Hey gang...
Is there a good electric/power/vacuum/etc brake bleeder? I'm looking for something that will get me up and going rather quickly. I'm planning on completely refurbishing the brake system on my Daytona
I picked up a MV6830 Mighty Vac system a few years ago because my wife thought there was better things to do then help me pump the brakes. :smilielol:
I have used it many times and it works great. I have even found other uses for it like sucking gear oil out of a diff, or sucking an overfilled auto tranny.
Very useful and well made tool.

I got one from Harbor Freight that runs off an air compressor. It worked when NOTHING else would. I removed the restriction do-dad off the end of it for max flow and let it rip. They are cheap also. :2thumbs:

Yup, thats the one that I've had for quite a few years. Best investment I have ever made. I can use it on not only my antiques but daily drivers as well and no longer need the help of someone pushing down on the pedal.

This is it:

My lines to the back brakes sat drained for several years and for days I couldn't get fluid back there. I wore out my hand and the seal on the "Mighty-Vac" pumping. Car parts stores and online wanted big bucks for more elaborate bleeders and then I found this thing. Even with this I had to strip it down some and let it run wide open for 15 minutes just to get it starting to see fluid. Air vacuum suction diminishes greatly traveling back up to the master cylinder, passing through the proportioning valve and lines. The included supply bottle was a handy tool for feeding fluid but is designed for newer systems so you'll need to adapt it with a wire coat hanger. (It worked great on my Cherokee's tiny clutch master cylinder.)
Look for coupons and sale flyers as I saw it last year for like 50% off.
