Those of you who have the speed bleeder, which model/part # did you get? I don't see the S2000 listed on their website.

Thanks!

Care to elaborate how you managed to make it work on the clutch resivior? I tried but failed. Once you get it in an ok spot the chain is not far enough back to catch.

Any pics by chance?
I'd like to see a picture also if anyone has gotten this to work.

It's the "universal" part. Don't remember the number.

I bought my power bleeder directly from the source, off the Motive Products website. It did show up broken, but they immediately sent me new parts. Works great.
Same thing happened to me! The cap was broken where the hose connects to it. They had a new one to me by the next day. I only live about 30 miles from them though.

I have a mightyvac and a motive brake bleeder. The Motive works better because the mightyvac suck in air around the threads. Its hard to tell when you have all of the air out of the system.

I started running the Motive without putting fluid in it. I tried to do bleed with fluid in it and it started leaking. Made a HUGE mess. It was easy enough to take the cap off and add fluid when needed while I was doing the bleed.

Best way to prevent leaking when finished using a pressure bleeder:

While the bleeder still has pressure, slowly unscrew the cap to fill the pressure bleeder. As you do this, it will suck all the brake fluid from the line going to the reservoir and pull it back into the bleeder container.

I've never had a spill using this method.

I never go that far with mine. About half way through the bleed mine started leaking - leaking so bad that it was all over the engine bay in the corner near the MC and all over my garage floor. I ended up dumping water in there and flush it all out. I was easier to clean up than I thought it would be when it first happened but it was still a HUGE mess.

I will be running it dry from now on unless they come up with a cap that screws on or I make a custom one. I found a couple threads about custom caps when I first ordered mine. I needed to get fluid back in the car fast though and didn

The cap leaks because of overtightening of it. Just tighten the hooks until the cap is snug.

I thought I was good because it was working just fine on the first two wheels. Then I pumped it back up to do the rears and it started leaking everywhere. It might have been too tight but it freaked me out enough that I wont be trying it again.

Sorry to bump an old thread but can anyone provide me with the model number or the adapter type used for the S2000.

This product worked wonderfully on my Evo but I recall that I had to order the Ford three prong adapter for it to mate up to the reservoir.
