Has anyone used the reverse brake bleed method? There are products online such as a Phoenix Reverse Bleeder available...

Any experience with this (these) products and methods?

 

Where it pushes brake fluid back out to the calipers from the MC? I’ve seen them used on other vehicles, but on a D2 I either use my Nanocom or my trail/roadside 15ft lead of wire with a toggle to bleed the brakes.

 

It works the opposite way... You push fluid from the calipers towards the MC. Requires less fluid, because any air in the system tends to rise. One person job and apparently very efficient.

 

Seems like a solution looking for a problem to me, at least for the DIY home mechanic. Maybe it'd be worthwhile for a shop where "time is money" is more important.

 

Yeah I saw it done, and walked away thinking to myself my 15ft lead and switch is so much easier lol.

 

What are are you controlling with the 15 foot lead

 

Jumping the ABS modulator pump & it will power bleed it.

 

Thanks.

 

Is there a specific location you jump power to? This interest me very much 😎

 

You use the Front & Back terminals once you remove the ABS relay. Then you make sure your reservoir is full, climb under the D2, flip your toggle switch, ABS pump will run, open the bleeder and flush the old fluid or air out. Tighten the bleeder, top off the MC, and move onto the next wheel. Quick and easy way to power bleed a D2 without any fancy scan tools.
