TRtool for bleeding brakes

While searching for brake-bleeding equipment, I ran across one offered by Mayco. It is their Phoenix System Maxpro 205. It bleeds the brakes from the "opposite" end.........that is, one bleeds from the bleed screw, backwards, to the the reservoir.

Has anyone heard of this system? Is it any good?

It seems that with the standard pressure bleeders, one gets an assortment of various caps, for the reservoir.........and, they probably don't have one for the screw-on cap reservoir, found on the TR, or Boxer!

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Henry,

I use Vacum Bleeders all the time. Not free lunch, but they do work very well in most cases. Perfectly suited to the job you're doing. I use them on the clutches also.

I like the "Power Bleeder Pro" by Motive Products (www.motiveproducts.com) Works great, and uses a hand pump to pressure bleed. Much better than the Phoenix, which I also bought.

>>a hand pump to pressure bleed<<

now that I could go for!!!

the others are dangerous and messy imo!

nice Tip Bill, thanks!!!

Bill,

You have stated that you have the Phoenix, and don't like it.............that thing costs over $400, from Matco........and one still needs the bladder attachment, for the reservoir, which I can't find in the catalog.

I just saw the video, for the Phoenix, and I wasn't impressed...........I will pass on it.

Do you know if the "Power Bleeder Pro" can be used on the TR and/or Boxer?

Thanks

I believe it will work with these. The round black cap that comes with it fits Daytona and 308, 328, so I think the cap threads are all the same. This thing is a real bargain at less than $100, and I've found I can bleed a completely dry system out by myself in about 15 minutes. Only thing I found is that the hose connection between the bleeder tank and selected cap fitting sometimes weeps a bit, so I wrap a towel around this and tie with ty-wraps just to be safe.

Power Bleeder for sure!

Don't forget to bleed the clutch when you bleed the brakes or flush the brake fluid.

Thanks guys,

I just ordered the "Power Bleeder Pro". I thought of the Phoenix, but you guys just saved me $300.

Now I can keep my Ferraris for another month...............haha!!!!!!!!!!!!!
