Motive bleeder Toyota adapter

I have used this adapter for several years now. It recently started leaking a very small amount of fluid at the base of the swivel. I'm sure it will only get worse.
Has anyone had this leak and figured out what will fix it?

Since almost everyone in my family drives Toyotas I use the shit out of this adapter. Just not wanting to spend $80 replacing when possibly just an O-ring is needed.

 

Aren't those adapters made by Power Probe? You could give them a call, probably is just an o-ring.

 

Thanks, I'm waiting on a call back. They do not have this item on their website.
I'm thinking a trip to Ace hardware for all the O rings and circlip.

 

I now know why they say don't exceed 20 PSI.

 

Oh yea if you already have it apart to see the o-rings then check out the hardware store. Just keep in mind they might not have the proper kind of rubber that will be brake fluid resistant (I think EPDM is best) so you might have to special order from a place like McMaster-Carr. But if Power Probe gets back to you maybe they have a cheaper rebuild kit available.

 

I got an Ares 18003 awhile ago - haven't used it yet so can't tell how well or even if it works, but it is nice looking and hefty. It swings open and locks with a pin. You can get in on Amazon for about $50.

 

Hopefully Power Probe can at least give me the sizes I need if they they don't have a rebuild kit.

 

Anything over 8-10 psi is unnecessary

 

If I can bleed brakes fast at 8psi just think how fast I could do it at 80psi

 

I would do both rear brakes at the same time, same with the front. I never went over 18 PSI but you are right, 10 PSI would work.
Although it would take twice as long. Actually gravity feed works, no bleeder needed but not my thing.

 

Damn at 80 PSI I could do all four corners in 5 minutes!

 

Thanks, I'm thinking $5 in O rings may be better. That is if I can find the correct ones.

 

maybe a little teflon tape on the bras fitting would help?

 

Maximum efficiency. I like it

 

I don't put any fluid in the Motive, I just use the pressure and keep an eye on the reservoir. Way less messy.

 

I'm not sure I understand your procedure. Can you please explain your process? Thanks

 

He fills the reservoir then uses the motive to pressurize the system, when the fluid in the reservoir gets low, he refills the reservoir then pumps it up again with the motive.

 

Sounds more labor intensive but if it works all good. Thanks!
