How to Make a Brake Fluid Pressure Bleeder for under $25

Postby SLCCHEVY [OP] » Apr 25 2012, 3:22pm

Hello everyone!

Here is a Video i recently made showing how to make a pressure bleeder for a Silverado (or any vehicle). This pressure bleeder will be used to completely flush out the brake fluid and replace it with new fluid. This bleeder can be made for under $25 and makes flushing the system very easy and very fast. Enjoy!

great how-to, i made one and used and helped get the air out of the line after repair quickly. only thing i did different was to put quick disconnects on the part that attaches to the cap so you can have an easier time swaping between vehicles. also put a pressure gauge inline to see the amount of pressure on the systems.
