Bleeing the brakes 1973 240Z (?)

[Marty Rogan]

Just thought I would throw in my experience for reference. I have had them on my show car for about 5 years. Have had no issues whatsoever. It is very true that you don't want to hamfist them as they WILL break.

I have had them on my race car for about a year and a half. Again, no issues. If you do alot of bleeding, I recommend getting the tube of sealant to re-caulk the threads occasionally. I also recommend the optional clear fluid collection bag.

I bought a 10' section of tight fitting clear tubing and connect it to the collection bag. I can attach it to any corner of the car and watch the fluid flow into the bag, right from the driver's seat. You can easily see when the bubbles stop. This set-up has worked great for me.

I have also put them on all of the other bleeders on the car: master cylinder, and clutch slave.

To each his own, but I like them alot.

Remember to keep an eye on that resevoir! It dosen't take more than acouple good bleed cycles to drain it down and then suck air. . . been there done that. :surprised

Another benefit of a power bleeder. It can go for quite some time without running out of fluid. That's why it's great for changing the fluid in the brake system.
