As I was working on the break system, it looked to me as if the system was "open" ie, if you do not press on a pedal, air bubbles up to the break fluid reservoir, and if you have the bleed nipple op

You might get half the air out this way but certainly not it all. There are bound to be some high points where air will collect and will not move unless forced out. One person bleed kits are quite ch

I just tried the Mityvac system tonight on the 70 Impala. WHAT A PIECE OF CRAP!! Get a 12 pack and a friend. Much better, and less frustrating. Brad Check out the new British Cars Forum: http://www.t

I'm not sure what your problem is with the mityvac is, but you say you are getting bubbles? How about brake fluid? The bubbles are not a problem at all. As it is just air getting in around the thread

The 3 right angle fittings for the bleeder, do not fit. Thus, no seal, thus, no vacuum, thus, not work. The right angle fittings are hard plastic, not rubber, so if it won't fit, it aint gonna fit. I

I always just used the silicon/rubber what ever it is line that came with the kit and connected to the bleeders...never have used the "plastic tees". I think those are for pulling vacume on a line or

I have a mighty vac, I use all the time, it works best for me to either just put the tube over the bleeder, (no fitting) or use one of the pointy ones, and stick it IN the bleeder Brad, If I can make

the bubbles are only introduced after the nipple anyway, all you want to really do is get the fluid strong in the wheel cylinder and back, air in the nipple wont matter, and it wont back up into the

attach the vacuum line to the bleeder, pump vacuum, crack bleeder, pump a little more, close bleeder when the jar is about half full. Refill the M/C. You are done. I've done if for years with the che
