Brake job...

[chaudanova]

Hi Jim, I took a look on the site that you linked for the Motive Power bleeders, and there is the European Power Bleeder, and the Black label European Power bleeder, Magnum, PRO, and universal power bleeders that I saw would work for Porsches. Any advice or suggestions from among these models all by Motive?

Thanks!

Hi,

Well they're all basically the same, some come with multiple attachments which you really don't need if you have only 1 car to use it on. When I bought mine, they just had the one model and you got the adapter suited for your car.

But, the only real fault I find with the Motive is that it doesn't have a swivel for the cap to the Master Cylinder, so you have to rotate the entire thing to screw/unscrew it from the MS.

With that in mind, I would buy the cheapest one and add this billet adapter which does swivel : http://www.********************************************/acatalog/Metal_Swivel_Cap_for_Motive_Products_Power_Bleeder .html You can also get the Motive from them at a pretty good price. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

I'll throw in another vote for the Motive Power Bleeder. I just replaced all the padss on my car last week. It's an easy job. If the car is a base Box, $480 sounds about right. If the quote is $480 for S rotors/pads, it's a steal! By the way, since you are saving some cash, I suggest spending a bit on some stainless steel brake lines. I swapped mine out and it made a big difference in the brake feel.
