2nd Chance Camaro - Let the Project Begin

[joeko23]

I’ve used a similar tool to bleed brakes and clutch. Only difference I see is my tool had a vacuum gauge on it so I could actually see how much psi I was pulling. I also bought a fitting that went on the power steering reservoir cap so I vacuum bled the power steering system as well. Not that I needed to?? The thing that bothered me when bleeding brakes is that none of the fittings fit tight enough over the bleeder nut on the calipers but then again maybe I was pulling too much vacuum (15psi) so I would always get air bubble rushing in. After bleeding 3 bottles of brake fluid I just called it good. Tried the brakes and they felt great. Drove the car around the block a few times and they felt great. Never felt spongy, same with clutch.

That is what I was hoping you would say as I would like to be able to bleed them by myself and not have to worry about always asking a friend to come over.

I have to ask, how many rolls of blue tape have you gone though so far? Haha

Honestly I have no clue and I have wondered that myself many times if I had to guess I would say a minimum of 3 possible 4.

This however deosn't count the two partial rolls I have in my toolbox.
