S10 Swap how to

[dsraven]

I use a bleeder like the lisle tool I got from princess auto. I use a nylon cable tie to ensure the hoses stay put and then place a longer section of clear urethane hose on the inlet and outlet, with the cable ties in place, on each hose so that the little bottle can become overfull and the fluid will simply drain down the extra hose instead of spray straight up out of the exit hole. you can buy different colored urethane hose, which is way more flexible than the vinyl hose that comes with, so you will easily know which hose is the inlet and outlet at a glance. I 1/2 fill the bottle, place that whole thing into an old coffee can so any spills or overflow will be contained. it is cheap, clean and works well for bleeding by yourself. when done, spill out the overflow, put the lid on the can and it is easy to store so dust and dirt stay out. I do enough brakes, usually, so I don't worry about draining, cleaning everything out etc but if you are just doing a single vehicle then it is good to clean it all up with brake clean and put it away.
