Lmc 27 Report post Posted June 20, 2019 Looking to get a brake pressure bleeder I’m looking at possibly this one https://www.tools4trade.co.uk/sealey-vs820-brake-clutch-bleeding-system.html thought I would check to make sure this would be fine with the gt86 and also if anyone has any other recommendations before i buy it.

Ignited 24 Report post Posted June 21, 2019 The gunson one will be no good as it comes with only screw on caps so not like the 86s fitting. I think you will need to get one of the ones that create a vacuum after the bleed nipple rather than trying to pressurise before the nipple (if you see what I mean!). Something like this? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bleeder-Tester-Vacuum-Motorbike-Bleeding/dp/B00HHXRBWI/ref=asc_df_B00HHXRBWI/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=232020729251&hvpos=1o4&hvnetw=g&hvrand=8987588034638329079&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1007025&hvtargid=pla-440840631275&psc=1 I did see a youtube video of a guy who just made his own with a few lengths of hose and the top of a household spray bottle to get the same effect.

Lmc 27 Report post Posted June 22, 2019 Bought a pressure bleeder from machine Mart with a universal cap which in all honesty is a pain in the arse. the bleeder is a great bit of kit just need to find the right cap. Anyway job done ready for next TrackDay at coombe on 8th July Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gavin_t 184 Report post Posted June 26, 2019 I looked into various ones of these and the conclusion was that with the type of cap the GT86 uses they are a pain. I just use an easi-bleed/the old fashioned method to be safe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
