kit for pressure bleeding clutch and brakes
I need to bleed the clutch, and later on brakes. Anybody had luck with a pressure bleeder, e.g. Motiv? The web page does not list Nissan specifically. I'm having a hard time figuring out how to attach a hose to the clutch reservoir (not a threaded connection, just a squeeze-on cap).
Thanks.
Thanks.

The motive was the best money I spent.. Found mine on Amazon, got it in like 3 days.. Cheaper than anywhere else.. i forgot the part number but it uses a universal round top with j-hooks to hold it on the res...
I did my clutch mc with new ss line alone in like 10 minutes.....

I bought mine originally to jus get the job done then I planned on selling it..
Instead I bought the adapter to fit my truck n used it on that jus recently.. I don't think I'd part with it jus because it makes the job so much simpler.....1 man job trust me!

You can one-man the brakes, but not the clutch. Their universal adapter is crap imo. Some people will change the clutch reservoir in order to use the motiv bleeder there too.
350zion I'd love to see how you had it arranged; unless your year places the clutch reservoir in a different place than mine...

even for brakes the kits are a pain and dont work that well. i picked up the most expensive autozone kit and it didnt give me any confidence that the lines were bled correctly, i ended up waiting for a friend.if your friends are busy best bet is to go down to the 'illegal allien looking for work' street corner of your city and pick up someone that looks like they can get a peddle to the floor. youll be helpin out someone that needs a little cash and get the help you need.(tried to replace my brakes with my mom bleeding the brakes one time, she didnt have the strength to push the peddle all the down lol. ps no i dont live with the rents lol they just have a nicer garage than me) thought id share my experience.

The Motive works flawlessly, have used it countless times, and it's something anyone who does their own maintenance on their cars should have. Bleeds it effectively, quickly, cleanly and without incident.

I'm really pro-Motive.
Works great with the Nissan adapter. I had no problem using the universal adapter on the wife's former Honda.
The last thing I need is someone forcing the master cylinder seals all the way to the bottom where the sleeve has never seen wear. That, typically, requires a master cylinder rebuild in a short while.
Excellent product and I didn't have to rely on anyone. I've used it three times and I felt like the first time - it paid for itself.
