One of the most important points in this video, ask me how I know, is to leave the master cylinder cap loose!! Otherwise you can pump forever and never get any fluid through the lines! Also, I had much better luck with the little pointed adaptors that just stick in the bleeder. And, I found that a couple rounds of teflon tape on the threads of the bleeder works better than grease, and not as messy. :) Good video and great product! I think I am going to add a magnetic hook on mine for some hands free help. ;)

20 years of use and I never knew what those 2 short clear bottle tubes were used for.

These are nice kits. I've also used it check manifold vacuum for a few years. Thanks for outlining which accessories to use for brake bleeding.

Well, once I’m done bleeding the big brake kit on my 2015 Infiniti Q70L. I will come back and leave you all a review on how it went. I’ve had this mighty vac for a while and purchased it at O’Reilly’s for a great price. I have used it to bleed my clutch on my 2006 Pontiac GTO since I do have a speed bleeder line for the clutch assembly.

The L adapters in the kit do not make a tight seal on the brake bleeder screws; is there another way to remedy this ??? Thanks!!

I have this exact kit, works well but the case that it comes in is poorly made and mine has fallen apart, I wish it came in a better case.

Hi Jeff, you talked about applying grease on the valve. Won't the grease seep in and contaminate the brake fluid?

I bought this tool thinking it may help me. Well, it didn't. I tried all that was suggested, even greasing the bleeder. Nothing worked so I bled the the bike the old school way. Harbor Freight will get it back.

Hi I just recently bought this pump and for whatever reason it is able to pull vacuum if i hold the handle down but when i release the handle the vacuum restores to no-vacuum - not sure what the issue is - i have disassembled and cleaned the entire unit and no signs of brake fluid or debris. Seals all look new as the unit is brand new with the exception of 1 time use which at that time it worked great - but no brake fluid has been in the gun

what pressure should be on the gauge when pulling? You said a little?

Just put a small tie on the bleeder valve

Does this create pressure? I dont need vaccum. I need pressure for leak testing an outboard lower unit at 10psi

The MV8000 unit creates vacuum only. Our MV8500 creates both vacuum and pressure.

I bought one about 15 years ago through an advertisement in the back of a magazine. I tried it multiple times and I couldn’t get it to work. With shipping about $60 wasted. I threw it in the trash can. I’m not making this up.

This needs to include a tight clamp where the hose slips onto the bleeder valve. (Please don't suggest customers go out and find/buy one somewhere.) Nothing I tried -- the suggested grease included -- prevented air from being sucked in between the hose and the bleeder valve. It's now sitting on a shelf, money and time wasted.

What I did was slip the hose onto the bleeder valve and then install a zip tie around it so there is a very tight seal. Hopefully this helps and prevents your tool from just sitting on the shelf as wasted money. Have a good day.

I did that as well, but air still is sucked in via the valve threads. It's why pressure to push out the fluid and air works, and why sucking it out fails.

Should never have to use grease on threads of the bleeding valves, there is good chance the grease residue will get into the the brake lines & will contaminate the brake fluid, a bleeder valve should only be opened at max 1/4 turn only, as for using a hand pump is something I never use I am old school no need for these vacuum pumps.

Don't waste your money. Get speed bleeders for about 18 bucks per pair. I use a 10 buck motorcycle clutch one-way bleeder.. no second person need..

Greasing the threads of the bleed screw has been an old-school method for years to prevent air bleed by of the loose thread. Many have also opted to using a small amount of thread tape or paste instead. any of these options can work to provide added sealing. ~ John
