I think it's called a Phoenix Injector and you hook it up to the bleeder screw of any caliper. Then you inject brake fluid through it until all the air is pushed through your system and out the master cylinder.

Anyone ever use this?

 

never heard of that, wouldn't it push all the air into the master, requiring you to then take the master off and re-bench bleed it?

I'm not keen on the idea of injecting the brake fluid into the system via a caliper/wheel-cylinder. Along with what //<86TA>\\ mentioned, what do you do when the M/C starts over flowing?

Have to be real careful with brake fluid, it is a great paint remover, and attracts moisture which promotes corrosion.

I like using a catch jar and a mity-vac to vacuum bleed the brakes. Quick, easy, and effective.

I guess (don't know for sure), that it only takes a small amount of fluid to push those air bubbles out the master cylinder.

I've used a mity-vac too, but some people say that you'll get a better "bleed" the old fashioned way - with a helper pressing the brake pedal. Any opinions on that?

 

problem is the master is on a angle upward, so it doesnt matter how much fluid you push or pull through it, the air will never leave. That why you have to bench bleed it. So if you push the air up into the system from the bleeder screws, its going to getting the master and stay there. Unless im missing something here.

the vacuum bleeders work great, its all i've ever used
