Brake Fluid Bleeder Kit ????

Anyone know if there's a brake fluid bleeder kit out there ? I wanted to change the brake fluid but I can't seem to find a kit to do this. Any help would be appreciated

You can usually find one at an auto parts store in the tool section. Usually it is a couple of clear pieces of plastic tubing and a check valve, sometimes with different size ends. Probably 15 bucks topps. Eric.

I've heard from a different forum that a device called Mityvac works great for bleeding the brake fluid. I have no personal experience w/ it so couldn't tell you.

A mityvac allows you to "vacuum" the fluid through the system by sucking out the bleeder valve on each caliper so you don't need a second person to keep pressure on the brake pedal while you are opening and closing the bleeder valve.
