It's great. It's much better to use the pressure at the master cylinder
end than use a MityVac and suck from the caliper end. And I have an
Eezibleed as well but it's been collecting dust since I made my own version
of the Motive less than 1/2 the price and 15 minutes of time.
1/2 gallon garden sprayer ($10), MC cap from the u-pull-it ($1), some clear
tubing I had laying around, a couple hose clamps I had laying around and a
couple tire valves ($1.50).
Drill a hole in the MC cap specified by the tire valve and pull the tire
valve through - I used the extra long necked ones to get maximum overlap
with the tubing. Drill a hole in the garden sprayer near the top and do
the same. Some people have put a pressure gauge in theirs but I figured it
was overkill (since I didn't have one on hand and would have to find one
and buy it) so I put a valve in there and just figured out how many pumps
on the sprayer gave me 12 pounds. Then, just cut the nozzle end off the
sprayer, slip a couple clamps on the hose, slip the hose over the ends and
clamp it down. Use enough hose so you can set the sprayer on the ground or
someplace stable so it won't tip over. The Crapsman sprayer had a nifty
on-off grip trigger on the wand so you can charge the sprayer and measure
the pressure.
I've had this for over a year now and it's worked great. One little
improvement I'm going to make when I find tubing small enough is to epoxy a
piece of tubing in the MC cap to siphon fluid back into the bleeder so the
MC isn't overfilled.
