This Sealey VS835 Pneumatic Fluid Extractor/Brake Bleeder is for DIY mechanics and professional technicians needing an efficient, one-person solution for brake fluid changes and extractions. Its key benefit is simplifying a often messy job with a standard workshop air supply. A potential caveat is the need for a compatible air compressor. This tool facilitates easy bleeding or complete replacement of brake fluid using its 2.5L capacity bottle and included extraction pipe, without requiring specialized reservoir caps. It's designed for broad compatibility with most brake bleed nipples and ABS systems.

While primarily designed for brake fluid, its extraction capability might be suitable for power steering fluid depending on viscosity and system type. Always consult your vehicle's service manual.
After emptying, rinse the bottle thoroughly with a brake cleaner or a mild solvent, followed by a rinse with clean water. Ensure it is completely dry before storage.
A standard workshop air compressor capable of providing consistent pressure suitable for pneumatic tools is required. Specific PSI requirements will depend on your compressor and the task, but typical workshop pressures are usually sufficient.
The tool is designed to fit most standard bleed nipples. However, specific adapters are not typically included. Ensure a snug fit before operation.
The VS835 is designed to work with most ABS systems. However, due to the complexity of some ABS hydraulic modules, it's always recommended to follow the manufacturer's specific bleeding procedures if available.
Please refer to the Sealey warranty documentation or contact your retailer for specific warranty information, as it can vary.
Ensure the air compressor is connected and providing adequate pressure. Check for air leaks in the hoses or connections. Verify the extraction pipe is correctly positioned and not blocked.
Confirm the bleed nipple is open. Ensure a good seal between the bleed nipple and the tool's hose. Check that the pneumatic system is functioning correctly by testing suction directly from the master cylinder.
Inspect all hose connections and fittings for tightness. Check the integrity of rubber seals and O-rings on the bottle and hose attachments. Replace any damaged seals.
Setup: Connect the tool to a standard workshop air compressor using the appropriate fittings. Ensure the air supply is clean and dry. Attach the extraction hose to the master cylinder reservoir and the bleed nipple hose to the caliper or wheel cylinder bleed screw.
Compatibility: This tool is designed to work with the majority of standard brake bleed nipples found on cars, vans, and motorcycles, including those integrated with ABS systems. No specialized brake reservoir caps are required.
Care: After each use, drain any residual fluid from the bottle and clean it with an appropriate brake cleaner. Inspect hoses and seals for wear or damage. Store the tool in a clean, dry environment. It is recommended to periodically check and clean the air intake filter if applicable to your air supply.
