Default Please recommend a Bleeder pump

I do not want to use SpeedBleeders, I'm hoping to use one that either pushes the brake oil through or pulls it through.

Please advise, thanks!

Ones that "pulls" the fluid through do not work especially well as they draw too much air through at the bleed screw. In doing so, you cannot truly tell if the air is coming from the system and thus cannot tell when the bleed has completely removed any air that may be present.

The problem with getting something to "push" the fluid through is that you must find the appropriate adaptor to completely seal off the top of the fluid reservoir or it won't create enough pressure to do the job. Perhaps PM "gernby" a link to this thread so he can give his comments. I seem to recall he made a reply on this subject some time ago.
Other than trying at your local auto supply store for a pressurized brake bleed kit, I don't have any other suggestions for you. Quite honestly, I have not seen an example of bleed kit that "pushes".
(I do the standard "2 man" bleed.)

And they have a cap that will perfectly seal onto our brake and clutch reservoirs?
THIS IS GREAT!

Last I read, there was not an appropriate adapter cap for our reservoir. A downside to this unit is that you would have to put a good bit more brake fluid into the tank to guarantee that you don't run out, or push air bubbles in to the system as it gets low.

I am checking with Motive but this looks like exactly what I wanted and at the price I was looking to spend. Hope this works out. Thanks for the recommendation Sebring Silvur!
