Thinking about having my brake fluid changed on XK8 1999 and this time having it flushed by machine instead of old school bleeding each wheel off. But I am using Pentosin Super DOT4 like always. Any thoughts on the machine method? Dave in Tampa

 

What machine? I'm behind the times but to the best of my knowledge the only 'machine' used on a brake fluid flush is simply a pressure bleeder. Easier, faster....but I doubt that the end result is any different

I use Eezibleed which takes pressure from the spare wheel.



A reservoir for the new brake fluid and a one person operation as there is no pedal pumping required.

There are many other versions available based on this same principle.

I do the same, using a low pressure. Works fine for my car and should with these.

 

You have a few ways to go pressure or vacuum. I use vacuum.
