Brake bleeding kit review
Hey all,
As always, this is my go to forum site for support, feedback and suggestions. Latest video has been uploaded where I have used the kit Venhill were kind enough to give me to bleed my brake lines with one hand! I have some videos in the pipeline but as always I would welcome suggestions for future videos.

Re: Brake bleeding kit review
Nice video, looks like a nice piece of kit.
Brake bleeding is a job I loathe, this kit looks like making the job a lot easier. Are there any special measures required for doing ABS equipped brakes? Once upon a time I used fluid from an opened container. On topping up the master cylinder I could see the fluid was corrupted and no good. Rather than flush dud fluid through the system I decided to syphon it out. I can attest that not only is brake fluid bad for paintwork, it tastes awful. So always use fresh fluid from a sealed container.... and don't use old fluid for mouthwash... |

Re: Brake bleeding kit review
Seekers post is a good idea Tamsen
**I discovered the pleasure of a vacuum brake bleeding kit yesterday, slightly different as mine uses compressed air to pull the vacuum but great job and nowhere near as time consuming |
