Can you tell me more about this? I use MityVac now but was thinking about a power bleeder? This will force the fluid into the master cylinder and all through the system?

Yes. You put a pint/quart in the jug, close top, attach in place of your resorvoir cap, pump up some pressure. Presto, start bleeding. When you're done releive pressure on bottle and remove cap from reservoir. You'll need a turkey baster or something to suck out the excess fluid sitting in the top of the reservoir. Works like a charm.

It costs $55 directly from Motive. Go to www.motiveproducts.com and look for GM Power Bleeder, model # 0108.

I have one,

I suggest you get the GM cap/cover accessory. The universal cover did not work very well for me.

With the accessory it worked like a champ.

Nice company, good service, I recommend.
