are you related to Andy Kaufman? You can make big$$$ by impersonating him.
Why do you call it the ManClub?
…where is the man?
I didnt see you pump the brake? With mityvac you dont need to pump the
brake??
How many quarts do you need for 04 accord v6 manual transmission?? Need
response fast
To avoid any potential warranty issues, I suggest using Honda fluid. Once
you’re out of warranty, you can test other brands. The hand pumping $40
would be fine…. ManClub just likes trying tools out, so I got a
commercial grade bleeder.
Great job man!! Very good info!
I have a 20 gal Ingersoll Rand. But the specs on the MityVac are: working
pressure: 60 – 150 psi (4.1 – 10.3 bar) Vacuum @ 90 psi (6.2 bar): 26 in.
Hg (88 kPa) Air Consumption @ 90 psi (6.2 bar): 4.3 cfm (2.0 l/s) I really
think the smaller pancake type compressors would run it. 4.3cfm isn’t that
much. Hope this helps!
try a turkey baster next time… you don’t need a vacuum or whatever that is
@elpelotero83 Honda used to do it mileage based, but now the do it as part
of the Maintenance Minder. I change mine every 30K miles.
The model I’ve used is probably more like a commercial/professional unit.
You can get cheaper ones, for sure…
honda MTL is one thing but do you really need honda brand brake fluid? and
how does this kit compare to the hand kit sold for 40$
Would you mind telling me the specs of your air compressor? I’m planning on
purchasing this unit, but I’d like to know if my compressor is adequate.
Thanks!
I like the mityvac because it’s fast removes all the dirty fluid and it’s a
one man operation. This item saves time it refills the reservoir and it
runs off my air compressor. I would recommend this item to anyone. I
purchased the Phoenix bleeder for brake lines that have spongy brakes. The
phoenix injector does a good job at fixing brake systems with spongy brakes.
is better than the 50$ one ?
Very nice vid man. I need to get me one of those pumps.
The mityvac creates its vacuum by using an air compressor. If you don’t
have an air compressor, there are some modestly priced hand pump units out
there that do the same thing. Thanks for watching, fellow Texan!
Do you know how often we are suppose to do this? Every how many miles?
Thanks for are your helpful videos.. Ed from Los Angeles, California
@aescylos While I agree that a turkey baster would remove fluid from the
BMC, the tool does both that and the bleeding portion without the need for
a second person. Sometimes, it’s all about the tools!
cool
I was thinking the same thing. Thanks for sharing!
hello there, how does the mityvac operate? like does it operate on
batteries or does it need to be connected to a power outlet?
I own the same mityvac as well a a Phoenix systems reverse bleed hand unit.
I like the mi
Have you done a coolant flush on Honda Accord?
I can’t speak about drum brakes…Both of my vehicles are 4 wheel disc
brakes. As far as the bubbles, I think that’s just air sneaking in where
the hose fits over the bleeder valve. I’m sure your brakes feel a lot
better now. Thanks for watching!
I bought the $40 hand pump one. I noticed alot of air bubbles in the hose.
I can see a couple in your video. Is that normal? In the end I still
manually did it just to be 100% certain. Also this doesn’t work very well
with drums. Worked fine on the front of my Accord, but didn’t pull much
from the rear.
A video is worth a ten thousand words. Thanks
