Traditionally, bleeding your hot rod’s brakes requires three people: One to pump the brake pedal, a second to work the wheel-cylinder bleeders, and a third to referee the inevitable brawl between the two of them! “I said hold the pedal, not pump it, you @&%#@!” “I’m only doing what you told me, you %&*#@!” It’s enough to piss off the Pope.
In the time-worn version, the master cylinder is used as a pump to force air bubbles down the brakelines where they exit through the bleeders. What’s wrong with this picture? In fluids, air bubbles rise. But with Phoenix Systems Reverse Fluid Injection bleeding process, a handheld pump pushes brake fluid, as well as bubbles, up to the master cylinder for a more effective evacuation. Best of all, it’s a one-man job.
