    Is there anywhere or anyone that has a motive power bleeder bottle?  Any retailers sell these or something similar?  I'd like to do my front brakes today on my E46 but I want to bleed them as well and at this point its just me doing it.  I wouldn't mind having the motive power bleeder tool to help.  I would rather pay a couple bucks more than have to wait for shipping from ECS or TURNER.

        Works just as well for the intended job?

          I've never heard complaints.  My mom's boyfriend has one and I used it to do a fluid flush on his e36 m3 before a track day at RA.  It did what it was supposed to.

            I've seen the HF vacuum bleeders (mightyvac and the house brand) on the shelves but not a pressure bleeder. Must have missed this.

              This is on my list of tools to buy, a guy in Madison with a corvette recommend them to me. Will the universal fitting work? I know they have specific fittings for different reservoirs.

                I have a mityvac with the cup for vacuum bleeding, it works ok but I think a pressure bleeder would be better.

                  You can try Mueller Motorwerks to see if they have any in stock? I have one and it works pretty well.
