Beat me to it! Need to do the wifes brakes, will be doing it the old fashioned way (have her step on the pedal).
Use a clear water bottle or pop bottle, drill a hole to put a hose in that fits over the bleeder screw through the cap. Drill a small vent line in cap as well. Fill the bottle with brake fluid so your a inch above the bottom of the hose. Have the bleeder open and slowly hit the brake pedal, it will bleed the system without introducing air. There are videos on YouTube on this. Made my wife a lot happier my last brake job. She hates bleeding brakes. This makes it a 1 man job

Yes, thanks VW. Kmkalf, that was my plan, but with my wife pumping the brake pedal while I was by the bottle/bleeder.

There's always some air leak where hose meet bleeder screw. So still need to tighten the screw when releasing brake pedal.

Therefore, may well just start it dry.

I bought the other one, thanks! I can’t say I really needed it, but I love the color and it looks much more sturdy than the HF one it will replace.
Nice. Glad someone here got it. Hope to see pics in the New tool arrival thread.

I'm done shopping... Back to work.

This does work if you wrap some Teflon tape around the threads.
However, gravity bleeding works well on most disc brakes. Just open the bleeder & let the fluid run. I sometimes tap on the caliper to dislodge any small bubbles.

Not AWD but looks like a great deal on Milwaukee M18 outdoor power equipment
Chainsaw, blower, 12a battery, rapid charger for $449 with free shipping
I already have all of these but I am tempted as I could maybe take to son's house, break it up, must resist...


Edit: I will post in Milwaukee deals later, wanted to give you folks the first shot.
