Phoenix Systems 2104-BOT V-5 Light Duty Reverse Brake Bleeder with Refill/Capture Bottle

Works great. Used to bleed the clutch on and Audi s5 and the brakes on a 370z. Good enough quality to get the job done. Has different fittings. Take your time to setup correctly so there's no leaks. Pump the fluid first through the line, then connect to the bleeder screw on the car. Good luck

So this works good, bleeding from the bottom is better but most people that buy these type of things are bleeding stuff by themselves. You can do this by yourself but you need to keep an eye on the reservoir so you don’t over fill it.I bought this cause I had to change a brake line and caliper in a hotel parking lot. I have the style bleeder at home that you pressurize the reservoir and crack the bleeders. They work awesome. I didn’t want to buy something I already owned and had no help so I went with this style for this job. It gets the job done. If I had to choose one though I would go with the other style. Great product though

I purchased the Phoenix V-5 reverse bleeder from Amazon. When replacing the brake master cylinder on my daily driver, I removed the original master cyl and set-up the unit with intention to push old brake fluid back through the brake lines and into a catch container where the master cylinder had been. When using this devise, in an open system without resistance of the master cylinder, brake fluid was pushed right back out the threads of the bleeder screw rather than back through the open lines. I attempted to correct this by closing the bleeder and cracking it just the slightest, but then had the pressurized fluid from the hand pump pop the rubber adapter off the bleeder screw and spray brake fluid under the car. Needless to say, neither worked to reverse-bleed my brake lines, let alone just back flow/flush the open lines. This caused quite a mess and was waste of brake fluid. I did successfully bench bleed the new master cylinder using this devise. I completed the installation of the new master cylinder and attempted to vacuum bleed the system. Just as the attempted reverse-bleed had leaked around the threads of the bleeder screw, vacuum bleeding was unsuccessful using this device for the same reason. Air was simply being pulled around the screw threads rather than brake fluid being drawn through the bleeder screw. Traditional brake bleeding, with help from another person, was the only resolution for me. This tool failed 2 critical tasks that it is marketed to accomplish. For these reasons I am returning this item.

I was having trouble bleeding the brakes on a 2001 Silverado I updated with new rear brake calipers. The reverse bleed method resulted in the firmest brake pedal this truck has has since it was new. Because the reconditioned calipers had been soaked and plated I found the bleeder screws didn't have a tight thread fit. I ended up putting some thread tape on them and presto, I was able to force new fluid in and eliminate all the pedal sponge. This is a handy tool!

Works great for one person job with no mess. Fast and easy job would purchase again. Arrived 0n time. Recommend.

I replaced the brake lines and rebuild the master cylinder on my motorcycle and could not get it to start bleeding. the air in the lines would compress whenever you tried to bleed it and not come out of the bleeder screw. once I used the reverse bleeder a lot of air came out of the reservoir and now the brakes finally work.

I wanted one for a long time, finally got it and unfortunately I don't really care for it. It works somewhat, but not worth the price in my opinion.

One man brake bleed sounds great but if you can’t see the master cyl how do you know when bubbles stop coming out also it leaked bad out of each bleeder not the parts supplied with the kit the bleeder because they are not sealed so pushes fluid out the threads of the bleeder makes a big mess and pretty annoying then since I can’t see the master cyl it ends up overflowing and making a big mess and end up having to phone a friend to bleep the brakes the traditional way to get the air out …. But this does help get a large amount of air out but on most junk boxes you’ll make a big mess and probably end up calling for back up. I don’t think it was worth the price
