Thexton US/Metric Master Cylinder Bleeder Kit (804)

Description

The Thexton US/Metric Master Cylinder Bleeder Kit (804) is an essential tool designed to simplify the critical process of bench bleeding a master brake cylinder. This kit provides a straightforward and efficient solution for both professional mechanics and automotive enthusiasts. By effectively removing trapped air from the master cylinder before it is installed in a vehicle, the Thexton 804 helps ensure a solid and responsive brake pedal, preventing the “spongy” feel that often results from air in the lines. Similar in function to the Thexton 803X, this model features economical plastic adapters, making it a cost-effective and practical addition to any workshop.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Comprehensive Adapter Set: The kit includes a wide array of plastic adapters for both US (SAE) and metric master cylinders, ensuring compatibility with a broad range of domestic and import vehicles. This versatility eliminates the need for multiple specialized tools.
• Facilitates Proper Bench Bleeding: By allowing for the thorough removal of air bubbles on the bench, this kit simplifies the final bleeding process once the master cylinder is installed. This reduces the time and effort required to achieve a properly functioning brake system.
• Prevents a Spongy Brake Pedal: Air trapped in the master cylinder is a primary cause of a soft or spongy brake pedal. Using the Thexton 804 to bleed the cylinder on the bench ensures that the fluid is free of air bubbles, leading to a firmer and more reliable brake feel.
• Durable and Practical Components: While the adapters are made of economical plastic, the components are designed for effective use. The complete set, including the hose, thread gauge, and holder, provides everything needed for the job.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• US (SAE) Adapters: Two 3/8-24, one 7/16-24, one 9/16-18, one 9/16-20, two 1/2-20
• Metric Adapters: Four M10x1.0, two M10x1.25, one M11x1.5, two M12x1.0, one M12x1.5, one M13x1.5
• Included in the kit: The product includes the assorted plastic adapters, a hose holder, a hose, a thread gauge, and a set of instructions.

HOW TO USE:

• Secure the master cylinder in a bench vise, ensuring it is level and stable.
• Using the included thread gauge, identify the correct adapter size for the two ports on the master cylinder.
• Select the appropriate US or metric plastic adapters from the kit and screw them securely into the master cylinder ports.
• Attach the hose to one of the adapters and guide the open end of the hose into the master cylinder’s fluid reservoir.
• Fill the reservoir with the recommended brake fluid for the vehicle.
• Using a screwdriver or a similar tool, slowly depress the master cylinder’s piston. This will force fluid and any trapped air bubbles out through the hose and back into the reservoir.
• Repeat the process of depressing the piston until no more air bubbles are visible coming from the hose.
• Disconnect the kit, and the master cylinder is ready for installation in the vehicle.
