Motive Power Bleeder. Cheap and Efficient. I just borrowed one from a friend and now I bought one for myself. Simple, one person operation.
I had been using Russell Speed Bleeder screws for the past few years but this is much easier.

love stacy & his quick tips!
but i would just buy speed bleeders, get some 4DOT Fluid & call it a day.
All you do with speed bleeders if you don't know. is open them up.. pump the pedal. BUT the vaccum system I think is worth the money because you might need the vaccuming for other things, aswell as the brakes. & works on multiple cars. But personally I don't do that much where it would beneft the price tag over the 15$ bleeders

Thanks for the input. I am looking for something a little more that just bleeding. I was just looking at these to make flushing the hole system a little bit easier.
I had a metal Might Vac pump, but something got into the bore and now it doesn't seel up (create a vacuum), probably the worst $50 I ever spent!

you're probably faster bleeding all wheels for an hour. Hah, that's a good way to flush the system out.
How to Change Brake Fluid - YouTube
Very easy to do.
Takes 2 people.
Start at the RR then LR then RF then LF.
Just bleed it like normal except you dont have to pump the brakes. Just have someone hold the brakes down, crack the bleeder and then tighten it when they hit the floor. When they bring their foot up the system is still full with no air in it. Do this till the RR is coming out with clean fluid then move to the LR then RF then LF. Make sure you keep adding new fluid to the Master Cylinder.

Yeah, I have done regular bleeding, just don't want to have holler at the wife while I am bleeding the brakes.
I do like the kit that you can put X amount of fluid in, and the put in your reservoir to keep the MC from running low, or dry!
Edit: looks like the Motive Power bleeder does this!
I am going to check this out!

Not to hijack thread but I painted my calipers and removed them from the lines. They leaked a little over time but can I just reconnect them and fill up the reservoir or do I need to bleed them? Never bled brakes before so I'm kind of a noob
You will have to bleed them and get new crush washers for the brake lines.
Get the Motive Power Bleeder and be done. You don't have to putz with the Speed Bleeders, and, as stated it is a one man job. You can flush the entire system easily, and bleeding it takes just a few minutes. Anyone that says otherwise has never tried it.
You can also gravity bleed the system but it takes a long ass time but the flush is the best cause it forces out the fluid and that cleans the system better.
