DIY $2 Brake Fluid Bottle

[007GTCS]

So I was working on the brake system of the DD beater car aka the blue beast, and well I had an idea for a brake fluid bottle to bleed the brakes into. The best part is all it cost me was 2 dollars. Most of us could probably do it for free. I also used the Motive Power Bleeder System on this car and my Mustang. Highly Recommend it.

So let's start this.
Supplies:
2L Coke bottle, I used big k lemon lime cause I like to prevent scurvy
1 brake bleeder screw
1 drill bit the size of the brake bleeder. I used a step down bit.
1 small drill bit for an air vent hole.

1st get a brake bleeder from autozone, tool box, junkyard, whatever. I got mine from autozone. It was a 1.99 for both. Looks like this:

2nd take a hack saw and cut it right bellow the threads:

3rd drill in the center of the bottle cap so the brake bleeder will thread into the bottle cap. Then take a small drill bit and drill a vent hole.

Then you connect the whose between the caliper/drum and the bottle cap.
And there you go keep the cap and use your left over coke bottle as a fluid catch bottle. This worked very well for me. I didn't spill a drop and with the motive system you could really the old fluid being replaced with the new.

Hope this helps everyone!!
