Brake Bleeder Kit

[_ExpeditionMan]

Does anyone know of a brake bleeder kit that will fit onto our 4Runners? It's always been a pain to do it alone and I was watching a video of a guy who ordered a kit for his FD RX7 that screwed onto his brake fluid reservoir which pumped clean fluid into the system by inducing a vacuum. He then could walk to each drain plug and unscrew it and wait for clean fluid and then close it up. It was super simple.

Anyone have any experience with a lot like this?

I think the most common methods of bleeding brakes alone are

1. vacuum bleeder http://images11.palcdn.com/hlr-system/WebPhotos/80/805/8050/8050832.jpg
2. speed bleeders

3. Gravity bleeding, open all lines and let it drip out while refilling the reservoir as needed

You can use a clear piece of tubing running in to a bottle that already has brake fluid in it. I have done this with the two person method. My worry is that air could be more easily introduced doing this solo.

gravity bleeding works very well, costs nothing, and can be done solo.

Thanks for all the help everyone. The kit you linked seems to be specifically for GM products. Are you sure this would work on the fluid reservoir for the 3VZE?

My bad, this is the correct kit for Toyota's I believe: https://www.amazon.com/Motive-Products-101-System-Bleeder/dp/B00CJ5DWKO/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1473203814&sr=1-1&keywords=motive+power+bleeder+101
That adapter looks like the one I've used, comes with a chain you strap around the MC to hold it in place.

You can get one on eBay for around $22. Just search for "One Man Brake Bleeder Kit"
