Motive Bleeder

[aldug]

Has anyone used the Motive power bleeder to bleed their brakes on a Forester? If so, how does it work? What is the bleed sequence for AWD cars?

I haven't used the motive bleeder, but it should work.

 

The bleeding sequence is:

 

Left Front

Right Rear

Right Front

Left Rear

Is that sequence closest to master cylinder to furthest from master cylinder in order to expel the most old fluid?

for some reason thats the sequence that subaru recomends, as oppsed to the normal method of farthes first, then diagnally across to the front, etc.

would have to look up the bleed sequence but have used the motive products bleeder on a 928, corolla and 99 leg l sedan 2.2 5mt. the german cars have a screw-on master cyl cap, the japs just are a cap, so the product uses a couple of small chains on some j-hooks to hold the device to the top of the master cyl. the unit holds plenty of fluid, 2-4 qts, not sure. first, test the seal by pumping the tank tp 10 psi. that is all you use. if good seal, unscrew pump from tank, fill, pump to 10 psi and start loosening bleeder screws. have a catch bottle (8 oz oj/plastic) and some small tubing. it works and is worth the $$. i got the kit with 3 attachments including for american vehicles and it was like $80-100. you need one!
