Using Motive power bleeder on a C4
Has anyone use a Motive power bleeder on a C4? Their application guide says to use the generic fitting which looks like more hassle than its worth. Anyone have any actual experience with it? How did you set it up and did you run into any problems? One tip I did pick up from other threads is to add fluid to the reservoirs and not the power bleeder.
The reason I ask is because of the dual reservoir setup. The GM manual has listed two fittings (J29567 and J34098) to pressure bleed the system. Do I need these or is there another method?

That is what I have been using on my vettes. Just remember to pump the brake pedal slowly a few times with key off to remove any residual vacuum and then proceed to bleed. I have always had firm pedal at end of procedure. I have tried other methods but the motive bleeder is the cat's meow!
