Huh. I had a MightyVac and didn't find it too helpful. Perhaps you'll have a better experience.

The Motive units push fluid through, rather than pull.

You top off your resevoir, then dump the rest of the brake fuild in the Motive unit, hook the unit up to the resevoir, then pressurize it. And that's it.

The hardest part is jacking up each wheel and opening the bleeder.

If you're using a MightyVac, when you do your clutch, make sure to have the resevoir topped off completely, and watch it closely - the intake for the clutch is at the side of the resevoir and with the front of the car jacked up, there's only maybe a 1/4" of fluid or so before the intake's sucking air. Drove me crazy. Just when you think you have all the air out, it starts spurting bubbles. You go look at the resevoir and your level is too low. Start over... Took forever.
