Hello,

I would like to get a Motive Pressure Bleeder and would like to know if this fits the 914 brake fluid reservoir? Is this unit a good one?

Thanks,
Dan

I have one and it works great. Fits the reservoir. Just follow directons printed on side of the bottle. Some 914's have a vent hose from reservoir, some don't (can't remember when change occured). If you have a vent hose, you need to plug/clamp it or you pump fluid out.

I have one and think it's a great item...only issue with it is it would be nice if the hose rotated independantly....

Thank you guys, I will order one today!

Yeah, I just got one last week. I replaced my 944 clutch slave and master. Bleeding it took me about 10 minutes. I flushed the brake lines since the bleeder was full of Ate Blue already. Those took me about 20 min. total. Definitely a useful tool.

When I did mine, I had a big bubble in the bleeder line. There was fluid getting by the bubble, but I would like to know if there is a better way to prime the line. I just hooked mine up and pumped it to 18 psi.

BTW I got mine from PP.

Works great,

-very simple, and I agree on the need for the cap line to rotate...

-pressure gauge is key also so you know when to stop pumping

I got one and used it to flush the brake system on my son's 75 Bus. It sure made the job easy and I ended up with the best performing brakes that have been on that Bus in the 10 years he's had it. Highly recommended!

I ordered a Motive pressure bleeder from TrackHaus Monday night and got it yesterday. I have not opened the box yet but that was pretty fast shipping from MA to NY.

Thanks Again for your input!

...all you gots to do it screw the hose onto a spare 914 brake reservoir cap....

i soldered an air tool quick-disconnect onto a tire valve stem (the metal, screw-down kind) and use that to pressurise the reservoir. i have a few small air regulators available; 7-10 psi works for me. even at the track there is always compressed air available.

you do have to pay attention so the reservoir doesn't run dry. i use a small dump bottle. when it's full, it's time to stop and add more fluid...

I've been using Speed Bleeders with great success.

I have one and use it on my BMW's too. I bought an adapter and can use it on the Ford. The Ford dealer gets 190.00 to flush your brake fluid. Really!

I like ArtechnikA's Idea...

Now prior to having something with a pump and bottle, I took an old master cylinder reservoir cap, drilled a hole to fit a quick connect air hose fitting, used a couple of rubber and metal washers to sandwich the fitting and cap with a nut on the male threads on the air fitting. Fill the reservoir, attach the cap and using 5lbs of air pressure from your compressor and you have a poor man’s pressure bleeder. Just remember to stop and fill and watch that air pressure…
