How I used the MOTIVE Power Bleeder for the ZL1 Camaro

[@fasnuf]

The MOTIVE 0108 is the complete assembly. Thank you for watching and check out my other videos!

Good video. But, I never put fluid in my Motive bleeder. I just use it for pressure and use the fluid in the reservoir. Keep filling it up between each wheel. Keeps things clean.

Great video!! Editing is rocking...… I love that motive power bleeder as it keeps putting fluid in as you remove it and you do not have to go back and forth to check the brake fluid. Only thing I do not like is they do not have caps for a lot of cars so you have to use the universal one and it leaks if not on perfect. I only go to about 10-12 psi and never had an issue. The leaking is the reason I use the mighty vac system which pulls the fluid through instead of pushing. The plastic also works as a fender cover to prevent scratching. By the way, people put too much worry into air . Reason I say that is, when you open the cap to fill what goes in? Air is trapped when you put the cap back on. The most important thing is to not let the level get too low. That is how the air gets in the lines.

Hey thanks. I really need to learn Fusion, That's where the real fun is. This was a hard video to make because I had so many mistakes in my recordings but needed to tie it all together to make sense. I tried this even at 20 lbs and the fluid moved so slow. 25psi it really started to have a flushing action but pressurizing stuff concerns me. When I did my cam build, I had plastic on both sides. Works great to prevent scratches as you said. cheap too. I had a friend get brake fluid on his Pro Street Mustang years ago. We saw it right away, but there was still permanent damage. Nasty stuff. I have a vacuum bleeder somewhere, maybe next time I'll try that. I appreciate you watching and commenting!

@@fasnuf You will like fushion because it is very detail oriented. For me, it takes too long and it takes a lot of computer power to run it. If you do not have a lot it can cause it to crash.

@@CamaroTime I run a Macbook and it does pretty good on the editing stuff...better than I do anyways. I used to be good at learning new programs but the past 10 years or so, they just seem so overly complicated!. DR is the same way to me. I watched a vid of a guy making a SUBSCRIBE animation from scratch. Whoowee! That was mind blowing!

[@CamaroTime]

@@fasnuf I agree. I do not learn as fast as I once did. It is really cool when they use the particle fallaway to make the titles and stuff disappear as well

You did a nice job. I’ll do the wet method. A little cleaning never hurt anyone. Thanks

[@rc51racer30]

Appreciate your attention to details! With all the projects you do on the Camaro have you thought about a lift in your garage? I installed one a few years ago and has made life much easier. Thanks again!

yes sir! kzbin.info/www/bejne/imeQmZKbfc-nopIsi=YYPWhlfWelVVBxl-

[@Flea02Cruiser]

Nice job! Well done, sir.

[@fasnuf]

Thank you

[@Airpaycheck]

Just make sure the Motive bottle doesn’t run too low!

[@danielwatson2068]

Nice video. Must say though for the sake of that 15-20 dollars.... It's well worth spending to get the bespoke screw on aluminum cap for the particular reservoir being used. So much more secure.

[@fasnuf]

Feel free to post a link to it in the comments. Thanks for watching.

[@danielwatson2068]

@@fasnuf KZbin keeps deleting my attempts to put in a link for some reason, but basically for late-GM the power bleeder kit with the aluminum cap is 0118 rather than 0108....and if just buying the cap separately the part number is 1118.

[@noelstrailridingxperience5279]

Is it the same process for the 13 zl1?

[@fasnuf]

They have the same braking system so I don’t see why not. Thanks for watching.

[@noelstrailridingxperience5279]

Thank you sir.

[@scurfie2343]

You can push, I would rather pull the fluid tills she's clean.

[@fasnuf]

True, I like the idea of pulling but don’t care for the bubbles that leak past the bleeder screw threads.

[@scurfie2343]

@@fasnuf I agree, but, the bubbles in the line are leaving the caliber and exiting into the drain container. I just ignore them.
