Brake bleeding using the Harbor Freight compressed air one-man system.
Caught this on sale for like $20 and figured it was worth a shot as I rarely have an assistant handy and recently replaced the rear pads on my 2010 Rubi.
It has a fill bottle so that you don't need to keep checking brake fluid level:
And it comes with different size clips or adapters to fit the opening. Once I found one that fit perfect, I marked it a couple of times with permanent red marker so I'd remember which one works for my JK:
Has a neat on/off valve so you don't need to worry about getting brake fluid everywhere:
Of course I removed most of the old fluid before even starting:
After that just hook up your compressor and set it to 90psi and then attach the nipple to each bleeder and hold the handle to create the vacuum and crack open each bleeder and watch her perform. Pretty darn easy!
