Re: Reply to Brake Pressure Bleeder Gage

["Ron Buchalski" <rbuchals@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Brad,

It's not advisable to use the same pressure bleeder for brake fluid and gear 
oils.  You won't be able to remove all of the residuals from the bleeder, so 
you'll end up contaminating your brake fluid.

It would be better to build a second pressure unit and dedicate it to gear 
oil changes.

Also, the maximum pressure that should be applied to the master cylinder is 
20psi, not 29psi.

a Motive Products pressure bleeder for brakes)
