These brake bleeder pots work great. Fast, efficient and easy to use. Just never over pressurize. I find 4 PSIG worked perfectly. Low pressure keeps air from being trapped in the fluid. There is a bladder in the pot, but the instructions still
warn you to use low pressure.
Post script.
Remember to retract brake adjusters on the front center plane brakes before bleeding.
two key issues, if using silicone fluid and you should be, I would worry about the agitation of pressure bleeders getting air in it. It tajes six months sitting still in can for it to get out .
Anyone who says silicone causes a soft pedal has caused their own problem . you cannot even pour it into master , that makes bubbles . you can use a trough like deal to slowly add it . And manual bleeding works perfectly in slow small steps
. I do not think you save much time net of screwing with fitting a pressure bleeder and you rusk air with silicone
With Ron on that .
Second after many tomes early on
with silicone still getting soft pedal etc after multiple bleeding sessions , decided to think about it carefully .
Air will always rise up , — so (under slight pressure ) crack the fittings highest up on any given line after a few days sitting ,,especially highest point at rear axle , and fronts at frame if line routing makes an inverted U .
if restoring you might slightly reroute lines so air can go up into master or fitting and out . In that regard , pre bleeding master seems a waste of time it cannot “ trap air” due to physics of it .I do not do it , best you can say it does
no harm A ritual , like leaving fluid in moonlight ( hey it always worked for me )
It is made to let air out every time you stroke it .. … why you see the little jets
However on some cars they coil the lines , unbelievably the coil often has a horizontal axis , all the upper loops will hold air (!!) Dumb , factory or not.
if coiling lines , make axis vertical like a still for the same reasons , so sir can rise and get out via master.
Ymmv , avoid experts whose advice makes no sense to you
