NAPA has one for $10 any bleeding machine for brake job ?? cheap in price 850

It's a tube with a oneway valve on the end. Very simple to use, bleed each caliper one at a time. Works well, good price since you only us it a couple times before you can't find it in your garage any more like anything else .....:)

IPD also sells a manual bleeder, $22.50 850

IPD sells a manual bleeder product. It's a nifty gadget and works well.
http://www.ipdusa.com/productdetails.aspx?ProductID=67&subsubcategoryID=13
$22.50.

And in a pinch, there's the old shade-tree mechanic's trick:
-buy three times as much fluid as you need
-pour 2/3 of it into a small jar
-put the jar on the ground near the furthest tire from the master cylinder
-attach a neoprene tube to the bleeder vent, submerge the open end in the fluid
-open bleeder vent
-pump brakes very slowly 10-15-20 times (brakes will be very soft)
-close bleeder vent, refill fluid reservoir
-repeat on next furthest tire from cylinder

The IPD device attaches to the reservoir/master cylinder, and uses pressure from your spare tire to push new fluid through the brake lines. You just bleed each wheel one at a time, starting with the furthest from the master cylinder. Nobody has to pump the brakes.

I'm sure that's a nice tool, but the Motive Bleeder for $45 is FAR superior. With the Griots tool you have to watch the master cyl to make sure it doesnt run dry (and cause a mess with your ABS system getting air locked in). The Motive bleeder feeds the master cyl, no chance for air to enter if you fill it up when starting the job.

Just buy the Motive and be done with it is my advice. Dozens of others on this board will agree.
