Let's give Temu's finest brake bleeding equipment a go, first up I use the pump up brake bleeder kit.



And now finishing the job off, moving on to gravity bleeding the clutch, and finally reviewing all the cheap brake bleeding tools and equipment I bought through Temu.



Overall, I'm super happy with all my purchases, especially the pump up brake bleeder kit that's proves itself to be a real game changer when 'one man' brake bleeding

Useful info Dave . Now ordered the Temu brake bleed kit. Just one question though, after completing brake bleed did you find master cylinder reservoir over filled after removing the adaptor cap?

Dave and Richard, I was at my local recycling plant about 18 mouth ago and the couple next to me was throwing one of these away. I grab it of them before it touched the ground. I will be honest at the time i wasn't to sure what it was, but i got it home and had a read. Couldn't believe my luck. When i opened the box up, you could clearly see it had never been used. When i spoke to the lady at the tip she told me her Dad had died about a year earlier and her Mum had recently made the decision to 'clear the shed out'. Quite sad really!

Yes Richard, that's why you'll need what I call my Temu 'Naughty Nurse' syringe

It's all covered in the second video

Dave.

Sorry Dave missed that but have such a syringe used for that very purpose.

I'm reminded that Rachel from accounts is going to be scrapping de minimis tax free imports as has Trump. Good that this modest purchase will escape. All a bit silly IMO when the paperwork will far exceed the items cost.

I think pressure bleeders are fantastic and they are very easy to use. For years I used the Gunson easy bleed... A pain because you have to use a tyre/wheel to provide the air pressure and so you have to have a tyre with a pressure of no more than 20 psi. How ever the volume means you don't have to recharge the pressure as you flush the system. I have since moved up to a far more sophisticated system which is much simpler to use and you can store your reservoir fluid in the tank safely without emptying, so cleaner to use! But the temu option is good for occasional use and if you look around it's being marketed for anything up to £100 from varying outlets!

The biggest tip I would suggest when using these systems is to first check the pressure patency of the system when connected and pressurised with the reservoir empty. If you have a leak it will be obvious and you won't squirt brake fluid everywhere. When satisfied you can depressurise and fill the reservoir to start your required work.
As Dave said .... the caps supplied are rubbish, you might be lucky but I never have been, so get a proper replacement cap and make your own using the coupling supplied with the set.
When you have finished and depressurised the system carefully remover the cap, Don't panic you won't have fluid running everywhere. It will be full to the top but won't overflow. I then use a standard 20ml syringe a couple of times to lower the level to accept the level sensor of the vehicle cap.

Once you've mastered this method of bleeding you wont go back to shouting at the wife..... promise.

I have to say the Temu pump up pressure bleeder is a game changer on many levels, but for £20.00 divered it's an absolute no-brainer!

So, while I gravity bled Monty's clutch on this occasion, I've just ordered a spare AP/Lockheed clutch resevior cap that I'll set a male quick release airline fitting in.

Next time arround this will allow me to pressure bleed Monty's clutch hydralics too


NB: I never played well with the very amateur quality Gunson Eezeblled system, the caps were terible and it leaked everywhere, overall in my opinion it's a very poor effort. And it even costs more than the Temu pump up kit that's infinitely better made, why would anyone pay more for less?

Sometimes my 'glamorous assistant' insists on sitting in the Mog with a cuppa and a book and allegedly dosen't hear the up - down - wo - hold, so I have to shout, even if it's just to save twenty quid

Spare clutch fluid resevoir cap, £4.00 delivered.



I'll be adding a male air line fitting so I can now use the Temu pump up pressure bleeder on Monty's clutch hydraulics, as well as the brakes
