Using an Autobleeder and Review

I love Harbor Freight. It's filled with Cheapo tools that ride the line between crappy and just barely useful for the average home owner. This is a combined review usage of the Harbor Freight Autobleeder tool.

The device is simple to use. Grab the tall bottle and screw on the right size support. Fill with new brake fluid and then place it into the brake reservoir. This is the reservoir bottle.

Since the bottle is tall and the reservoir is slanted, the use of a wire support helps.

Mount an air hose nipple onto the other bottle and attach that to an air hose. I happen to use these handy dandy rain holes to support the bottle when I was bleeding my brakes. This is the bleed bottle.

The other end slides onto the bleed nut on the brake. The front brakes use a 10mm and the back brakes use a 9mm. Put a vacuum on the system by pressing the lever on the bleed bottle. Then open the bleed nut on the brake. Fluid should come out into hose.

A couple of things, pressing the lever will suck the brake fluid out and will suck air from the outside through the not so good nipple sucking thing. Heck I don't know what to call it. Basically the best way for you to see if there is air bubble is to go the brake and pump it. At least the system remains closed to outside air.

I apologize for the out of focus picture.

Pros: Cheap, easy to use, better than some snot nose kid :o
Cons: Hard to see if bubbles are from the brake system or the brake nipple attachment.
Rating: Thumbs up.
Remarks: Just pump the brakes and you will get the job done.

PS I don't know the bleed pattern for this car. I did the back and the fronts second and it seems to work.
