I have tried pressure power bleeders and they can be quite a mess. Brake fluid hurts very bad when you get it in your eyes and will take paint off. Having it pressurized isn't my idea of a fun time. Having brake fluid under vacuum is much more idiot proof. | I have tried pressure power bleeders and they can be quite a mess.

You can get inexpensive venturi (need an air compressor to operate) vacuum pumps made for AC work from Harbor Freight. The one I have is just like the first link but is red and had a R12 fitting on it. The vacuum fitting is 1/8-NPT on the other side. | You can get inexpensive venturi (need an air compressor to operate) vacuum pumps made for AC work from Harbor Freight.

Leave the engine bay alone, go to an auto parts store and buy a hand-operated pump *with* all these fittings or online from Amazon.com: $30 made of plastic resin, $35 for the brass version. | Leave the engine bay alone, go to an auto parts store and buy a hand-operated pump *with* all these fittings or online from Amazon.com: $30 made of plastic resin, $35 for the brass version. | ||
