we have one and nobody uses it. It doesn't take long to ask somone to pump the brakes a dozen times.

i have one at the shop i work at and you pump it to create pressure in the lines, just like pressing the pedals. mine just clamps to the master cylinder resivoir and then a line comes off that to a hamd pump

the directions said something about keep pumping it untill u see no air in the lines. so im guessing the line is long enough so that when there is only clear fluid with air bubbles and u let off the brake itll only suck back in fluid with no air. its kinda hard to explain.

Those kits suck from my personal experience. It is no better than just using the tubing.

dont waste your money... how hard is it to just call up a buddy or neighbor to pump your brakes for you for 5 minutes of their time....
