syringe method of brake bleeding

[ironsheik]

So I've been reading about all the tips for bleeding brakes and I really want to use this method as I'm pretty sure there's still some air in the system that I can 't extract but I can't find syringes for sale anywhere. Someone said the paint section of Home Depot but those folks don't know anything. Are they called something else there? I couldn't see any. Can someone tell me exactly what to use? Thank you very much.

Syringes are medical equipment; they are used by hospitals, dialysis clincis and Biomedical technicians. I am not versed with the brake bleeding technique but a 500ml syringe sould be sufficient.

You can either use a phoenix injector(www.brakebleeder.com) or a mityvac(www.mityvac.com) to perform this type of brake bleeding.
The phoenix injector site has a quick start guide located here http://www.brakebleeder.com/manuals/cycle_qs.pdf
that tells you how to bleed motorcycle brakes. If very helpful when trying to bleed your brakes.

ya, if you could lift it . the best overall size would be a 60ml. but anything over a 10 will do. if you can, get glass. the fluids tend to make the plastic ones stick.

i got the idea from bwringer to get a large syringe for measuring 2 stroke engine oil. it works very well.

I actually went into a pharmacy to see about buying a syringe and they totally thought I wanted to shoot up! They wouldn't give me one. New York City is really annoying some times.
