@NUMBER1MrSHOWTIME- For your 1963 VOLVO; first step; drain all fluids; Brakes,Clutch, Coolant, Oil, Gear Lube, the lot. Refill all with new; even fuel. Second;remove all spark plugs and spin motor; first by hand, then with starter. Spin motor with plugs removed until you have oil pressure. Replace ANY rubber hose that looks questionable. Bleed your brakes. Obviously. Install plugs. Start engine and check for leaks. It may be necessary to have the carburettor(s) massaged/adjusted.

They say this tool can be used to vacuum bleed the system but air leaks around the bleeder screw making this method impossible. I emailed them and technical department said " this tool is not a vacuum tool it is a positive pressure tool meant to put fluid into the bleed screw back to the master cylinder"

@Tessijia use some thread sealant on your bleeders before you install them, and don't back the screws out so far. You just need to back the bleeder out enough so that fluid comes out in a pretty good stream when you push on the brake pedal - this is usually around 1/4 to 1/2 turn from fully tightened.

@Tessijia thx for the info, im about to buy this, how would you rate it besides as a vacuum tool? is it worth buying to replace brake and clutch fluid?
