I learned the hard way - over many years - that the MityVac is an *awful* tool for bleeding brakes, regardless of how much they hype that use for it. Pressure bleeding is the ONLY way to go. My MityVac doesn't go anywhere near brake fluid anymore. I use it all the time for testing vacuum system components, and boost pressure related items.
If anyone needs the full MityVac Silverline kit, here's a great deal: http://www.thetoolwarehouse.net/shop/MIT-4050.html :-) -Dave M. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Wed, 21 Dec 2005 22:33:04 -0500 From: "Scott Ritchey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] MityVac Kaleb: If the silverline is the metal one and you get brake fluid in it, it will never be right again. Disassembly and cleaning may fix it for a while but the corrosion will come back. Disassembly is fairly obvious, as I recall; just don't lose any parts. I threw my silverline out and bought the cheaper plastic version; no problems yet but I also use a pressure bleeder now. Scott Ritchey Kittrell NC 1982 300SD 220K 1979 300TD 350K
