Hey I know this was a while ago but I just bought this exact one and was having a problem with not much suction and I found out you have to remove a little circle stopper they put on there just for the packaging. I can see you didn’t remove it aswell. I thought I’d let your viewers know this is a great brake bleeder. I can now get it to max out the suction on it after removing the stopper. You can see it at 6:48 in the video. It’s stopping it from fully pulling the slider back and forward. So if anyone is reading this. I absolutely love this cheap harbor freight tool. Just remember to take off the stopper

@@bumbee2227 I think a better picture of the pump is at 02:21 where he is holding the pump in his hand. There, you can clearly see a horizontally positioned black plastic tube or such in between, holding the "arms" of the handles apart. So ,once removed that plunger should retract all the way into the vacuum cylinder. The pumping action should now produce a longer "throw" on that plunger, creating the vacuum needed to operate the bleeder.

@@bumbee2227 I was just guessing thinking maybe it's some breather port. But as I watch it I noticed that he couldn't pump it so I saw the block that restricted him from pumping it so the cylinder could pump long stokes with the piston giving him plenty of power. Without it he was handicapping himself. How he didn't realize he can only squeezed it a half inch which isn't doing anything.

How many of you guys remember working on the brakes of your dad's car? He was under the car the I was 9-10 years old in the car with Dad yelling : Okay pump! Okay, hold! Okay pump, okay hold! Until all the air was out of the system? I always liked the time I spent with my Dad in the garage working on anything. I learned a lot from him that way. Because of my Dad I'm able to do a lot of different things from car's to water heaters, plumbing, woodworking etc. Mom and Dad were married 64 years! I miss my Dad a lot but always think of "how would Dad do it" when I work on thing's. Hope a lot of you guys had a Dad like mine!

your last video clip shows brake fluid in the line between the cup and the pump meaning you probable go fluid in the pump that kills pump valving every time. The 23 inch line between the pump and cup should go to the connector that does NOT have the short plastic tube on it. The cup is to keep the fluid from reaching the pump and fluid accumulation.

I used one today, sucks really well. Found that the bleeder valve on the Autozone calipers were such a sloppy fit that air was leaking around the threads when it was loosened. On one, I just coated it with grease and it sealed pretty good. On another I cut a piece of hose and stretched it over the threads to create kind of an o-ring. That worked very well. Until I figured out where the air was coming from, I could have pumped a gallon of fluid and never got a clear line.

I have this same exact kit that's over 10 years old. I was finally able to put it to good use after the metal brake line in my 2004 Subaru Outback rusted out. I bleed the entire system after replacing all the metal components in the rear section. Aside from the little rubber bleeder fittings that didn't quite create an air tight seal, (use a short piece of aquarium tubing). This HF brake bleeder worked perfectly, just read the instructions if you are not familiar with the process!

Thanks for video I just used vacuum pump and at first not much success after master cylinder rebuild. Then I put grease around bleeder made sure all the way around and it was a huge difference was able to open and get decent amount of fluid going through no air leak. Did both calipers twice and thought I was finished but brake handle pulled all the way in. Continued to work handle in and out and bubbles where coming out of master cylinder. Straightend up handle bars then more air came out. Have nice hard peddle now also in the past i have let sit over night air works it's way up

I have a Pagid version (German brand) of this tool and it has one big failing that this one does too. When applying the vacuum to the bleed nipple air gets sucked into the tube from the outside, down the threads of the nipple.You can see this clearly on the first bleed, if that much air was in the caliper, you wouldn't have ANY brakes. A temporary fix is to smear silicone grease around the bleeder threads to act as a seal.

What was happening was that the pump was pulling air from the outside of the brake caliper pistons, past the piston seal ,which only seals ON WAY, against pressure from INSIDE the caliper, not against pressure from OUTSIDE. All those bubbles you saw was air being sucked INTO the caliper, past the seal, by the suction of the pump.. But when your neighbor pumped the brakes, he was producing pressure inside the caliper piston, which caused it to seal and blew the fluid out through the bleeder fitting. I've never had success with sucking brake fluid out. I now use fitting which consists of a tube into spare brake reservoir cap, through which I pump pressure into the master cylinder. This replicates someone pumping the brakes. When getting someone to pump the brakes, you do risk scoring the piston seal or the master cylinder itself, if the person pushes the brake pedal to the floor, causing the piston to travel past where it usually stops, into the normally untouched part of the master cylinder. This end part of the cylinder often has accumulated grit and other contaminants which, if scraped along the cylinder, will prematurely cause the piston seal to leak.

The tools work best when you use them correctly. Air flows up, so you always bleed brakes with your tube higher than the brake bleeder so the air goes up and away, not back into the brakes. Also your bleeder probably was clogged with rust. Pumping the brakes probably broke the rust free from the pressure build up.

I just bought one and I see some issues with your set up. 1st off The bleeder needs some thread tape or pipe dope to seal it from sucking air while you apply vacuum. Secondly the bleed screw adapter you installed backwards the big end goes over the clear line and the small end goes over the bleed screw nipple. Once that’s accomplished it’ll pull plenty of vacuum and quickly suck the air out of the system. The instructions show the bleed screw adapter backwards in my opinion. It actually works really well this way. Happy wrenching!!

Vacuum is not a "negative pressure" Vacuum is an ABSENSE of pressure.There is atmospheric pressure (15.7 lb/sq.in. which is the pressure on the surface of earth and reads zero on a guage. There is guage pressure which begins at zero PSI (which is atmospheric pressure) and increases with pressure applied. There is absolute pressure which is the sum of atmospheric and guage pressure. Vacuum is not pressure.

Its always good to have as short as possible tubing. The more volume in the tubing and collection between the bleeder nut and vacuum pump the less effective it is. It is also better to "pull" the air out as opposed to "pushing" it out.

A little late to party. But I just bought a set of these after watching your video and found that I could not get the pressure up to 10 Hg - until a rubberized cylindrical piece that was obviously added for packaging and shipping only (I could not put it back on) fell off the tool. After that I had full range to pump and would exceed 10 Hg in 3 or 4 pumps. You can see this "limiter"(?) @6:50 in your video - it is covering up the handle pivot point. FWIW.

If you're bleeding a motorcycle you have to use the other 3" line to the bleeder valve and it can also work for your car as well so the fluid moved directly into the container without losing some fluid in a longer line before it gets to the canister for holding the fluid when vacuum is applied to the system. I never needed the other 23" line. I think mainly for testing engines and vacuum valves for fuel systems is what the other 23" line is for maybe. Evidently he doesn't read his comment sections does He? Remove the spacer in the handle dummy. That's for shipping only, it will pump on up to 20 lbs. Anything over that is likely going to damage the Master Cylinder. As per instructions, plus you were supposed to use a nipple that fits in the 3" line and then plug in the correct adapter for your specific bleeder size. You get a better seal that way and can pump on up over 20 pounds that way. Plus this gauge is for setting vacuum on carbs for motorcycles so they will be balanced as well.

Best to use a box end wrench instead of a line wrench on a bleeder zerk - reason being that a box end will easily fit over the end, since there's no brake line to contend with, & even the best line wrench has a certain amount of give at the gripping surfaces due to the opening to allow it to slip over the brake line. Also, you can always just run a short length (about 6in to a foot is fine) of tubing from the bleeder zerk to a small jar or bottle with enough fresh fluid to cover the tip of the tubing by about 2 inches. Crack zerk open & gently press the brake pedal a couple times. Air bubbles exit, only fluid can return. No assistant needed. Keep an eye on reservoir's fluid so you don't run it dry.

To everyone having this issue. See the line in the body between where the gage is mounted and the rest of the body? Unpeel that pittsburg sticker. The front of the pump unscrews right there. Hold the gage and handle, and just unscrew the the front end right off. There is a rubber check valve / diaphragm inserted into the gage side (it will look like a flat piece of rubber but it has a tit on the back side (inside the body pointing toward the gage) that acts as a check valve. Gently pull that check valve diaphragm out and clean it. Be careful not to tear it, and don't get any oil on it. All it takes is a spec of dirt getting in there to hold that check valve open and it will behave just like yours. It's not Harbor Freights fault, there is no filter in these things, you probably sucked something up in there. I paused the video to write this and right there while you are calling it a piece of junk you have fluid in the suction hose (past the reservoir). Cleanit up, unhook the hose and blow it out. It should work like new after that and go to like 25" of Hg easy. You may need to do that quite often because again there is no filter and maybe you accidentally get dirty fluid or dirt in the air all the way up there. Also I find that little rubber gasket on the reservoir can leak to and cause the same problem. It happens

I could get this device to pressure up to 25. But, that was not enough to bleed out the brakes. I spent several hours trying. My son came by and in 10 minutes we bled the front brakes. This tool simply does not build enough vacuum pressure to bleed brakes.

I just installed pads, rotors and two front calipers on the 2012 Accord. Got everything together, bled the new calipers, I think a 3/16 inch clear hose and an empty gallon jug. I was flushing out the old brake fluid, and fluid is cheap. Did the entire job by myself, using the brake pedal. I think I paid $4 for the hose at Home Depot, along with three 12oz bottles of DOT3 brake fluid, $12, again, at Home Depot, the jug was free at this point. Remember, if you have an ABS unit under the hood, usually opposite the brake fluid reservoir, that is your starting point in regards to bleeding order.

I used one for testing the vacuum line that controls the climate in a Ford Crown Victoria and it broke in relatively short order, maybe a month later, with the issue being it was not able to hold vacuum any longer. I purchased a MityVac on Amazon and it has worked flawlessly as a vacuum pump with zero issues.

I've been wondering about using the "vacuum" approach to bleeding brake systems. But, I think I see a flaw in that method - the bleeder screw. As you apply vacuum to the bleeder screw and then loosen the screw I think that allows air to suck in past the screw threads. The more you open the bleeder screw the more air is sucked in as shown in this video. I don't think the vacuum pump was at fault - just the process. When someone is pumping the brakes the pressure forces out air and fluid through the bleeder screw AND around the threads. WE DON'T CARE. It is pumping OUT any and all air along with the fluid. That's why the brake pumping technique works better than the vacuum technique. There is a way to pump the brakes by yourself and that is to use a bottle half filled with brake fluid and a hose from the bleeder screw into the bottle and deep into the fluid. That way, air gets pumped out and not sucked back into the brake system. And don't crack the bleeder screw out too far - just enough to get a light flow. Or, take out the bleeder screw and put some teflon tape around the threads being careful not to get the tape on the machined surface of the screw. That should stop any airflow over the screw threads. Or, some "grease" or anti-seize on the threads should also stop airflow past the threads.

YOUR PUMP TOOL IS NOT THE PROBLEM. YOUR ARE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE AS WHAT I SEE IN THE VIDEO YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO BLEED ! THAT'S IT ! BETTER FOR YOU TO HAVE SOME PRACTICE BEFORE DOING THAT.

I notice you did not remove the packaging from the pump (black rubber circle), that's why you were not able to build up more pressure.
