Motive Products0108 Late Model GM Compatible Power Bleeder 2-Quart Tank with Hose and Adapter

I saw this tool on an episode of Powerblock TV. I ended up taking my 98 Saturn SL2 to the dealer for the last rear brake job because I didn't want to go through the hassle of recruiting someone to help pump the brakes. (It cost me 540.00 of which 400.00 was for labor!)When I discovered that my rear wheel cylinders were leaking again, I knew it was time to get this tool. Since the brake fluid was dark colored and probably very old, I planned to flush the system rather than just bleeding it. I felt this bleeder would suit this perfectly.After reading other reviews, I decided to do one modification. I installed a metal tire valve stem on the tank. (I'm not recommending that anyone should do this, this was done just for my personal use.) Instead of using the hand pump to pressurize the tank, I planned to use the built in air compressor on my battery jump starter. (I finally got to make good use of it since it was worthless as far as jump starting cars, but that's another story.) Since I planned on using the "dry" method, I could use the schrader valve to relieve pressure in the tank, rather than unscrewing the cap.The cap that goes on the master cylinder is specifically made for my car type and not universal, so it fits on nice and tight, no leaks. An extra gasket for the cap was included.The gauge goes up to 30 psi but it is recommended that you don't exceed 20 psi.I kept it between 10-15 psi to be on the safe side. It was more than enough pressure to push the brake fluid through the system. The air compressor in my jump starter pressurized the tank slowly enough so that it wouldn't accidentally over pressurize the tank. Since I did employ the "dry" method, I had to refill the master cylinder and make sure the fluid level didn't get too low. (If it does, you'll be sorry!) It took around four refills per wheel since I was flushing the system rather than just bleeding it. To me, this small hassle was better than the clean up and wasting of brake fluid associated with employing the "wet" method. The schrader valve worked as I had planned, and it was easy to relieve the tank pressure before refilling the master cylinder.This was the easiest brake bleeding job that I have ever done. I'm almost (I said almost!) looking forward to the next bleeding job! The bleeder is very sturdily built and worked as advertised. My only regret is that I didn't discover it sooner!

I needed to change the brake fluid on my 2011 and 2015 GMC Terrain and this made the job much easier. I still had to have someone pump the brakes. I don't know why the Terrains won't pressure bleed even with this device, but at least I didn't have to keep filling the master cylinder.

Worked flawlessly on my 01 Silverado, the real 1 man brake bleeder for sure.

I rarely write reviews, but this thing worked beautifully! Upgraded calipers and brake lines on my car and this allowed me to do a complete fluid flush and bleed on all four wheels by myself in about 30 minutes. Brakes feel great now!Had a very very small leak where the 2 hose pieces screw together. Was going to put some teflon tape on the brass connectors, but wasn't sure if it would adversely react with the hydraulic fluid. I ended up just wrapping a rag around it and continued. The cap seemed to seal well to the reservoir with no leaks and held pressure well.If you are doing a full fluid change, remove as much old fluid as you can from the reservoir first, then refill with the new fluid prior to hooking up the pump system. This will save time during the bleeding process. Also, make sure to add at least 2 pints of fluid to the pump to make sure the master cylinder does not run dry. I used about 2.5 pints total of new fluid to completely flush and bleed my brake system. Any extra can be poured back into the original containers, but as the hydraulic fluid is hygroscopic, I wouldn't keep it for an extended period of time.Overall, this saved a lot of time and was extremely easy to use. Clean up was very easy with denatured alcohol. I highly recommend this product.

This pressure brake bleeder is great! It makes bleeding brakes by yourself painless. You are also virtually guaranteed a firm brake pedal everytime, assuming you don't have any further leaks or defective brake parts on your vehicle. The price point was tough to beat for the convenience and ease of use.However, at first, getting the cap seated on the master cylinder's reservoir without it leaking was a bit of a challenge but not after you get use to it. This is one of the reasons why I only gave it a four star rating. The second reason is that I think there is some room for improvement, such as providing a way to conveniently bleed off the pressure safely instead of loosening the cap on the pressure tank's pump assembly.All things considered, the pressure bleeder is a must have. It definitely beats bleeding brakes the old way using two people. I would buy another one if this one ever breaks.

I ordered this pressure bleeder for a 2016 Silverado. Checked it out before starting anything and found white plastic pieces inside! I think these would have caused some SERIOUS issues to my brake system. I connected the brass connections on the tank hose and adapter hose using Teflon tape as directed. The MC adapter worked with the thinner gasket but I had to put a thin coat of brake fluid on it to get it to turn and seal. Then I did the preliminary leak test before putting any brake fluid in it. Leaked awful! Wouldn't build up more than 4 or 5 lbs of pressure and wouldn't hold that. Checked the adapter, fitting and where the gauge goes into the plastic tank. The leak was where the gauge goes into the tank. I tried to tighten it up a little but it didn't help. I removed the gauge and found NOTHING sealing the brass gauge fitting to the plastic! I wrapped Teflon tape many times around the gauge threads and got it to seal. Then it built up pressure but after way to many pumps. It then held pressure. For the price, you should not have to work on it to make it work. It should be ready to go right out of the box. Could have made one for a lot less. Don't buy this thing.

Used it on a 2000 Oldsmobile used great no leaks from the sealGave me two seals to use a thicker one and smaller one I went with the small one it worked fine only thing i recommend is use Teflon tape around the copper fittings they will leak under pressure

This is a wonderful piece of equipment. Makes the job. Easy. Only beef is that the cap did not fit the aftermarket Raybestos master cylinder. Had to buy the universal adapter. Take the adapter cap with you if you are buying replacement master cylinder to make sure it fits.

La comodità.

As I said in title, works fine, the 1108 fit my 08 GMC Yukon brake reservoir just fine as CTA claimed it would. I have the 3 prong reservoir cap which they say is common for 92 and later. Thx GM for sticking with the same size over that length of time. Good to have that commonality of parts for us do it yourselfers as I’m sure the pros appreciate as well.

Was exactly what I wanted and did exactly what I needed - recommended
