anyone have any knowledge how an old EIS pressure bleeder works?
i have had this forever, probably close to 40 years now.
last time i used it was probably 30 years ago, because i almost always had someone with me either here or at the shop.
i went to use it today, and can not get anything out of it. it has 1/2 gallon of fresh brake fluid in it, and i put 50 lbs air pressure on bottom.
it is holding air, but all i get out of the hose is 3-4 drips when i open the valve..
and of course, i need it today because i have no one to help me bleed the brakes.
Man I remember those things----there was a lot of similar things being pushed on shops, an early way to reduce the labor force.
Had a shop at the time but couldn't justify spending whatever those cost--body repair only.
I recently bought a cheap thing from Auto Zone that worked incredibly well--another of the one-man brake bleeding things. Brand is OEM, p/n 25036--less than $10, limited lifetime warranty too. Its worth looking into, works in a pinch.
i actually fixed it sort of. a bug built a nest in the hose sometime over the past 30 years and plugged it up.
i took the hose off and tried air and nothing came out, so i tapped the hose with a rubber mallet and it started to blow air. and crap out of the hose.
i am going to run a piece of bailing wire through it and see if i can open it up before buying a new hose.
forgot all about this thread until i was looking up parts for someone else and this thread popped up in the search. i ended up just cleaning the hose and it has been working perfectly since.
i had to make a few modifications to get the old mayonnaise jar master cylinder adapter to work on the ford plastic master reservoirs, but it has saved me a lot of time with stubborn systems.
