well the vacum did not work.
but adding presure to the res worked really well. i used a rubber furnco and reduced it to the compresser hose with a valve. i just cracked the valve open, then with vinal tubing attached to the bleeder, i cracked that open and the fluid came pouring out;did that until i saw no bubbles and worked good. i am a plumber so i had all this stuff, i just wanted to experament,and this was my results.

 

i'm not following what you did... whats a rubber furnco ? does it somehow replace the master cylinder lid ?

 

Yeah I'm not following what you did either.

 

I tried to put a pic of one , it's a rubber coupling/sleeve with hose clamps on either end

Why do I see this as a future Darwin award winner?

 

So I'm guessing the purpose of this is to turn bleeding brakes into a one man show?

 

this will be the first pic of anything ive ever put on the computer;i no everyone wants to see my truck so i got the camra now let me see if i could do it.never mind (30 later)but ill get it.
i did post exactly how to do it in the first post but for the first comers...

you use that rubber cupling, one side clamps right on to the res and the other i used threaded bushings to reduce the cupling to a compresser fitting.so first i used a 1 1/4x1 1/2 rubbr cup, clamp 1 1/4 side on the res,then clamp a 1 1/2x1/2 bushing into the 1 1/2 side,then 1/2 nippleto a 1/2 valve,and a 1/2x1/4 bushing from valve to copresser fitting; and thats it.

see my father had a tool for his race car and you would take the res off and this would go in its place,it hada contaner and you would add fluid about half waythen put the top on ,and the top had an air fill valve like a tire, then you fill it up with like 80psi. then you would start bleeding.but he had a fire at his house 5-6 yrs ago in the worst spot THE GERAGE so all the awsome tools he had were lost,and the insurance company did cover it but hes to old to care about that stuff any more,so ive been buying what i need instead of barowing, then enhari..t.. no i shouldnt talk like that.so thats where i got the idea

Darwin Award for sure!

With all due respect.....do you realize that you just forced microscopic air bubbles and water molecules into your brake fluid? Thats why mechanics use vacuum systems to bleed brakes, to pull those air bubbles and water OUT of the system. Hope ya like spongy brakes and rusty wheel cylinders....that is if I understand what you did? You used air pressure to force brake fluid through your system...right? NOT a good idea, IMHO. And sorry if I wasn't P.C. in my response, no offence intended, just wanted to explain why its a bad idea so no other amateurs try this.....[sm=icon_beat.gif]....yes.....I'm an A-hole.....sorry

 

Yeah doesn't compressed air have water in it? Not something I'd want in my brake fluid. I think I will stick with the old fashioned way of bleeding them.
