Motive Power Bleeder
 
I am looking at getting one of these to make bleeding easier but have a question on fitment. Does anyone know the part number or what adapter is needed to allow use of this? Anyone have it that can point me where they bought it would be great too. Not sure if Subaru or Toyota designed the master cylinder or if it is unique for each car ( I have an FR-S).

Thanks!

Subaru/Evo/Z fitment master cylinder adapter is the one you want.

So glad I got myself one of these...

Been using this for years with my other cars... it makes life so much easier.

Has anyone had problems getting their cap to seal properly on the brake fluid reservoir? I had the same 1107 adapter that I used for my old 350Z, but the cap isn't sealing correctly for the BRZ. I tried replacing the o-ring and that still didn't help. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

I was having the same issue as well. When I was checking for leaks the PSI would always slowly go down to below 5PSI. The solution I used was to pump to 13PSI and then bleed a caliper and then check and pump back up if it goes down.

n8dog11914 06-27-2013 09:41 PM

I am having trouble even getting it up to around 10 psi to start. I can't even walk away from it before it drops to 0. It had no leaks before and I'm fairly certain the cap is on their fully.

OrbitalEllipses 06-27-2013 09:44 PM

Mine works fine, getting the Motive cap on the MC has always been a bitch.

Maybe the threading on the cap is wrong or cross threaded? They are both plastic. Can you hear where the pressure is escaping?

i had the brass coupling crack on me not to long ago, might wanna check that.

supramkivtt2jz 07-02-2013 06:28 PM

i can verify ford master cylinder caps are the exact same as what is on our car

Has anyone been able to find an adapter to fit on the clutch master cylinder reservoir cap?

As previously stated the 0107 model (350 Z, other Jap imports) works fine. I have used it several times, just like on my old Subaru, with NO issue.

If you already have a pump, but with a differet MC adapter then the Ford Racing adapter will work.

I realize the 0107 is for the BRAKE and I have already ordered one. My question is about the CLUTCH.

OrbitalEllipses 05-06-2014 03:35 PM

My apologies! I clearly did not read.

1101 is a Universal Adapter Kit that you will have to tighten with wingnuts and such, but should work fine once you've done that. This is what Motive itself suggests.

Scenic Driver 05-06-2014 05:31 PM

The universal adapters work fine, I use the round one on the master cylinder. Just make sure you test for a good seal by pressurizing the bleeder without fluid first.

that was my experience. It was tight as a... never mind.

Xero-Limit 05-06-2014 07:13 PM

A little tip for anyone using one of these: You can do this without putting the brake fluid in the bleeder. Just use it to pressurize. You will need to refill the reservoir a few times to fully flush the calipers, but it is far less time consuming to do that compared to cleaning out the whole thing, or risk contamination if the last guy who used it didn't clean it properly.

Motive Power bleeder adapter part number?
 
@supramkivtt2jz @OrbitalEllipses @JDKane527 @moto-mike

I came across this thread and ordered the following bleeder from Amazon:

[ame="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002KM5ME/ref=pe_385040_30332190_TE_dp_2"]http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002KM5ME/ref=pe_385040_30332190_TE_dp_2[/ame]

The Model number of the Bleeder is (0107) but on the adapter it says (1107),, It seems like adapter is not compatible and the cap won't stay on the reservoir..(Brakes fluid)

Has anyone else had the same issue?

JDKane527 08-19-2014 04:21 AM

Do you push down all the way before rotating to get it to seal? The pn sounds correct, check the adapter mounting tabs to make sure they are in good condition.

If you can post a picture of the adapter that may help.

The part numbers are correct. It could be the o-ring being too thick. I think they also supply a thinner o-ring so that you can press the cap down far enough to twist and lock.

I am not sure I tried without the o-ring but still no luck..
Would you be able to take a picture of the adapter with and without o-ring?

G_Rossney 06-04-2015 01:21 PM

There is also a 0117 kit. It has a metal cap versus the plastic cap. I've emailed Motive regarding the differences and the metal cap unit is supposed to be better and if you plan to bleed more frequently then occasionally, it's the way to go.

Myself, we have a track car and hope to be adding a second to the stable soon. We try to bleed brakes after each track day and will do a full flush once a year (at least). I'm leaning towards the 0117.

Info on the dry method:
http://rennlist.com/forums/993-forum...ethod-use.html

I've been using the dry method for some time and find it way easier to do. The brass coupling was the source of leaks, so I cut it off and replaced it with a quick disconnect couplings.

Quanye 09-26-2017 12:13 AM

just did a research,
adapter 1107 is the way to go
Amazon is selling it too
