Recommend To Me A Pneumatic Bleeder

Have you thought of something like an ABV from someone like this? I’ve fitted a couple to the front calipers on my SP3, definitely recommend.

I've used this one, https://www.toolstoday.co.uk/sealey...tI9ddNUJ64SfnvIZ23FFjzJLmdQI3V3oaAtgnEALw_wcB , with good results on car and bike but haven't tried it with the stahlbus bleed nipples. Only problem with regular nipples and vacuum bleeders is the nipple leaks air into the line so it's very hard to know when you're done. Maybe some pfte tape on the nipple would address that.

 

I think that the problem with any of the suction type bleeders is that unless the threads on the bleed nipple have a perfect seal, you'll always get at least some ingress of air into the bleed tube meaning you can't be certain you've got all the air out. I use a mityvac type then remove it and do the last few pumps old school style.

 

For the car I used a pressure bleeder and it worked really well... however to use them on a bike you need a different cap that will fit the bikes reservoir Does anyone know where they can be bought from ?

Just buy a pattern part equivalent and drill a hole in it for the pressure fitting.

 

Bought this specifically for my Sons MX125 rear brake as it was a real pita. Worked a treat and very little outlay.

I’ve had good results with something as simple as this. Just keep pumping fluid through and topping the reservoir as you go

 

Johnny, just a thought, but did a pushrod spacer come with the Oberon as they used to due to the two different pushrod lengths made......

 

bonne chance !!

 

I fitted an Oberon to my mts yesterday and prefilled it prior to securing it. That way, I could tilt it and get rid of all the bubbles in it. Worked first time…give it a go
