I'm going to be giving my DL a whole new braking system for its 200th mile and am doing the same to my ES. I looked at the Motive Power bleeder and got sticker shock. $64 at the local stores and not much better online by the time shipping was figured in. Spent $14 at Home Depot and I'm good to go, just did the front of the ES and it works like a champ.

$9.99 1 gal garden sprayer
$4.00 JB Weld.

I had some caps for the MC laying around. I used the JB Weld to "weld" a piece of the sprayer's wand in a hole drilled in the cap. I made sure to hit the vent so fluid would not come back out.





Just screw the modified cap onto the MC, pump it up and turn it on a bit to bleed the hose from sprayer, and slip the hose over the nipple sticking out of the cap, tighten the hose clamp, turn the sprayer on and bleed away. Fast easy and clean.

Thought I'd share it with anyone thinking of doing a brake job. BTW after seeing what the core calipers I bought to rebuild before tearing the ES appart looked like, I'm making a yearly bleed manditory maintenance for all my cars.
