    Only one man bleeder you need...



    I've had one of these for a while, got it at autozone. Its a vacuum puller/gauge and bleeder. I just used it on my clutch today, and was amazed how great it worked. Its great for also sucking out all the old fluid and getting new stuff in there.

    All you do is open the bleeder screw, have the fitting on there, and just pump the old out and refil the resevoir every few pumps.

    Just thought I would share. BTW it was like 30 bucks.

    for those who are cheap like me, a roll of fish tank clear tubing and a one way check valve in the middle also works perfectly... loop it from the open bleeder back into the reservoir, fluid recirculates while the bubbles bubble out of the top of the res.

    though, clutch fluid gets gross, sucking all new fluid through the line is a good idea. wish i had $30, id get one of those. maybe ill make one with a couple clear lines and a plastic container lol

      me, i'm really cheap. my tools:

      clear tubing to fit over bleeder
      bleeder wrench
      mason jar
      brake fluid or whatever your working on

      i put the hose on the bleeder and put the other end of the hose into the mason jar. I then fill the jar up with new fluid to a level above the end of the hose. i then open the bleeder and get in the vehicle and start pumping. i check the fluid reservoir level every so many pumps and top it off if need be. by have the hose under the fluid level, when you release the pedal, all that can be sucked in is new fluid and NO air! so if you keep pumping, eventually, the fluid in the hose is clear and you can close the bleeder and you are good to go. I haven't tried this on clutches, (normally brakes), but i don't see why it wouldn't work for them too. i had a one way valve bleeder setup, but my ole dodge blew it out. i just replaced it with clear hose the whole way and it worked just as well. Hope this helps someone.
      If you're gonna go, go with a smile!
