    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

So I've been reading about all the tips for bleeding brakes and I really want to use this method as I'm pretty sure there's still some air in the system that I can 't extract but I can't find syringes for sale anywhere. Someone said the paint section of Home Depot but those folks don't know anything. Are they called something else there? I couldn't see any. Can someone tell me exactly what to use? Thank you very much.

try a farm supply store, lots of vet supplys and some FREAKING HUGE syringes

Syringes are medical equipment; they are used by hospitals, dialysis clincis and Biomedical technicians. I am not versed with the brake bleeding technique but a 500ml syringe sould be sufficient.

ya, if you could lift it :p. the best overall size would be a 60ml. but anything over a 10 will do. if you can, get glass. the fluids tend to make the plastic ones stick.
 
i got the idea from bwringer to get a large syringe for measuring 2 stroke engine oil. it works very well.
 
I actually went into a pharmacy to see about buying a syringe and they totally thought I wanted to shoot up! They wouldn't give me one. New York City is really annoying some times.
