Brake System Flush Question?

I have to flush the Brake System on my car because the fluids dirty and I‘m sure it‘s got moisture in it. I‘ve been reading about the type of Brake Bleeding Kits that operate on vacuum, like the MityVac Kit. I am thinking on making my own Bleeder Kit and my question is. Do you think that the Tom Aquatics Aqua Lifter—Dosing Pump would work for this? It‘s a Dosing Pump for freshwater or marine, salt water. I used to have one and they are a very strong suction pump. They have a canister Filter that can be used to. Seems to me like it should work???

Answer:

You could just get speed bleeders and keep the master filled till you get clear brake fluid coming out the bleeders. What maybe 5 dollars in parts. Keep the brake fluid out of the pump! the canister should help. A lot of pumps do not get along well with brake fluid.
it might work for a minute or so the brake fluid would eat that pump up i am pretty sure. just take you a coke bottle put enough fluid to cover the end of a piece of vacuum hose and let it bleed like that will take forever but if you don't want to buy the pump that is the only way i can think it would work. just make sure you keep the reservoir full so you don't run it out and get air in the lines
