Mini Brake Bleeder

I just came across someone using this little tool, which I hadn't seen before, it was so easy to bleed the brakes at the track without taking off the wheels, I am really impressed. So just passing some information:

I assume 11mm should work on F80? If so, I am going to order one for my up coming track day as well.

Thanks OP for the link.

Cheers,

I got the 11mm. That is what the bleeder valve is listed as, but I didn't test it.

Mine arrived yesterday. It will probably be 2-3 weeks before I test it out on my F80.

I used mine today. It worked, but I had to wack it with a hammer to open the bleed screw.

Saw this before, and looks intriguing, but be careful using it without taking the wheel off. Brake fluid does a number to painted surfaces. I would wouldn't risk it.

I have the Motive bleeder and love it for one manned brake fluid bleeding.

I had the wheels off changing to track tires/rims so all was good on that front.

I finally figured out the torque specs for the 11mm bleeder screws. 9-11 ft-lbs. Got my Motiv Black Label pressure bleeder and extractor.
