Default How to use brake fluid reservoir tool

Guys, how do I use this tool? I thought there would be instructions on how to use it in order to do a brake fluid flush, but there isn’t.

Looks like an adapter for a pressure bleeding tool, like so:

You don't need a pressure bleeder to flush the brake fluid, though. You can just do it the old fashioned way.

It's an adapter for a pressure bleeder.



I usually pressurize the bleeder and bleed air from the hose before connecting it to the bleeder adapter. This minimizes the air introduced into the MC/brake fluid.

Depressurize the bleeder BEFORE removing the bleeder hose from the adapter. Don't drip brake fluid on any painted surface. It will bubble and remove the paint.

Bleeding is a bit more controllable the old fashioned way (see attached) and will minimize the risk of getting a DOT-3 shower.
