I use the Motive as well on mine and it works great. Only caveat is to watch for leaks and don't use too much pressure. I used 15 psi for the bleed and it caused the top supply seal on my clutch master cylinder to leak. The supply side of the system (reservoir) is really not designed to be pressurized. When you take the Motive away, the leaks stop.

Eyal951, probably doesn't help you today since you need the car today, but you also might want to try one of the simple vacuum bleeders. You can pick em up at the local auto parts store and I think they are cheaper than the Motive (which is a pressure bleeder).

BTW, glad to hear you recovered from that oil seal and mocha mix problem. Car looks awesome !! Let me know if you are in the Bay Area!

i wouldnt worry TOO much about the master seals going because of that. ive done many brakes on my cars, and have bled them that way,i just go slow to the bottom,and it has always been fine, but i could just be getting lucky...

Another vote for the Motive from Paragon. Used mine at the track and took me 20 minutes to bleed all 4 brakes. Pick up some super blue and super gold ATE brake fluid, makes it easy to figure out when the old is out and the new is in.
