I’m going to buy a power bleeder. Which model do you recommend?
I want to be able to do brakes, clutch, and lockers.

I've tried the vacuum based bleeder - doesn't work well on these breaks. And it was a quality bleeder.
I've also invested in the pressure based bleeder, works far better but you have to have air tight caps
on the reservoir.

Which model did you buy? Aeromotive has different versions. Metal caps, swivels, etc…
Is there a feature you wish you had or should avoid?

Motive Power Bleeder with quick disconnect accessories.
This works under pressure not vacuum, works OK.

Sounds good. What size cap do you use? The “European “ kit includes a 45mm cap. Is that the right size for all three?

I think it was the 45mm cap, specifically for the middle cap on the brake reservoir.
I don't use this on the Clutch or Lockers, I find it too restrictive a space to get in there.
You may have better luck.

I just made one with a garden sprayer. Youtube is your friend.
