Yeah, me too, so I just ordered three of them. One for the 2010, and one for each of the '04s. After looking at the 10's, I'm sure the '04s are really bad looking! 4:I’d go new Supra - after all that grief getting the danged thing off - why risk having to do it all over again by doing a dodgey rebuild?
Indeed. The one on my 2007 was crap and it only had about 34,000 miles on it. The problem, I think is time and corrosion - not miles.Yeah, me too, so I just ordered three of them. One for the 2010, and one for each of the '04s. After looking at the 10's, I'm sure the '04s are really bad looking! 4:
They were $56 US each from Partzilla.Indeed. The one on my 2007 was crap and it only had about 34,000 miles on it. The problem, I think is time and corrosion - not miles.
Mine cost about $75 CDN at my friendly local Honda dealer - mind saying what you paid?

Indeed. I used a vacuum bleeder and it pulled a good deal of crap through the system. In fact this weekend, I worked on my Honda CX500 and one of the tasks was to install a new brake master cylinder and bleed the system. Using the vacuum bleeder we pulled A LOT of old dark fluid through from the hoses and caliper before the system ran clear - but it eventually did and a nice firm lever is the result.They were $56 US each from Partzilla.
The problem I see is that they do not get flushed out properly when you flush out the clutch. The fluid stays in the slave unit during a flush. I don't know how you would get it out with the current design. Even if you squeeze the clutch handle when flushing it, you're not going to get much out of the slave unit! 4:
I have a couple of the "handpump" vacuum bleeders, but I bought a A/C suction pump that I want to set up as a vacuum bleeder. Maybe that would suck the junk up out of the slave unit!Indeed.

My vacuum bleeder is an inexpensive unit from Princess Automotive - which is very much like Harbour Freight in the US. I think it cost around $60 CDN on sale and has been well worth it.
