OKAY, AS PROMISED THE \"AB\" CONTRAPTION..W/ PICS AND VIDEO.

I finally had some time to show you guys a way to vacum out the old oil with out the hassle of hand pumps and the mess that is associated with changing diff fluid or just sucking out the old fluid from brake, power steering, coolant..whatever you need to remove in a clean way.

You have to have an air compressor to make this work.

Below you will see my garden type sprayer I used because of the hard plastic container that will not colapse under vacum pessure.

On one side of the tank, I put a quick connect fitting you can buy from home depot on one side of the tank. I put a nylon tube there for the suction part of the contraption.

The other side is the part where the Habor Freight vacum will connect to.

Connect the air hose to the vacum and put the hose in the fluid you need to extract... and whalla! You're extracting with out a mess!

Lick on the link below and see my contraption in action! I have a small bowl of diff fluid being extracted with my contraption...notice how well it ***** up the fluid! Put it's in a nice clean container for disposal. Now this fuild I am extracting is very thick...but I wanted you to see the thickest fluid it would do with no problem. Cool part of all of this is... it's under $50 bucks to make this.

That's a pretty cool idea AB. How much is the Harbor Freight vacuum pump?

LOL, ab that's to cool. I'm still waiting for my pump from harbor freight. Is the quick connect threaded on one side or did you fasten/seal it some other way?

Re: OKAY, AS PROMISED THE

the quick connect is on one side and the other is just a tight fitting hose, due to the fact that is the vacum side, so you don't have to worry about it blowing off.

"Lick on the link below"

Ok, I tried that seven times. Now my screen is all sticky and still no connect to the link.

I was eating a sandwich when I tried this. Do you think that could be the problem?

Re: OKAY, AS PROMISED THE

I'm less so concerned with removing fluids so much so as replacing the fluids - what methods do people use to replace their transmission and differential fluids without making a major mess?
