 Great idea, flawed design September 5, 2008

I bought the Actron Kit to bleed the rear brakes for my motorcycle. The Actron kit is made of metal and comes with the standard jar to hold your fluids, hoses, and that's about everything you need to bleed your brakes. The reason I bought this kit was because of the gauge on the pump so I could see if there was a leak somewhere in the system. I tried using the kit by connecting the black hose to the pump and the jug. From the jug there would be a clear hose to see if there are any bubbles in the fluid that you draw to the bleeder nipple. Unfortunately, I was never able to create a vacuum due to the flawed design of the jug. I tested every connection with the pump and gauge and I could always create a vacuum until I connected the hoses to the jug. This jug is also relatively small will probably not be able to hold that much fluid, and once the fluid gets to the top it will be sucked by the pump. Fortunately, the pump is metal and you're able to clean it. I had high hopes from this kit but it didn't work out for me.
 Junk as a brake bleeder August 31, 2008

This is a fine vacuum test kit, but garbage for bleeding brakes. I could not get a tight seal around the brake bleeders no matter how much grease I used on them and the cup. The cup is also very brittle and feels like it's going to break just putting the hoses on it.
I went back to my simple tube with a check valve in it and a second person pumping the brake pedal - works great. Save your money and don't bother with this kit.
 They could do better. January 10, 2008

The cover does not seal tightly on the cup,after putting grease between the two, I was able to draw a vacuum. The cup/cover should be redesigned,
a little larger would be nice as well.
Need to use a lot of silicone grease(included)on the bleeder screw threads to get them to seal.
After fixing those two problems,the pump itself works great.
It's not made in USA.(Which helps China and hurts the US)
Works, but mess due to bad design September 1, 2007

"easier brake bleeding without the mess" - unfortunately, that was not my experience.
1) a lot of my time/effort even after using sealing lubricant was spent ensuring that air does not enter through the gaps between the cup and the cup cover. The design of the cup is flawed - shouldn't the cup cover atleast tightly fit the cup?.
2) air leaked through the threads of the bleeder screw, and there isn't any way to prevent it. I don't know if other kits prevent this problem. Fortunately, this problem didn't have a severe impact on the outcome.
3) the glass on the vaccum dial broke even under normal use.
I hope Actron fixes design flaw #1 and #3.
 Brake Bleeding Made Easy February 1, 2007

I used the Actron kit to replace the brake fluid in my jeep. I removed the Master Cylinder cover, then sucked the fluid out each wheel cylinder bleed valve individually (while topping off the reservoir with fresh fluid) until each cylinder ran clean. It was a one man operation with all the bubbles coming out the bleed screw (I put some grease on the bleed screw fittings so my tygon tubing made a good seal). I bought an extra length of tygon tubing at the hardware store so I could have extra room.
