New tool for bleed clutch and brakes

[priobe]

I came across this tool which is simular to the mini-vac but claims to be better. This system is called the Phoneix System.

Here is the URL

I just placed and order for this tool. The guy claims it will resolve and brake bleeding problem and eliminate all air in the system. He explained that all systems still have air after bleeding unless you bleed the system from the bleed screw up to the reservoir.

I purchased it and will let you know how it works.

Has anyone heard of this tool?

I purchased one of those units back in '99 when I built my first Cobra. You'll love it and it sure make bleeding brakes a one man job!

Hmmm, that's a lot like the way we "bled" the brakes on my Mooney years ago...except we used a new oil squirt can with a rubber hose hooked up to the bleeder, pumped the fluid upstream until the bubbles quit. cost was about $10.
Let us know how it works.

I will definitly let you guys know how it works. I have been battling a bleeding issue with my brake and hoping this will help out with the problem.

FYI,

I had the brake M/C chromed. I think the process change the characteristics of the M/C which is causing it to leak from the piston inside the footbox.

This company that I am purchasing the Phonenix pump also has a hone tool for 3/4 bore and 7/8 bore for the M/C. I am hoping that this will solve my leaking problem along with the seal rebuild kit.

The oil can is the best bleeder around, especially for hard to bleed items like clutches. Fill the tube prior to installing on the bleed screw and use clear tubing to avoid reintroducing air when can runs low.
