Who has a power brake bleeder that works with the Viper and where did you get it? I want to flush my fluid this winter and do not want to take it in to get it done.

I had pretty good luck recently with a $5 one man brake bleeder kit from AutoZone. It basically consists of a plastic bottle with a one-way valve, some fittings and plastic hose.

You connect everything, mount the bottle to something metal on the car (comes with a magnet mount) that is higher than the caliper (air bubbles) and slowly pump the brake pedal 4-5 times. Drain the bottle and pump a few more times until clear fluid runs through the hose.

The first wheel took about 10 pumps and the others gradually were less. Brakes work fine, new fluid throughout and I did it myself without a lot of costly equipment.

The Motive is great but the universal adapter *****. The adapter from Miller tools (part #6643a) is 56$. I have heard that the Ford three tab master cylinder cap fits the Gen II Vipers but have not confirmed that for sure.
