Bled the brakes on the Boss today. Had wanted to do for some time as the fluid was looking pretty dirty and hoping to get in a track day at the new track north of Calgary.
The process to use the Motive bleeder is really simple: fill the Motive container up with your brake fluid of choice, attach cap (comes with purchase) to your brake fluid reservoir, pump the unit up to 15 PSI (gauge on unit) and then proceed to each of your calipers, crack open the bleeder and watch the fluid flow till clear - Note: make sure you hold the catch container (your empty brake fluid bottle will do) above the bleeder screw itself. When satisfied that fluid is good, close bleeder.
When your done, simply unscrew the cap slowly ON THE MOTIVE container and the air pressure will release. Your brake fluid reservoir will be full, so be careful when you remove the Motive cap. I used a syringe to take out some fluid. Put the cap back on and you're done. Go in your car and pump your brake till it stiffens up.
Here's a link to the Motive Products site. They list the different Mustang Model years and the part# you need: https://www.motiveproducts.com/
I bought mine from Amazon, but you may want to check FB Marketplace or Kijiji as they do come up for sale periodically.
Lastly, I found 1 bleeder on my Brembo that appeared to be clogged, so I'm going to remove and try to clean it up, or worst case, replace it.
