    Never had bled brakes before. Let's say brakes are all installed and do not need replacement but I want to change out my fluid. Can this be done without removing tires or brake hardware?

    I do not have a Motive Bleeder, but in days gone by, had one similar. It was a one-man system. I wonder why the Motive manual would say to do a two man bleed?

    Yes fluid can be flushed without doing pads/rotors or shoes and drums.

    Did you do your brakes?
    How did it work out?

    Not yet. I’ve got the cap and coupler for the motive. I many do the manual bleed first and see how that goes. Maybe next week.

    Does not matter, the Toyota and Snap on Solus units have a feature where you can activate the pump so as to bleed only the pump. Just roll the key to ACC if you have the electric master cylinder and want an easier time pushing the pedal... (for those of you who missed leg day A LOT):D
