OEMTOOLS 27311 Power Steering and Brake Bleeder Kit, Removes Air from Fluid Lines After Repairs, Vacuum Adapter Kit for Reservoir Bleeding, Compatible with Most Pumps and Systems

I bought this kit hoping one of the two adapters would fit on my power steering reservoir and one did. I recently replaced the power steering pump, high pressure hose and the steering rack on my 2016 GMC Acadia and the new pump was noisy after multiple attempts to bleed the system by turning the wheel from lock to lock. I bought this kit since I already had a hand vacuum pump (pump is NOT included with this kit) and figured I would try it. It definitely helped as the pump is quieter but not dead silent like it should be. There is a good chance the pump I got is defective and should probably be warrantied out. If that is the case this kit will be needed again. As far as using it to bleed and/or flush the brake fluid, you get three different attachments with the kit so it should cover most bleeder screws on calipers. I could see this working well to remove a stubborn air bubble trapped in a caliper but for a full on flush and bleed, the two person method or pressure bleeding from the master cylinder will work better. Gravity bleeding is also an option if you aren’t in a hurry. Nice little container, plenty of clear hose and an extra o-ring seal is included for the cap on the container. The power steering reservoir adapters are worth the $20 for this kit alone.

Does not fit 2000 Ford Ranger! Great product, but both adapters are too small.

As a professional mechanic I needed a way to better bleed the air from a power steering system on a Chevrolet Traverse. I saw this and for the price I thought I would give it a try. The tool function like it was supposed to and I did get a large majority of the air from the power steering system. My only complaint is with the adapters. I feel rubber of the adapters should be a little softer which would give a more air tight and secure seal. Better yet if the adapters were like the design of some coolant bleeders with an expandable adapter that once tightened would be secure and free from leaks. Again the tool is decent and I will use it again since I own it.

The price is right, but the case is basically useless. The main reservoir which uses a cap with fittings sticking out on each end does not fit in it's designated location. The fittings stick out too much, and does not fit nicely inside the case. At first I thought this was the problem with why I could not latch the case closed, but no... The latches are poorly designed, so they interfere with the case closing properly! OEMTOOLS normally does a nice job with their cases, so this was a big head-scratcher... The sticker that identifies the contents just peels right off - it's not designed to stick to this type of plastic. On top of that, the (colored) sticker is used on the BOTTOM of the case...WHAT? The case is already embossed on top, but since there is no color contrast, it's very hard to read. Well, if you're going to use it a lot, you'll get used to it, right? We are talking about tools...right? So, items are functional, but the case is just a waste of time...

Product received was product ordered. It arrived in great condition and works well.

The plugs leak air through the center even when pressed into the cap tightly. Junk. I would have returned but I modified it so it would not leak. My guess is the rubber is too stiff in the cold to seal properly.

No complaints from me. I specifically bought this kit to bleed the power steering system on my 4th Gen RAM 3500 after repairs. It's difficult to get the air out any other way with the hydrobooster, and the single Mopar bleeding adapter is more than double the cost of this set. The narrow cone fit the reservoir perfectly and I was able to easy maintain a vacuum to specification. Totally worth it to me. As for the complaint about the blow-molded case not holding the ported lid for the cup, that's true but is fixed simply by taking a flat file to the end of the ports. One stroke of the file to each port to remove a little material was all it took to snap into the case. Where this kit really shined is when I used it to bleed the hydrogears on my zero-turn mower after changing the filters and fluid!

Hose is not made for power steering. Diameter is too small and will not accommodate 3/8.

My steering was noisy when turning due to an air lock in the system. With this tool, I was able to rectify the issue and I am now a happy driver. Great tool and very easy to use. Wish it could come bundled with a handheld vacuum pump. I had to buy that separately. However, I like the quality of this product and seller was also quick to ship. Whole transaction was smooth. I would recommend buying from this seller.

This product works perfectly for what I was using it for. I needed to bleed my power steering pump of air. The rubber fitting supply worked as indicated. There are two rubber seals supplied which will cover most reservoir opening sizes

Used to bleed a GM power steering system. After 14 inHG it leaks through the fitting in rubber cone. Not good. Tried to seal it with silicone and still no good. Needs to be a better design. Not worth the money if it doesn't work.
