I use this to just Bleed my brakes. An adaptor to the C6 Corvette brake reservoir and a cheap pressure regulator to hold 50 psi to the system.

I use one of these for filling cooling systems....

https://www.matcotools.com/catalog/p...TEM-AIR-PURGE/

From what you are describing and show it is almost exactly as this works for cooling. It draws vacuum down and makes sure there are no leaks, then with the hose dropped into the coolant you open the valve and it forces it into the entire system. I haven't had to burp a system since 1996 when I bought this.


A system like this for brake fluid would be incredible!!!

Hey Mark,

Does the factory use something similar to fill the hydraulic clutch system?

Thanks,

Steve

Looks good and could uncover small leaks, but I've never had an issue getting a rock hard brake pedal just using one of those cheap pressure bleeders. I felt like I found God the first time I used one instead of pumping the pedal. But I don't have an ABS module either.
