V-12 diy

The tool that you have pictured is called the V-12 DIY Phoenix Injector. It is a very useful tool if you are removing air bubbles from your brake or clutch system that is causing a mushy brake pedal or clutch engagement problems. This tool is a hydraulic hand pump that can perform both vacuum and positive pressure techniques that allow you to bleed all hydraulic systems. Some of the fears I read were pushing contaminated fluid back up through the system. The tool operates at 10 PSI which is normal brake system pressure. Contamination by pushing fluid back to the master was caused by using a pair of channel locks to push the piston back in the caliper creating 90 PSI thus dragging all manner of contaminates hard and soft back to the master and ABS. This could have been avoided if the soft hose had been disconnected or at the very least the bleed screw opened. I also notice that people confuse flushing with bleeding. Flushing is exchanging old fluid for new fluid this can be done by vacuum at the bleed screw or pushing fluid down from the master. Bleeding is removing air from your system. The best way we know how is by pushing fluid into the bleed screw and back up to the master. Go to brakebleeder.com and look around there is lots of info and videos
