Mount a set of wheels on your ramp and you can wheel them back and forth and looks like you can store them upright. Nice.

I laughed when I read your quote and said to myself - Ahhh he knows from experience! AND any oil drips wipe up very easy! ;)

How does this fit in with the Volvo specified VCC - RBSO - 2AE 0W-20? My car is under warranty (2020 S60T6R) and Volvo is known to be sticklers when there are oil related failures. So how do I use the other oils and be covered under warranty? What does the Castrol and Liqui Moly Volvo specified...

As long as the vacuum is present, you see some air being let "in" PAST the threads and no air is entering the caliper. It's all physics. Keep in mind the vacuum pump is keeping a constant vacuum or suction. I have no reason to change things up at this point. I only wrote this for those who...

opinions vary I will stick with my vacuum pump set up. It works fast and well. I already had a vacuum pump and to by one for that purpose alone may not be worth your expense. I do 5 cars when due. What works for you is all that matters.

You should be able to get the surrounds replaced. There are several companies who do this. Speaker repair

I would NOT consider my set up explosion proof for fuel i.e. gasoline. I like that you can see what is happening as you draw oil in or adding oil with the motive. When I bleed my brakes, it's a two handed operation. One hand holds the box end wrench on the oil bleeder fitting and the other hold...

You are right about that. It's never been a problem but as it fills up the air bubbles go thru the oil. The purpose of the tube is so the oil does not get sucked into the vacuum pump. So yes I could trim 3 inches or so off the bottom of the tube. My vacuum pump has a oil level sight glass and I...

Real men snort oil dry.

I have a A/C vacuum pump and got to thinkin one day and having been around WWTP labs, I came up with this set up. The black hose is attached to the vacuum pump and the clear hose is pushed onto the brake bleeder.The long (brake line tube) tube keeps the oil from getting sucked into the vacuum...

I sometimes wonder in events like this that an unseen angel was sent to you and and whispered in your ear "I need that one tool,I'll go get it". And we unknowingly attribute it to our own thoughts.

Is there a needle valve that bleeds the oil to lower? I would explore that maybe the needle valve needs replacing. On my two aluminum floor jacks I don't quite have the dropping issue, but I do have to have (when I can) have the pump pipe at a 45 degree plus angle and grip with two hands and...

Do you own a vacuum pump?

Boy did I back into that one!! :geek: BOGO-P buy one get one Porsche!

I backed up on my ramps and was wondering where the engine went!!
