Brake Bleeder Kits

Need some help finding out what a good brake bleeder kit is. The only one I've seen thus far is one by Motive Products, kit for Asian cars, roughly $46.

Any other suggestions on a good kit?

The "brake bleeder kit" I've been using is my lovely wife.

Haha... I've used the same "kit" too. But sometimes I need to do it by myself so I bought this one by Mityvac. It uses compressed air to create vacuum to "suck" the old fluid out from the bleeder valve instead of the pressurized systems that "force" the fresh fluid in at the fluid reservoir. Some say it reduces the possibility of "introducing" moisture in the system from the pressurized air.

That's the kit that i use. I bought it here

http://www.apexperformance.net/cartg...p?pid=46&cid=8

I got free shipping at the time. Not sure if they still offer it. But many people on the TOyota boards swear by it.
It also works wonders when you're doing it by yourself.

Here... read this page. It'll tell you a little about it. If you want to, you can scroll up and read about all of the different methods.

Yes indeed, that works the best when you don't have exactly a wife handy to pump the brakes....
