Toyota Tacoma brake pressure bleed adapter
Shared by
3DPrintedCarPartDescription
This thing... these things... make up an adapter for connecting an air source to your Toyota Tacoma brake reservoir to make it easier to pressure bleed the brakes. These vehicles have a reservoir with a simple pop on rubber cap so the commercially available pressure bleeders call for use of a cumbersome "universal" adapter which is less than ideal. To be clear, this thing is intended to be used an an air source only, not to run brake fluid through. The idea is to connect the air source with quick disconnects, bleed the brakes, then pop off the disconnect and unscrew the adapter cap to refill the reservoir. Then repeat. Your air source can be a typical commercial pressure bleeder pump, garden sprayer, or your shop compressor with the regulator adjusted down to about 10-15 psi. Make up a quick disconnect using 1/4" ID tubing, oetiker clamps, and shop or medical quick disconnects. The shop disconnects will require adapters to mate up to the smaller tubing so I like the medical pieces. I am calling this thing a work in progress since I haven't actually tested it yet. One potential issue is that the TPU used for the parts that need to seal may be a bit too rigid to be 100% airtight. This really shouldn't matter if you use a shop compressor as the air source since it will easily be able to keep up with minimal leakage. But a small hand bleeder pump may leak down too fast. We'll see. If it does, the cap gasket can be changed for rubber. And a thin rubber shim used on the collar, if necessary. The cap with barb and gasket could also be used alone without the collar and male thread adapter pieces on compatible cars, mostly European models. Please read the "Post Printing" section for assembly and use instructions. Use at you own risk. Edit: I just tested this out on my truck with a very small pressure bleeder pump and it does leak down a bit. Look for an update with improved gasket and sealing towards the end of next week.
