at my wit's end with brake bleeding (who else says "blake breeding" on accident?... ok just me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)) anyways...
tried the old fashioned "get a buddy" method... this helped me find all my leaks... fun.. so after replacing all the lines, the master cylinder and a rear caliper, we tried again (3 weekends into this so far... ) Builds a little pressure, go to next wheel.. try again.. no change, but good flow.. after doing all 4 corners and getting good flow with no air at each one, STILL pedal almost goes all the way to the floor with little pressure... finally got to that point where you don't mind spending money to make the process easier, so i went to FLAPS and got the MityVac thing... $40 later i get home and go back to work... got the process down and got good flow at each tire again, reservoir staying full throughout... STILL sh*tty pedal feel... so at the time of this writing.. i quit! |

Best price is at Racer Wholesale Parts.
http://www.racerpartswholesale.com/categor..._Brake_Bleeders Call 'em for your car. They'll know the part number for your Porsche cap. I'm not near mine so I can't get the part number for you. Note: If you get the universal kit with all of the adapters, you can do all of the cars and trucks you own. This is the only way to do an ABS system BTW. If the fluid level goes down to low on those systems you have to fiddle with the computer as well as the mechanical stuff. |

I use it on all of my cars, be they Jeep, Porsche, Toyota or Subaru. Zach |
