All-

Bought myself a Motive PowerBleeder a few months ago, just took it out of the box today as I finally got around to picking up the Akebono BBK kit... have the first wheel done, and the thing won't make any pressure... emailed Motive a few times and figured out the flapper valve that goes on the bottom of the pump shaft never got put on...

We're down a car, my wife's watching the kids, so I'm not going to start asking her to come out and help me on this (not yet, anyway!)- does anyone have one I could borrow, or know a local retailer (can't find online) where I could grab the part (?), have neither the time nor the inclination to hit the hardware stores to see if I could find something that fits.

Thanks

 

Just do it old school and have one of your friends pump the brakes and hold while you bleed.

I know if there is another way to do it I wouldn't put my car down until motive decides to send you the flapper and wait on the shipping

 

You can always go to Autozone and rent for free their bleeder. I believe it is a Mityvac.

 

I have a Motive Power Bleeder, where are you located?

 

Beer- I'm in north Dallas/Richardson... but am about to get my wife to do the dirty work
