Electric Pressure Bleeder for all mercedes benz brakes?

Question

Hi
I would like to buy a pressure bleeder for the brakes which will do all mercedes benz and its light commercials and cars with sensitive braking systems. Do I need an electric pressure bleeder? The pressure bleeders that I have come across use a 20 L container. Is there a hand pressure pump which does the same job with a low capacity container?
Any advice will be appreciated.
can you recommend one?

Answer 1

hey necessity is the mother of invention:
what i did is take the caps off of various defective master cylinder reservoirs and drill a hole in them and install a shop air-line fitting [we happen to use the same fitting that snap on uses with their cylinder leak down tester] but you may have to purchase ones for this purpose.
fill reservoir to almost full and install your cap now turn the cylinder leak down tester till it reads 100% leakdown and connect to reservoir cap [place shop rags around master cyl and use a fender cover to protect painted surfaces] now open regulator slowly to approximately 90%-75%[remembering that the dial is a reverse printing] indicated on dial.
now bleed as usual noting that you will have to refill the reservoir periodicaly [best checked after each brake is bled]
Note #1 volvo, bmw, peugoet,porsche,v.w. and mercedes use the same style,size, and thread caps so making just one will do all of these
Note #2 the plastic reservoir comes off of most of these master cyl's easily [this makes them easy to clean, so old contaminated fluid wont degrade your repair] also be warned that if you get"radical" with the regulator you can blow off the entire reservoir and make one HELL of a mess.
Note #3 doing this has served me well for many years now and i have been cautious to not make any mistakes, it is also fast, easy, and cheap and above all reliable and even above that gives a new [paying] job to an existing tool.

Answer 2

I recommend you examine it your self or a pal because of fact it somewhat is rather ordinary. you merely take out the wheel, you look on the brakes and look at them. If there is something incorrect, the two order new brakes on line( you will get some low priced) or pass to the Mercedes broker.
