Basic Maintenance: Brake Fluid

[Gone in 60]

use a vacuum bleeder

What vacuum model do you use, boss?

Thanks, David

I have one from Harbor Freight. Nice and simple, mostly brass and metal, not plastic.

You need to be careful, however, to keep the vacuum pump elevated above the level of the catch bottle, otherwise the collected fluid can travel into the pump. This creates a problem where you have to stop what you're doing, pull the line from the pump, let the fluid drain away, and squeeze the pump a bunch of times into a rag to blow the fluid out of it. Before I start, I make sure I have a place to rest the pump when I need to let go of it, so it's not just on the ground. For example, I'll put an old coat hanger over the handlebars to hang the pump from.

This pump comes with the lines, catch bottle, super simple, and I can easily do the job myself with it.
