeder 0117, 1107 or 1117 in my country. However, I've seen that there are differents brake bleeders with different adapter sizes in the cap.

Do you know what size is the diameter of your Power bleeder to buy one with these dimensions?

Also I saw the most common cap sizes are 45.5mm, 45mm, 43mm

Thanks a lot for your time!

I tried bleeding mine, I bought the 0117 Black Label Power Bleeder, but could not get it to hold pressure

It would go up to 10psi then slowly leak back down. Is 0117 the correct adapter? OP says 0117, but I see some saying they used 1117. This is the one I bought:

That's the correct one. The bleeder is 0117, the adapter is 1117 as noted in the Amazon link you posted.

From Motiv:
https://www.motiveproducts.com/produ...-prong-bleeder

And it's cheaper on Motive's site BTW.

Make sure the Oring is in the adapter.
