Question:

Looking for a way to use a pressurized brake bleeder kit with my Dexter E/H 1600 Actuator. Various kits, such as: YSTOOL Manual Brake Clutch Fluid Bleeder Kit Oil Change Bleeding Tool Set with 3L Hand Pressure… often have a family of cap options for connecting to the master brake cylinder reservoir. Ie., some have options for Ford, GMC, Dodge, Jeep, etc. My question is whether you think that one of these automotive master cylinder caps might also work on my Dexter Actuator? If so, then I might be able to purchase a Jeepinch or ?inch cap that would also fit on my Dexter Actuator. Thanks, Mike

The Dexter EOH actuator # K71-651 can absolutely be used with a pressure bleeder. The actuator has a standard brake bleeder nipple on the revivor which you can attach the hose of a power bleeder to for faster bleeding. We do not carry the YSTOOL brand, so I cannot say for sure if their kit will be compatible. We do have the hand pump bleeder # PTW87030 that will be compatible with the fitting on the Dexter EOH actuator.
