[QUOTE="ncnmra, post: 261086, member: 5569"] I'm generally new to car maintenance, but I bought a vacuum bleeder with hopes of maintaining my boat and Corvette brakes. I had lots of trouble with the vacuum bleeder, specifically pulling air bubbles from what I presume are the threads (this was on my boat trailer). I later found out that this is a very common issue so I dumped the thing. I made a simple one-man bleeder tool using an old soda bottle and some hosing. I ended up having my wife help me out and it was much simpler this way. I have read though that this method does not bleed the ABS system. I'm not sure how much effect that would have overall. From what I read, you need a special ODB tool to be able to actuate the ABS system to be able to bleed the fluid in there. [/QUOTE]
