FAQs
Can I use this for hydraulic clutch systems?
Yes, the kit is designed to be compatible with both hydraulic brake and hydraulic clutch systems.
Is this kit compatible with ABS systems?
While it can be used for basic bleeding, some complex ABS systems may require specific diagnostic tools or dealer-level software to cycle the ABS pump.
What should I do if the hose does not fit my bleed screw?
The kit comes with multiple tapered fittings. If none fit, you may need an adapter specific to your vehicle's manufacturer requirements.
Do I need to keep the reservoir topped up?
Yes, constantly monitor the master cylinder reservoir level during the process to ensure it does not run dry, which would introduce more air into the system.
How do I dispose of the old brake fluid?
Old brake fluid is hazardous waste; please dispose of it at your local council recycling center or authorized hazardous waste collection point.
Can I use this on a car?
Yes, the kit is compatible with cars and light vehicles that utilize standard hydraulic brake setups.
Troubleshooting
Air bubbles continue to appear in the hose after extensive bleeding
Check that the fitting is snug on the bleed screw; if air persists, apply a small amount of grease around the bleed screw threads to create a better seal.
Fluid is not moving into the bottle
Ensure the hose is not kinked and verify that the bleed screw is opened sufficiently to allow fluid flow.
Bottle falling off the bike frame
Ensure the magnetic clamp is attached to a flat, clean steel surface rather than plastic, aluminum, or coated surfaces.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Enables solo maintenance without an assistant
- Magnetic mount keeps the bottle secure and upright
- Universal fittings cover most standard bleed screws

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the kit, first verify that you have selected the correct tapered fitting for your vehicle's bleed nipple. Ensure the vinyl hose is pushed firmly onto the fitting to avoid air leaks. When finished, flush the collection bottle with clean water or a mild solvent to remove brake fluid residue, as brake fluid can degrade certain plastics over time. Store the hoses away from direct sunlight and sharp tools to prevent cracking or punctures. The kit is compatible with most DOT 3, DOT 4, and DOT 5.1 brake fluids.
