Not sure about the one in your picture because we do not carry it or anything like it but the DeeMaxx Disc Brake Kit w/ Actuator for Tandem Axle Trailers item # DE66AR will work with the Hand Vacuum Pump Brake Bleeder item # PTW87030. This allows you to pull fluid through the lines at the caliper.

Hey, did the Hand Vacuum Pump Brake Bleeder work well with your DeeMaxx Disc Brake Kit? I'm curious to know if it pulled the fluid through the lines as expected, as it could help others considering a similar setup.

@JerredH it worked some what, I didn’t feel comfortable that it had gotten all of the air out so I also did it the old way. I think it would work but with this installation you have to draw a lot of fluid to clear all of the lines. It just seemed easier the old way. I am going to try the new one way valve method. I purchased 4 one vale brake bleeders on Amazon and going to give it a try sometime.
