OEMTOOLS Power Steering & Brake Bleeder Kit 27311 — Vacuum Adapter Kit with Reservoir Bottle and Multiple Adapters

OEMTOOLS 27311 is a vacuum-assisted bleeder kit that removes trapped air from power steering and brake systems after fluid changes or repairs.

When air gets trapped in brake lines or power steering reservoirs it can cause noise, inconsistent steering feel, and reduced system reliability. The OEMTOOLS 27311 kit teams with a hand vacuum pump to apply controlled suction at the reservoir, allowing technicians and DIYers to purge air without disassembling hard-to-reach components. Built for repeated shop use, the kit includes multiple adapters and a catch bottle to protect the vacuum pump from fluid contamination.

How does this kit remove air from power steering and brake systems?

The kit creates a vacuum at the reservoir or bleeder fitting so trapped air migrates out of lines into the bottle. Using suction instead of pumping fluid back through the system reduces mess and helps clear air pockets that cause noise or irregular operation.

• Connect EPDM tapered adapters to form an airtight seal on most power steering reservoirs.
• Attach one of three brake bleeder adapters to match disc or drum fittings.
• Collect expelled fluid in the included reservoir bottle to prevent pump contamination.

What vehicle systems and fittings does the 27311 kit support?

This kit covers a broad range of domestic and import vehicles by offering interchangeable adapters for common reservoir necks and bleeder nipples. It works with most hand vacuum pumps so you can use existing shop tools rather than buying a proprietary pump.

• Two tapered EPDM rubber adapters to fit most power steering reservoirs.
• Three bleed adapter sizes to match typical brake bleeder fittings.
• Compatible with both disc and drum brake systems across many makes and models.

How does the kit protect my vacuum pump and make cleanup easier?

A transparent reservoir bottle captures brake or steering fluid drawn during the bleed, preventing fluid from entering the hand vacuum pump. That containment reduces maintenance on the pump and keeps work areas cleaner than open-flow bleeding methods.

• Reservoir bottle collects waste fluid and allows visual monitoring of expelled air and liquid.
• Adapters seal firmly to minimize splatter and fluid leakage during suctioning.
• Durable materials designed for repeated use in professional and home garages.

How simple is it to use this kit for DIYers and pros?

Using the 27311 is straightforward: select the correct adapter, attach the bottle, connect the vacuum pump, and apply controlled vacuum while turning the steering or cycling brakes per manufacturer guidance. The kit reduces the need for complex disassembly and helps achieve a more complete bleed faster.

• Quick-change adapters speed up setup between different vehicles.
• Works with standard hand vacuum pumps—no special electronics or power needed.
• Clear bottle provides immediate visual confirmation that air has been removed.

Who is this for: The OEMTOOLS 27311 bleeder kit is aimed at automotive technicians, independent mechanics, and informed DIYers who perform fluid changes, steering repairs, or brake service. It’s especially useful when bleeding hard-to-reach reservoirs, when you want to protect hand vacuum equipment from fluid backflow, or when you need an adaptable set of seals and adapters to support multiple vehicle makes. This kit pairs well with any compatible hand vacuum pump and is sized for repeated use in both home and professional environments.
