I bought this brake bleeder from Amazon and can't believe I didn't get one sooner.
I considered one that uses an air compressor but I didn't want to add moisture to the system or have the air line in the way and tugging on the tool under the hood. I'm glad I went with the pump version.


I completely flushed the brake fluid by myself and it's never been a cleaner or easier job.

You simply pour brake fluid into the pressure reservoir of the tool, Use the turkey baster to drain the brake reservoir, attach the pressure cap and pump the tank up to around 10-15 PSI. Took about 40 pumps to bring it to pressure and I only had to pump it again after opening it to add more fluid. I underestimated how much fluid the van holds so next time I'll add more from the start. It probably holds enough to do the whole van or close to it. Nice to not worry about sucking the reservoir dry. Obviously you have to leave some air space in there to compress.

When you open the bleed valve the fluid streams out steadily until you close it. When it starts coming out clean you close it and move to the next one. None of the open close, open close 100 times. No partner pumping and holding the brakes.
