I had the same experience with the Motive bleeder.  The cap screws on, =
but it does not seal.

I used a pressure bleeder attached to a cap I made. My experience with =
the vacuum systems attached to the slave cylinder nipple is that they =

don=E2=80=99t work well in my opinion.

that would not fit and seal the system to it could be pressurized. I =

to fit. They just blew is off and did not help!

Fellow Listers,

I need to replace my old discolored brake fluid with new. What technique =
have you used? Did you just drain all the lines and reservoir and then =
refill with new fluid? Then bleeding to get all the air out? Or draining =
the lines to where the reservoir is almost empty and then adding new =
fluid so as to prevent air from getting in the lines? Bleeding the =
clutch slave cylinder is not one of my favorite pastimes.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Elton
