Just got the Phoenix Injector (brake bleeding tool) in the mail!!

I've got one word for this thing: Cool. I bought the V12 model, and it looks like it'll cure all my brake bleeding headaches. This thing actually comes with an adapter to pressure bleed the master cylinder DIRECTLY! It can also do a ton of other stuff (ABS brakes, RFI bleeding, bench bleeding, etc)... looks like it's worth the cost.

I'll let you guys know on Tuesday... I'll be putting the GM recall kit into my rear disc brake calipers (axle = 1984 trans am's 3.73/posi/disc). I can't wait to get a firm pedal... it's been a while!

[edit] Oh, if anyone's interested in checking it out, it's at http://www.brakebleeder.com !

it sucks always having to have someone around to pump the brakes. you found the solution. My dad and i have to bleed the spitfire's brakes after every race session. Bleeding the brakes is often overlooked but it makes such a huge difference!

Looks cool. I agree it sucks having to have a helper to bleed brakes, which is why I got those Speed Bleeders from Summit. They made it much easier, but sometimes I wonder (as I often do when something gets "too" easy).

I've had one of those for 1 year now, and i love it. It works killer when doing RFI on LS1 hydraulics after the drill mod.
