marcaztls Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Honstly, a syringe and length of silicone tubing. I've tried tons of tools and while some are good, for the cost a syringe does exactly the same job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corners R Us Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Tried a similar kit to the Sealey one and TBH a good syringe and length of clear tubing is my preferred method. Corners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobert Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Mityvac for me - I still finish off the job the old way but the initial process is so much easier with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 I brought the sealy once recently. None of the nipple adaptors give a good fit, so don't waste your money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorenzo Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 I use a mityvac, it's excellent. I've tried a syringe in the past but it annoyed me: After about 5 minutes of exposure to brake fluid the seals had swollen to such an extent that it was useless.

porter_jamie Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 i use a syringe, really easy, and cheap. same deal with the clutch. i bought a load of big syringes from my local hydroponics shop for about 3 quid each Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the right tyPE of syringe and that won't happen. I use a nitrile sealed syringe two or three times a day, six days a week and replace each one, and the silicone tubing every three-four months I'd say. Most of the black rubber sealed syringes won't last very long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixerboy1 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Do you have a link to a syringe with nitrile seals? A search just reveals pages of hospital suppliers with nitrile gloves and "normal" syringes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilchicken0 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 I just use a tube and valve type from a car factors. I had some new lines to bleed in but try as I might I couldn't do it so I bought one of the ones you linked to. Couldn't do it with that either.
