DIY Brake fluid change, start to finish with the Sealey Brake and Clutch fluid bleeder. One of the best DIY bleeders you can get. Simple to use and easy to transport, no messing around this is my go to bleeder when changing the clutch and brake fluid. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, which means it absorbs moisture. Not what you want in your breaking system as any moisture could boil and cause air in the system which would lead to spongy brakes. Its recommended to change the brake fluid every 2 years. DOT 4 is the standard fluid used by many manufactures.

• One-person brake and clutch bleeding the professional way. Bleeding requires no external power source - simply fill and pump.
• Reservoir holds 2.5L of hydraulic fluid - flush the entire system with one fill, without the risk of running the reservoir dry.
• Pressure range makes unit suitable for use with ABS systems.
• Fitted with Ø45mm cap with 90° angled connector which is suitable for most European models.
• For other applications, order optional Brake Reservoir Cap 45mm Straight Connector - Model No. VS820SA, Universal Adaptor - Model No. VS820UA and Bleeder Cap Set - Model No. VS0204B.
Ensure that the bleeder is clean and free from debris and old hydraulic fluid.
Remove hydraulic fluid reservoir cap from the vehicle. If old fluid is contaminated, syphon it off and refill reservoir with fresh fluid.
DO NOT pump contaminated fluid through the hydraulic system.
Firmly attach the bleeder cap to the vehicle fluid reservoir, ensuring that the gasket seats properly and is not worn or cracked.
Tighten pump cap onto empty bleeder and pressurise to 10 psi (0.7bar). Check for leaks at the fluid reservoir and at the bleeder fluid hose connections. If reservoir cap or hose connections are leaking, release accumulated pressure in the bleeder reservoir by gently unscrewing the pump cap. DO NOT remove the cap before de-pressurising the bleeder reservoir. Reattach the bleeder reservoir cap
or tighten hose connections and once again pump the tank to 10 psi (0.7bar) and check for leaks.
If no leaks are found, gently unscrew pump cap and add up to 1.25 litre of new hydraulic fluid from a sealed container. Use only the type of hydraulic fluid recommended for your vehicle.
Tighten the pump cap and pressurise the bleeder to the level recommended in the vehicle service manual. DO NOT exceed 28psi (1.9bar). Higher pressures may damage your vehicles hydraulic system and could result in serious injury.
Determine the correct brake bleeding sequence from your vehicles service manual. usually start from the furthest wheel away from the master cylinder.
Attach bleed tube to bleed valve at the first cylinder to be bled, open end in a suitable fluid receptacle. Open bleed valve and bleed until fluid runs clear and free of bubbles.
Tighten bleed valve to the torque specified in your vehicle service manual.
Repeat on each bleed valve. Pump additional pressure into bleeder if necessary.
If fluid remains in the bleeder reservoir when finished, tip the tank away from fluid pick up tube and open bleed valve closest to the master cylinder. Allow air to flow into fluid reservoir until fluid level falls just to the maximum fill level on your reservoir. Close the bleed valve and tighten to specified torque.
When complete, release pressure by slowly loosening the pump cap. Remove the cap from the fluid reservoir, taking care to avoid spilling any fluid that remains in the tube.
Replace fluid reservoir cap on your vehicle, checking that the fluid level is at the maximum level indicated on the vehicle reservoir.
Before driving your vehicle, carefully check for leaks and test for proper brake operation.
DO NOT store hydraulic fluid in bleeder. Always dispose of excess fluid properly in accordance with local authority regulations.
