Hey all,
So I have a Motive European Power Brake Bleeder that I use on the wifey's SUV and had hoped to get an adapter for my Gen 2.5. Unfortunately Motive does not make an adapter specifically for our trucks but offers a universal adapter that has notably poor reviews due to fit/leak. In looking at the adapter it came with, it seemed a straightforward make and I found a nice write up through a google search for anyone interested. The write-up takes you from scratch if you don't have the Motive or similar bleeder. I only needed the adapter and so far it has worked out well. All of the parts can be found at Home Depot between the plumbing and hardware aisles. I held out for some Oetiker clamps for peace of mind. The washers are 1/2" and the rubber o-rings come in packs in the plumbing department. The brake fluid reservoir cap part number is MB895999 and I got this off of ebay for around $10.
