[Shotimes] electronic brake bleeder

[Ron Porter]

I can easily flush the system with a quart/liter can of fluid. Less gets
used using ATE in blue or yellow, as you can easily see when the new fluid
is coming through.

CDOC has one of the best deals on ATE:

I have also heard that, if you buy in quantity (a case or more?) that the
price may drop below the $8.75/liter at the checkout, but I forget the
details.

Okay, I just ordered a pressure bleeder.  Gonna be "Bleedin' Brakes R Us"
around here soon.

If I buy brake fluid in the larger bottles, how many does it take to do one
car?  To do the whole fleet, I should probably buy a case anyway...

Thanks for the advice.

Don't think the unit can replicate someone pumping the brake pedal for a
flush!!

Once I go the vacuum bleeder a few years ago, I couldn't believe that I
waited that long before getting away from the two-person-pump-the-pedal
operation, and the pressure bleeder works better yet....and doesn't need a
compressor.

OTOH, It appears that the abs pump could be left running for awhile, with
the solenoids open, and it would move fluid through the system.....sorta
making an automated bleeding process. Wonder if the abs pump is up for
running for an extended period.
