Re: IPD Brake fluid vacuum pump, Any good? 200 85

The url has apparently died.

Anyway the mercedes list is at www.mercedes.pair.com/archives/

Enter search and serarch for eezibleed,medical

In case that site has died.To recap(pun intended)

Obtain pvc tubing from home depot.$1

Obtain almost new but discarded tire valve outside a reputable tire store like Canadian Tire which changes your valve everytime you buy a new tire.

Obtain Rubbermaid drinking bottle $4 approx.950 ml with a hole already for straw.Stick the tire valve into that big hole in the cap.

Drill a hole to fit pvc tubing of your choice.1/4 in ok.Put a drilled rubber stopper of a vacutainer blood test tube around the pvc tubing at the cap to make air tight.Or buy a rubber grommet if you do not have access to a rubber stopper.Put one end of pvc tube near the bottom of the Rubbermaid and the other end through a similarly drilled and grommeted junk yard cap which fit 740/ MB 300E too.Test system's air tightness.

Put in 2 bottles of small/ 1 big Castrol LMA brake fluid.Using hand bicycle pump ,pump unit up a few times only until brake fluid is seen going inside pvc tubing from bottle to reservoir.

Open caliper nipples in the ususal way.I attach pvc tubing in a loop to see the air bubble going down into a collecting jar.I make double sure the unit is airtight by submerging the oultlet tubing in ol d brake fluid.To make a one way valve.Voila

Tom
