Re: Follow-up on Brake bleeding procedure Posted by MontereyAero [Email] (#506) [Profile/Gallery] (more from MontereyAero) on Fri, 17 Jan 2014 19:53:36 In Reply to: Re: Follow-up on Brake bleeding procedure, Tom G [Profile/Gallery] , Thu, 16 Jan 2014 15:51:30 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I purchased the black Label European Brake bleeder directly from Motive site. Model number 0109. It lists for $74.95. Others have it for about $10 less. The key is that the threaded cap on the line running from the SAAB brake reservoir to the pressure vessel, fit the 9.5 reservoir exactly as does the included rubber gasket. Thus there were no issues with air/pressure leaks.
Another observation, I drew 100 ml from each of the front brakes and 50 ml, or slightly more from the two rear wheels--according to the WIS instructions. I had emptied the car's reservoir (on the garage floor, see my previous TCS/ABS post) and refilled the reservoir with new fluid. I drew about 23 oz of fluid in the bleeding process and the reservoir remained filled. In short, I used way less than the 2 lt I placed into the Motive bleeder.
