Motive Pressure Bleeder adapter for Hondas

[Snagglefoot]

I cruised the Motive website to find a pressure bleeder cap to fit the master cylinder for a 2009 Honda with a two prong cap. They no longer have a specific cap for the application but list this universal cap for the application. Mods, I took a series of screen shots so all the information is right here. Also shown are some shots of my cap. Has anyone tried this system? Thanks.

That generic Motive 1101 bleeder cap for a Honda is pure garbage! It is only good for blowing brake fluid all over your engine bay.

You will need to adapt a Honda specific cap like the CM Tools Cap to your Motive pressure bleeder.

Be aware that depending on the year and model of Honda, there are two sizes of brake reservoir caps used (56mm and 52mm?). You didn't list your specific Honda model, but most use the 56 mm cap).

Thanks. My specific model is a 2009 Honda Pilot. The id using a calliper is 56 mm.

The 56 mm cap fits your 2009 Pilot. However, I actually have the CTA 7030 cap, not the CM Tools cap I previously linked above. The CTA 7030 cap seals perfectly on my Hondas.

Thanks, is that a normal air hose quick connect on top?

No it is not the same as a the quick disconnect fitting on your compressor. The fitting is unique that only fits the CTA pressure bleeder and the threads in the cap won't accommodate a conventional fitting used for pneumatic tools.

I just replaced the 1/4" i.d. tubing from the Motive bleeder and transitioned to a 1/2" i.d. tube using a double-male end brass barbed reducing coupler from Amazon. I also used fuel injection hose clamps which won't cut into the tubing and sustains higher pressure.

Thanks. I noticed from the CTA website that the fitting cap is a “ 1/2” Nitto”. It is indeed different from other male quick connects. Here is a female version of a 1/2” Nitto from CTA.

Here is a close up of the 1/2” male Nitto fitting.

All this info is very useful for people who want to covert their Motive Pressure jug to a quick connect version.

I'm not a fan of those. All you're doing is introducing moisture when you pressurize the unit. Professional pressure bleeders have a diaphragm that separates the brake fluid from the pressurized air.
