I am just about to bleed out my whole new brake system. I have heard a lot about the V12 injector from some of you guys in the States. Is it worth me shipping it to the UK?
Does the m/c have to be bench bled if you use it?

Any help is appreciated.
Andy.

 

You already know my answer... it's awesome!! I wish I bought it years ago. Even had fun when I replaced my dad's blown out brake hoses (reminding everyone again: if you haven't replaced those hoses yet, do it today!)...

1. used hose-crimpers to pinch old hose in the middle
2. Disconnected caliper
3. attached new hose to caliper
4. reverse-bled caliper with phoenix injector- injected fluid thru bleeder, with hose pointing upward- no air in caliper or hose
5. Removed old hose from steel car line
6. attached new hose to steel line
7. reverse-bled caliper, forcing fluid in thru bleeder screw; air rises, so once I saw bubbles/new fluid in the reservoir, I closed the bleeder and removed the tool

Done, 10 minutes, no need to press a brake pedal or get brake fluid squirting anywhere.

I think I told you but http://www.toolparadise.com has the V12 for less then from http://www.brakebleeder.com . You still have to bench bleed the m/c but it's foolproof. Note that I haven't bled the m/c yet with it... one of these days I will. Brakes are great, no need to mess with anything

One day I'll pick up a mityvac just for flushing the system (sucking all dirty fluid out) and for testing vacuum, but I'll never use one to bleed brakes.

 

it was hard to spend the money when i got mine, but after i got it i wish i'd bought one 20 years ago. it's the best way to bleed brakes that i've seen or used.
